An old Ammo bucket on my Walk behind 30" Snowblower holds the same things plus a pint container of Fuel.

Almost 6 years to the day. Same setup, less snow so far.The 3 sided Canopy makes Snowblowing very pleasant. I fashioned an old 12VDC battery drill to the chute shaft and with a DPDT switch rotate the chute with fingertips. Lawn Tractor battery also powers rotating blue light and rear red LED display. Because I can. 10 overnight in Ontario Canada North of Hamilton.
Love #4. Was never a problem for my Walk behind until I added rubber extensions to the Impeller Blades. With the closing of the gap from blades to housing it became an issue. Yup rubbery smelling smoke on auger engagementNice to see that my writeup is still here after a dozen years. I still have the same setup!
The smoke will go away as rubbers wear in to accomodate off-centre/out of round housing. I put them on mine years ago and Not so sure that they do a great deal. The 10.5 HP helps! Bring on the snow.Love #4. Was never a problem for my Walk behind until I added rubber extensions to the Impeller Blades. With the closing of the gap from blades to housing it became an issue.

You misunderstood, the rubber smell was from the impeller being frozen to the Tunnel. Yes, the spinning up after I installed did cause a little heat-up as everything Seated. Funny you say they didn't help. I have put then on about 8 blowers, friends family, and the throwing distance an lack of clogging of wet snow was very obvious on all makes and sized machines. I used Belting material used on old farm equipment. It basically is reinforced rubber just like a sidewall on a car tire.The smoke will go away as rubbers wear in to accomodate off-centre/out of round housing.

I didn't know the Impeller was frozen. I don't recall that extensions made a huge difference and didn't say they didn't help. I used Belting Material as well.You misunderstood, the rubber smell was from the impeller being frozen to the Tunnel.
