Hi! A friend gives me a old front end snowblower. The problem or trouble is bad rotation.
I change rotation. Not easy! But I make it.
First step! Change the output side. We must cut (I use a 4 1\2 in.Grinder with disk) the top of output important to cut at same height each side for 180 deg, reverse and we reweld at other side Pict 2-3
We must change pad direction on impeller . We must cut the impeller shaft and add a pilot bearing for support. Important the bearing must be inside the blower fan housing for clear the auger. pict 4
For reverse auger rotation we must turn the gear box 180 deg. And add a universal joint for connect the gear box at impeller shaft. pict 5
Now this front end snowblower is ready for BCS rotation.
Good luck! Oldmech
