OK, I know there are crazy Snow blowers out there, but this one is usable and fits my driveway !!!! LOL



Spent the weekend playing with a 4 HP Increase !!! Took off the 5HP flat head, and installed a 9HP OHV engine !!! Snow kings !!!



Not to bad, about 4 hours total time, Modifying a bracket, and just getting belts and drilling a couple of holes...



Was a well worth it investment, Got the engine for $260 new !!! The old engine in deep snow threw it about 15-20 feet..... I now can burry it and throw snow 40 feet PLUS !!!!!!!!



I Love it !! ARGH ARGH ARGH !!!!!!!! :banana::banana:

Speaking of snowblower modifications, my dad and I did the impeller wiper add-on modification and did notice a nice distance improvement. I used some old mudflaps for rubber and my dad had some stainless plate stock to use.
