Snowblower My Meteor has wings!

[flowerfarmer]

Had these wings fabricated increasing my cutting width from 59 3/4" to 65". I think they turned out real nice!

Good job :thumbsup: Those should make a big difference especially with high drifts.

Nice design - I really like the tails that tie them in further back - strong without being excessive - great job. The tall wings give good visibility too.

Thanks, I wish i could take credit but I just gave Tim an idea of what I wanted and he came up with the design. This is the first fabrication job I gave him (he's my mechanic) and I was very impressed with his creativity and his attention to detail. He obviously takes pride in his work.

Yep, very nice work.
Sounds like a lot of folks would be very happy to have a "Tim"

How about that triangle shaped piece of steel that is partly covering the fan? Is that something you added or it was there when you bought the blower? The reason why I ask is that I too have a 60" Meteor and don't have that triangular cover. I could see how it helps keeping the snow in the fan area thus tossing out more with each rotation.

I like it. It will give a nice clean cut to sculpt the snow.

What rig are running.?? How much pto/hp.??

Nice. I was just asking about wings last week or so. I see you went with the bracing and also a lot of bolts to hold each wing on. I'm going the opposite, few bolts and no bracing. We'll have to share our experience as the season gets here, which I hope won't be anytime soon.

The fan cover is a new feature on the 2010 model Meteor
