For all you snowblower gurus

How much of a angle, incline, can a SB take before leaking oil..
Rolled up my Oldie on ramps to a pickup bed and the --------- leaked oil everywhere.....

It's all good. Gave her a wipedown, topped off the oil.
Just need to give her some gas and she if she starts right up on the 1st pull...

I also would like to avoid this from happening to me. What was the incline of the ramp you used?

I can flip mine right over on the front of it's blower housing w/out any oil leakage. 7hp/24" MTD.

The only way mine will leak is if you lay it breather side down so it runs out the breather. 8hp Tecumseh / 27" Noma

Never had one leak anything going the ramp into a pick-up or trailer. Darn near have to turn the thing upside down to get it to leak.
