This is a stock photo from Ixquick, and the tractor is a smaller model than Bryan got, but you get the idea.
The mower deck is over on the left, and the snow thrower is ready to throw.

My lawn tractor (bought used on EBay like the snowblower) is a TroyBilt. They do have a snow blower implement available but for new ones they want four-times the dollars that I paid for the tractor (and none used on EBay in local pick-up range for at least three years now..)

When I was looking for the lawn tractor specifically for mowing the property here, someone also had an old John Deere tractor with a snow blower on it listed at the same time as the tractor I bought. Problem was that the mower deck that the seller would ‘toss in’ for no additional cost was shot and at the time I needed a mower so I skipped the JD with snowblower/shot mowing deck and opted for the Troy Bilt with functioning mower..

And you know how it goes.. If I am going to replace either the snowblower or the lawn tractor, you never go for the same size, you go for bigger, so I would need to be looking at 28 inch or wider snowblowers (the JD is a 26” unit) and a tractor/mower with a deck wider than 42”... ;-)

My Craftsman snowthrower looks like the one pictured above, except it's a Craftsman that was purchased several years ago and runs fine!!
(The discharge chute is different then the one pictured above.)

BTW: I always use 100% synthetic motor oil in my yard equipment that use a gasoline engine!!!
