I'm pretty sure I'm going to try and rig up my 11HP troybilt snowblower to my MTD 40" blower attachment
I usually forget to take before pictures on my projects and also figured maybe if I start a thread early it will motivate me more to get this project done before winter so this might be a good time to post the "before pictures"
I really hope the chutes are interchangeable because the blower body has a joystick style remote control for both the direction and the chute outlet flap that I'd really like to keep intact

actually the city comes by here with a trackless and a snowblower mounted on it...its kind of fun to pile it up on the sidewalk with the plow and then watch the overpaid city guy take runs at it trying to bust through :D |

Truck vs. snowblower, hmmm tough choice! I bet you can clean sidewalks like nobody's business though, real fast! |

tried it out today and it works great
the wind was blowing from the direction I needed to blow though so I quickkly decided to park it and use the truck instead |

this second one took 30 minutes...the snowblower bucket bolts lined up exactly the same and even the pulleys had the same spline ...no bracket welding required it was a direct bolt on fit. |

I found another same attachment and have a good 10hp blower with a rotten bucket so I think Ill be making a second one ...so many people liked my idea when they seen it that I figure the second one will be an easy sell |

100 feet straight up would be nice though...and then when it falls in the neighbors yard it might look natural lol |

farther doesnt really help me...the lots here are only 50 feet wide
Im hoping the rubber will help when the snow is slushy...but I ve put that on hold and switched into a few storage/shed building projects...I picked up a 53' transport trailer and have been busy trying to get my junk stored away before the snow comes..tearing down and rebuilding a tool shed too while trying not to cripple my back any worse |

now I'm thinking of boosting it even more by adding rubber flaps to the impeller blades so it throws even better...I seen some youtube videos where it really improved the amount and distance of the snow output...
anyone ever tried this?
skip to the 1 minute mark and it will show what im thinking of doing

Well, that should cover some ground! Looks like it grew there, should be a fine outfit. |

up here just about everyone owns snowblowers or snowplows
the only ones that I've ever seen with a cable was an old 1967 simplicity one I used to have..was in great shape ..I gave it to an uncle who still uses it at his camp
the spring thing you see on the black auger house was removed and now the chute turns with the left joystick on the blower..tilt it left or right and the chute turns...tilt it front or back and it adjusts the little top flap..its hard to see in the picture because I had diconnected the cables..the mechanism is upside down sitting over the motor and the mounting point is hidden behind the muffler...pretty neat idea they had with that
I was kind of surprised no commented about my lawn  |

It sure is a good feeling when a project like this comes together faster than expected huh?! I am looking forward to the pics, never used a blower myself. Always wanted to try though. |

Usually not enough snow down here to use a blower. Never used one myself. Interesting project though. Good that everything lines up as well as it does. I like that spring worm auger rotation mechanism. Most I've seen use a cable. |
