A Variation of Drift Cutters
Original Message Feb 16, 2005 8:49 pm

This is attached to my messy Sears project:

The auger bucket height on this is only about 11". Someone (not me) skillfully engineered & fabricated a super nice looking auger extension for this machine made out of stainless steel. It reallyÂ increases the amount of snow intake to take better advantage of the machine's working capacity.

Marty,

Beautiful workmanship!Â When painted, you easily will think it came like that from the factory.Â I think it'll make an awesome EOD machine

Marty,

Heard you're considering selling it, If acceptable, I'll trade you my wife, and a partridge in a pear tree. Oh, Oh, gotta run I hear her coming. You need to get off those late shifts, takes its toll on the body, can't have you falling apart.

Regards

Will

Nice , I would paint it matching color.

Â It looks like the chute is lower than the intake? Can you blow snow straight ahead withoutÂ hitting it.

Â I would assume if you angled upward you could, but if you wanted max foward throw distance would it be hindered by thatÂ intake.

Hey it is almost as big as the vent on top of my stove.Â Kinda looks like it too.

Looks great, I think it will work well.

It will definately make those terrorists think twice before they come to New Jersey.

I think you need to add drift cutters to it.
