   Bought this on November 8, 2018 from Lowe's. Did not have a lot of snow this winter only small accumulations. When I was prepairing it for storage this summer I noticed when I went to put stabilizer in the gas tank when removing the lid the gas tank fell down inside of the outer casing. I took an extended warrenty out at lowe's and found it only covered engine and electrical. Checked the manufacture warrenty and the outer cover was not covered. Pulled the back off and found the cover has little hangers molded into the cover case. They were broke off and the bracket holding the tank droped down.
   The unit runs good and worked great but really disappointed the the design of the system that holds the tank Also noticed all the bolt's holding the cover are cracked. Very disappointed in the engineering of this unit. Anyone buying one of the troy-bilt blowers like this will have the same problem in the future. I ran a bolt through the top to keep the tank attached with the wire bracket. Thought out of all the snow blowers I checked that Troy-Bilt was a good product. I would not recommend anyone buying this unit unless you have the ability to fix them yourself.
