Garandman,

She looks great...You've got the best of both worlds- old and new.

Heavy duty old time steel  and construction and a modern, powerful OHV engine.

Now if you could just mount a rack to hold an M-1 Garand in case you see a deer or are attacked by Nazi's while blowing...you'll be all set.

This winter you'll have to post some pictures of the blower in action.

This past season I added a home made longer shoot and Ariens drift cutters. I also installed the rubber impeller kit. I was able to keep up with my neighbors newer 824. The head light is powered from the engine alt and I have it switched to the original on/off key switch. All controls for the engine are contained on the engine so my biggest control mod was relocating the shoot swivel with u-joints.

 

Looks real nice.

Nice work Lbguy, and welcome to the forum. 

I used the one Ariens U-Joint for 3/8" shaft to make the turn in the shoot crank rod.

Very nice job! I've got an ancient Bolens LT8 I'd like to drop off at your house for a few weeks

looks neat, ill have to take a pic of my neighbors 6hp craftsman snowblower next to my simplicity 32" lol, it looks like it would eat it and not know it lol

The Intek Snow engine is a nice engine, i dont have much experience with snowblowers but it seems to have tons of torque in heavy snow and wont stop, ive moved some big piles of snow with mine packed hard from the street plows

I dont' know about pimped out, but somebody had way too much time on their hands with this one!!!!

You have to log in to view the pictures at that site. But there are many pictures of the V8 snowblowers around. Chrysler had a competition for Hemi-powered equipment. It was won by a giant tricycle.
