Hello all. I am in the midst of purchasing a 64" Puma 3 pt. snowblower and already am determing how to convert it to a hydraulic drive Q.T. FEL mount. The plan is to build a 3 pt engine/pump/tank arrangement, hose run down the loader arms, hydraulic motor and Q.T. mods to the blower. I want to use a Wisconsin V4 to run the pump, for no other reason than I want a V4 to go along with the THD on my old Lincoln welder and this is as good an excuse as any - I love the old Wisconsins....anyway, I would hang all this on our Ford 1900 which is a gear drive rig and this would allow me to drive the tractor with the foot throttle without affecting power available at the snowblower....plus, a 60 horse 5' snowblower, overdriven a bit, really ought to throw some snow.....Overkill? Absolutely, Practical? Maybe not so much but I want to build it regardless..Love to hear pump/motor control suggestions, sorry bout the longwinded post, thanks, Rick
