Dear Mr. Nielsen,

I'm pleased the snowblower was of some use to you.

For the reason your snowblower wouldn't start, consider:

The reason our snowblower's chute can't be adjusted is a broken seal
which permits melted snow to trickle into the control cable where it freezes,
a defect which I haven't been able to repair.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Jochen Meyer
