    Just checked my version of Chrome, and there was an update ready. Updated it, and arrows now seem to be working. The current version of Chrome I have now is:
    Version 63.0.3239.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)

    Maybe it's something in the sig editor, I'd remove the offending line, save changes, and then re-insert the link.

    * I tested in my sig, seems to be working correctly here.

    I just checked out Huskee. Tractor Supply? It seems that they are made in China by Amerisun corp. Their engines are also made in China. They could be great machines or crap. No telling. A snowblowers weak spots are the engine and the auger gearbox. No clue on this brand. There are only three companies that make snowblowers in this country. Ariens, Toro, and Husqvarna, believe it or not. Yes they are all probably twice as expensive as the Huskee. Look carefully and the construction and ask the store if they repair the machine and if not, who does. It could be weeks to get parts shipped from China. If you do buy one, I would be interested to know how it works! I meant to add the MTD makes a ton of snowblowers for other companies. Cub Cadet
    Columbia, Remington, Troy Bilt, Yard Machines, Yardman, MTD Pro, MTD, MTD Gold and Crafstman.
    My bonafides are I am a ASE certified Master Mechanic and spent years as a small engine mechanic for a large landscaping company as a second job.

    I continued doing research and it seems that since 2013 almost all of the major engine manufacturers are having their engines made in China. That may change with the reduction of the corporate tax rate. Things that make you go :hair::bug::jaw::doh:

    Simplicity and snapper also make snow bl*wers. Simplicity owns snapper/ They also own Briggs & Stratton IIRC.........

    Simplicity's are freaking beasts. Mines 15 years old and besides some carb issues(thanks to ethanol) I haven't replaced a part yet. Buy another in a heart beat!!
