I didn't mind doing inventory when I kept the warehouse on restricted hours and served customers myself but it got irritating seeing the theft count every time I hired someone to sell furniture. There were times I'd come back to the warehouse and the loading doors would be wide open and the sales rep would be sleeping or reading a newspaper, instant firing.
I've got a 351w up here Morris, it's a efi but would run better with a 4bbl and older heads, has no flywheel.

I spent 21 years buying and selling furniture, the last 17 years was mainly commercial furniture and accessories, never met a sales rep that was worth keeping around. Some were lazy but most were scammers, found it easier to be in the warehouse from 9pm to 6am as those were the most convenient hours for my customer base. Having a sales rep in the store front just cost me money and more often than not they would claim they owned the place. My afternoon customers were by appointment only and that seemed to work quite well, if anyone pulled a no show or couldn't tell time they had no choice but to live by my hours afterwards. I only had 1 competitor and we traded customers back and forth.

I like the blower better than a blade, with a blade you have to make sure from the start of the season to push it back far enough so there is room to put what else falls through the season plus the blower sends it far enough where you don't end up with those high snow banks you can't see over backing out of your driveway..

The blade came with the John Deere tractor I bought way back when, along with a rear mounted tiller. It had hydraulic fittings so it could be turned left, right, up or down.. it would actually lift the front end off the ground..
