Just a note to say if you install a cab on the Ariens which very simple to do even by your self, add 14 lbs of weight on the front end or you'll have the blower lifting up and the cab banging your head. You could buy an Ariens 10 lb weight for $60 which bolts inside over the auger, or you could install one 2 lb and one 5 lb steel lifting weights on each side available from Walmart for about $14 in the drift cutter holes. You'll have to buy stove bolts,fender washers and nuts. You can still install drift cutters inside the weights.
