Larry,
   I haven't taken any pictures of the 1850 with the snow thrower yet, I am waiting for snow.... I figure taking a picture of a snow thrower in the weeds would be like taking a picture of a hay rake in the sand. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> 
   The fan on the 1850 did squeal considerably, but I pulled the console out of the ceiling and oiled the fans. They now run smooth and quiet. I will try out the heater today, 19 degrees just now. (Yesterday was 6 above and 25-30 mph wind.) At 30 degrees it starts fine without heat.
                                   Cal
