I have 9hp ariens that I got 2 years ago. I think it is the 926le model. I have the tecumseh sno-king single with cast iron sleeve. The engine is pretty much the standard. They are now putting newer technology engine on them. Mine is the proven engine that has been in use for years. It works pretty well. Mine does not have the differential though. I can either drive one wheel or two by pulling a pin. I use it with both wheels driving all the time. I think it went for about 900 - 1000.
I believe Ariens calls their units Sno-thro's but they are snow blowers. The difference is whether they are one or two stage. One stage is a fast spinning rubber paddle that throws the snow. The two stage is what I have and probably what you borrowed. There is an auger in the front that feeds the impeller that throws the snow.
Just remember. If you buy a snow blower, it won't snow.
