    Hopefully I have everything folks expressed an interest in. Trying to decide whether to start out now or do the full drive in the morning.

    I got that Shindaiwa Power Broom off of Gary! I can start it on prime, so a carb kit is on order. Can't wait to get it running. :D

    To see one in action, search "Shindaiwa Power Broom" on YouTube.

    Looks like it works great in light snow as well. I hate doing my porch, so this should be very handy in several areas around the house :)

    Get a set of bristles for it if you are going to run it on pavement much.

    This one is a dedicated Power Broom, not a power head with the attachment.

    You should be able to get a set of bristles that slide onto the axle without replacing the gearbox like an attachment. Just slide the paddle drums off and pop the bristles on.

    If I could do that? It would be even more handy. But even with paddles? I'm happy to have it. :)

    There is no way not to love these things. Just making you aware of your options is all.

    I'm in love already..

    I need to go to a Shindaiwa/echo dealer. Because a carb kit for a PB-27 seems non-existent on eBay
