Re: Bombardier SW48 etc gallery
The photo gallery needs work, I agree. Thanks to the feedback, this thread and others, I can correct it. The photos helped me to look for a deal. Came close to buying the green windowless 1984 two years ago.
As my 660 Yamaha ATV with rear chains (& teeth) does what I need for plowing and logging for 90% of the winter, a SW48 is hard to justify. I'm on 8 acres and harvest wood only for my own needs. The laneway is only 300 feet long. Trails I make in the woods for logging are made with a 60 inch blade (same width as a straight SW48 blade). The SW48 straight blade height is 26 inches though. If the deep woods snow exceeds the ATV's capability, the felled trees disappear when they land anyway, LOL.
I do expect to buy a pre-1975 SW48 someday, and have located parts suppliers and repair facilities in Eastern Canada.
