    The 3401 has 16 AWE cord on it out of the box.

    Excellent advice.

    Well I did end up getting a new 100 Ft 12 AWE cord, found a few kinks in my 14 AWE that I didn't see before, and all that does is build up resistance so.

    So in the end I threw out all of my old cords, now most of them were OLD, the 14 AWE was the newest one and that was like 12 years old if that gives you any idea.

    And in time now that I am ready to start my leaf blowing as the leaves are finally for the most part down now. I use a 100 Ft cord for the blower.

    Is that yours?

    If so, looks like you sanded the sand casting flat and then polished?


    Looks GREAT!

    Thank you!!

    It is mine. Finally had this project done! Been planning it for couple of years, but always pushed it back.

    I bought some spare parts, including the housing. Took it to a local shop to do just what you said.

    I then painted the plastics myself.

    So if you want a BEAST - you better get one while the getting is good.



    Mike
    What is the reason for them to discontinue the 3401?
    Hope there have something to replace it
