Look Ducksjunk - Snowthrower Re:195D post

[Skinman]

Thanks gbirky. Look in the photo section under Skinman and there's a pic of the rear of the gearbox. It was 1:00 am our time last night (this morning) when I posted - forgot that photo. It's a 1:1 ration from PTO to driveshaft. I run it at 1000 RPM PTO. Had no instructions on how to use it - it came with my tractor. 540 RPM would barely get snow out of the chute - 1000 RPM throws a normal(?) snow about 15 ft. I hope to get pics of it installed soon, but it's going to be 60 deg. today - can't commit yet. Because of the gearbox, once it's on, nothing can be used on the 3 pt. lift. Hope to iron out that problem someday.

Thanks Skinman for the great pics. They have given me some ideas. I'm sure they will be helpful. Your blower is the same as mine, and I also found that it was to slow at 540 RPM. I'm hoping to add a front pto to my YM195D. Haven't decided yet if I will go with a mechanical drive or connect it to a hydraulic pump and run the blower with a hydraulic motor. Decisions, incisions, busy right now, won't get back to it until next week. Still have to paint the ugly old beast as well.
better get to it soon. The weather here is running from frost at night to highs of 50F in the daytime. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
