I am looking for a 292 or 312 to rebuild this coming Winter. Any Tips on what to look for or look out for besides not being stuck? I know its kind of a Crap Shoot buying something that can't be heard running. Any suggestions appreciated. Before anyone offers Me One I am in Canada. Looking for One locally.
