I was reading old threads on this subject. Seems like main problem is low rpm in rear pto. What about mid pto? I got old Little wander blower. Used to pull it behind ATV to clear 1/4 mi driveway. Engine wants to retire after 20+ years)) Can mid PTO be connected directly to this blower? Any ideas? Available 3 pt pto blowers too big and expensive.

The Little Wonder blower most likely has a 3600 rpm engine on it. With a 540 PTO you will have no blow, and it will most likely turn the wrong direction. You will most likely have to replace the motor, or look at some serious fab work to make it function how you want.

Mid pto is typically 2100 rpm. Still a little slow. And you will need to fab a drive shaft assembly with carrier bearings

What size of engine? If it's the 5HP you can pick up a pressure washer that the owner didn't winterize and get a 5HP for $50. A lot of those engines are Hondas, and good low hour engines.
