I'd would get new rubber auger and scraper bar if they are worn out. It still looks good compared to today's new machines. They sure don't make them as complicated as this model nowadays. Looks in pretty good shape considering it's probably 20 years old or more. Is the price I paid fair for the machine I described above? Is it too much? Do I have to replace these this year or will they work for now? Scraper bar is not rubber, it looks like it is made from harder plastic and the edges have 3-5 indents froms scraping. This is my first snowblower, I have not worked on a snowblower before.ДЄuger's rubber parts are not new, the previous owner said he replaced them 3 years ago.It looks like rubber parts are worn by about half an inch maybe.Because I can see where the tip of the rubber was at one point by looking at the very thin end of the rubber. Is this normal? To start the machine the choke needs to be 'closed' or it won't start. I started it again today and it still surges when the choke is 'open' during the first few minutes, then stabilizes. I added some seafoam and noticed that it helped it stabilize on that day. The choke knob is loose, moves around with the vibration.And when I put the choke on 'open' position it most of the time surges (up and down).

I recently got a used old Honda HS35 snowblower for $80.
