josjay, just thought of something else. On this type of blower, the distance between the auger and the housing is critical for distance. Make sure your auger is in close. If you can adjust it, great, if not, then make up something similar to a Clarence kit for the two throwing paddles. Also, they throw a lot better when the auger is kept full, so keep up your forward speed in light snow. Now that I can see your pic, it's not a lot different than mine except for length. My driven pulley is centered on the housing (longer shaft) because it comes off of the front PTO. This pic (if you can see it) shows a 20HP driving a single stage 48" blower. http://www.mytractorforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=145587&d=1298832440
