those old 2 stroke Toro sidewalk blowers [200S model or something like that ] really got a beating from my brother and i over the years. super dependable, and as fast as you could shove 'em, but hogging a full face of 12" or so, you had to take it "kind of" easy.
the original one the old man bought back in 75 or so, lasted through a bunch of guide flaps, a couple of drum bearings, zipties, mechanic's wire, and "repaired" handle using "chrome" angle iron.
when it went away, it had a couple of "parts blowers" go with it, but still ran GREAT !

one thing it did NOT like, was automatic transmission coolant lines. the drum and flaps ate them up until they wound around the drum a couple of times before locking everything up, then it tool an hour or so to unwind the mess.
