Snowblower Frankenblower! (self powered snowblower attachment)

OMG.. I'm sure the safety police will be all over this. But it does sound like something most of would like to see. Where are you located that you're getting all this snow?
I waiting to see Frankenblower with the upgraded engine.

Hi Wedge!

I'm north of Boston, almost to NH. You're welcome here anytime!

I'll go ahead and suggest some George next video. I find him to be great snowblowing music.

George? George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers??? I've seen the man live at many venues...one of the hardest rocking masters of them all. "How Sweet It Is" Maybe gear jammer? I think you might be on to something.

For the other suggestions, THANK YOU! I like lots of music but George just might fit here.

Hello Wedge!

I COMPLETELY AGREE!! Boston is for the rats, two legged and four.

Good news, BIG SNOW EXPECTED TONIGHT!! I have my nephew on the overnight and he'll do camera work, up until now it's been all by tripod and alone. I hope for the best yet, the Kohler's running great and I put in the new clutch last night.

Wooohoo!

I'm thinking "Home Improvement" was your favorite show?

I love to go downtown to eat. I think I'd weigh 300 lbs if I lived there.

Actually, Tim the Tool Man has some good ideas there. Why not a 5 hp garbage disposal? It would chew up anything! The truth here is that there is NO WAY I was going to pull of the FEL and subframe every Nov and put it back every April. I had to do this. Well, I felt I had to. As to the engine size, I wanted bigger but only could get this 16 for cheap.

Just back from dinner in Salem NH, going out to the fire pit with nephew to greet the storm.

Best to you Wedge...and all.

PS Pretty sure the music will be George... "Born to be Bad"

I didn't see chains on your 'Bota...maybe soon? They really help.

My snowblowing area is very flat, so I don't really need chains. When I do slip, I just lift the blower a bit.

Looks like bostonrats has sent his snow up into central NH!

5" so far, and still coming down hard... guess I know what I'll be doing later... Glad I did the maintenace on the blower & drivetrain yesterday afternoon!

No, I don't have a frankenblower-- the "little red beast" will handle it nicely, however. (But I have to admit, that bostonratsblower looks mighty powerful! Hmmm... maybe I should try music...)

Rats....you Sir, are one distinguished redneck! ....Frankenblower is a fine contraption. While it's fine as it is, if you decide to re-power, I vote for a 440 snowmobile engine....see if you can get 200 feet out of it ;-)

What I'd really like to see are some photos of the mechanicals and hook up...pretty please?

And as far as Jethro Tull, may I suggest an old live album called "Bursting Out". It is simply Ian Andersen at his flamboyant best. The dude is a "couple sandwiches short of a picnic" to begin with but this album takes the cake. The most dynamic, hard-rocking thing they ever put out....one of those albums that must be played from start to finish, perfect road trip tunes. Any Tull fan should own this!
