 o
Homelite leaf blower, and other stuff:

Well, the first thing is: The leaf blower. It is mounted on a two-wheeled dolly, small, apparently made for it. It runs well, but, the way it is mounted, the air blows out to the right side, which of course, blows the leaves everywhere but straight ahead. Useless for blowing leaves out of the driveway-they go right and cover the shrubbery!
I can't look a gift horse in the mouth, as the saying goes, so i'm going to get a strap to hang it from my shoulder, and it will be ok!
Then a man stopped and gave me a fancy Scotts Push mower, with a blown engine! I didn't know that fact until i got well into it! RATS! Well, the parts will fit other engines. He also gave me a nice Craftsman Pressure washer-minus the pump! He allowed it had froze and cracked, and a new pump would be cost prohibitive, so i got it, too. The engine runs well, but----what will it fit? Won't know that until i remove the remains of the pump. Life is full of surprises! And, life goes on!

The Leaf blower is held on to the bracket with 2 metal screws... or the bracket just slides our of the cart and easily converts to hand held, or better with a shoulder strap. I have the blower tubes and shoulder strap available.
If you want to get rid of the bracket , I'm interested
Hope your good luck continues
