I have been looking for a snowblower for my 300/400 tractors for many years, I foud this one this fall about 20 miles from the house. This baby is like brand new with the original belts (I think). I used it for the firt time this week-end with good results. I can't believe how much faster it is than a plow......

Thanks for all the comments guys! Ryan what a great idea, I will be duplicating the wheel set-up on mine next summer. Oldsarge I will be making a spout rotator for it as well, did you use a r.h, or l.h side window motor? Dodgeman My front ag tires are 16x6.5x8 I will pm you the E-bay store wheni find it.. Mack thanks for the download link....

1014211: For the wheel mounts; I used a 1/4" plate and welded a 1/2" bolt through it and bought push-mower wheels with 1/2" bore. I did re-enforce the sides of the blower-housing and tied each into the cross brace that runs across the back to provide better support. Seems to be tough enough although this is only its 2nd winter.
freddie: The chute angle is powered off the hydraulic system I added to the tractor, as it is only a gear-drive trans. The chute rotation is much the same as the setup used by oldsarge. That was a cheap and effective mod!

Hey Gearhead19, that is a very good looking tractor and blower you have there,I would like to know what size of front tires and wheels you have there? I would like to put that type of tire on the front of my AC 416s. Any information will be greatly appreciated thank you. |

I think his chute is still hand operated.I built an electric one using a mid-70s Ford power window motor and some rudimentary welding.Plumbing strap holds it right where the drum attaches to the blower,add an electric lift and the only thing I still need is a cab!!! |

now ryan, i take it that the chute is ran off the hydro tranny. i think the guys would realy like more picks of your whole set up here.
looks like a real nice rig.
gearhead19, nice find on the blower, congrats and enjoy. |

Holy crap what a setup! Is your cute even run by hydraulics? I have never seen that! That is an awesome setup, I might have to think about this now! Any closeups of the wheels would be awesome, thanks Ryan! |
