Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snow Chief snow blower, rubber paddles, lawn chief

Question
John,

I inherited a snow blower which has worked very well for me in the past but I am having a hard time finding any information on it or parts. It has come to the point I need to replace the rubber paddles as I am down to the metal and am having little luck finding replacements. From what I have gathered I beleive it may have been sold by True Value originally and Snow Chief may now be affiliated with MTD but they were little help on parts. They did offer to sell me the entire paddle unit as a replacement part for $300 but I declined. Below is all the information from stickers on the unit. Thanks for your help and any information or guidance on installing these is appreciated.

Answer
Hello Phil:

General Power Equipment was the Parent Company of Atlas Power Equipment, Lawn Chief, Snow Chief and Wheeler. They All Became MTD. MTD Does Not Support these Units Anymore. This Unit is Considered Outdated or an Antique Unit. You can Try the Antique Lawn Equipment Sites and you May get Lucky and Locate the Paddles. The Following Site Addy has a List of Antique Lawn Equipment Sites you can Try. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
