Here are a couple pictures of the business end, as I said it's in need of some maintenance, but it works great. Assuming it's been in service since 2002 it has held up pretty well in my opinion and has a lot of years left. I plan to power wash it, paint most of it again, and grease everything...

I don't know the weight of the fan and auger, it wasn't listed in the manual, the newer model of the MK Martin has a 5 blade fan, mine has an older 4 blade. It also has only a single auger. The manual that I got with it indicates a purchase date of 2002 and it's still in pretty good shape, it...
