That one has an open front, this one does not, but thanks anyway.Yes that's the one
There was one square piece of sheet metal with a U-shaped cutout for the shaft that slides in the slots. You can see the no-paint silhouette. It was almost fully closed when I got the blower. There are also slots on the other side and it appears that they were tied together with a common adjusting mechanism at one time to regulate intake airflow. The other blowers of this type (Agri-Fab, Olathe, Toro) seem to have smaller intakes. We'll have to see.Looking good Bob.
Question: Do you think the intake openings are big enough to supply full flow through the output opening, or will you be restricting that down some to get higher velocity?
Thank you. That is very close and the construction is similar including the belt drive, but the impeller has a closed back and the housing only has one opening. In viewing the videos of this unit in action it appears like it uses 540 r/m PTO speed and through the step-up pulley system might spin at ~2,000 r/m?Maybe this? Terra King TKV20
