I'm considering purchasing a blower from a guy for 700 dollars. He didn't give me the model number or the mileage. All he could tell me is it made 5 pounds when he had it installed and that its one of the older ball bearing paxtons. I don't know what to look for or even if thats a good price. The kit is complete, so what do you guys think. i'll post a pic of the head unit. as far as inspection what should i look for. obviously i need to spin the pulley but how tight or loose should it be? what noises are normal what are not?
