Dennis,

How much was your blowers performance improved in %  ??

Would you buy the kit again if you had another blower?

Well Fred, honestly yes i'd buy the kit again, it improved by 35% on fluffy snow and 55% on wet snow, so tha'ts very impressive for little rubber pale.

Congradulation to Clarence again.

lol, I hope that camera was in a old vehicle. The snow seems that hard it sounds like somebody throwing rocks at the vehicle.   Looks like it works great tho, how long did it take for you to receive it?

Cheers

Dennis,

His kit also reduces clogs to almost never!!

Maybe one in about 50 hours of usage!!

 Newfie,

When your warranty runs out, install the kit     ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

oh YESS!!! I am already eye balling it. I am surprised that new machines would need this mod, well they probably don't when you have enough hp to do the job, but still you would think that the gap would be almost nill on new machines. Is there a reason for this? Less drag on the motor or something?

Cheers

Loose tolerances.

 A gap of 3/8ths between impeller and impeller housing is cheaper to make than one with less than 1/64th!!

Think of you blower as a water pump, how well does a "water pump" pump with a large gap between housing and impeller, worthless!!

I think 2 hours is the average time for installing the kit. The hardest part is to tighten the bolts in the back of the impeller.

Good going Denis.  You can really hear the engine bark when you get into the slush stuff.  Obviously nasty stuff to move.  The machine really blasts that stuff out.  Wouldn't want to be caught in front of it. 

By the way, thanks for the advice and posting my picture.  When I tried to add the attachment, I didn't have any choices.  I just displayed the image then copied the address for it from the top of the page.  I didn't see anywhere else that would give me an alternative.  Any suggestions?

Hi Denis.

Thanks for the info but I had that part figured out.  My problem is trying to find the correct URL with the .jpg file over at www.serving.com.  When I select this picture, this is the only detectable URL  and it's right up at the top of the page in the address field:  http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=3&u=11783895

So, my problem is trying to get the correct address for the picture.  Any suggestions there?

Thanks for the help bud.

Thanks Denis.

I was overlooking one part of the process.  I had to hit "Links" to get me to the page with the addresses.  I'm posting a pic to see if it works.  I must admit that this is a $#%*bersome way of posting pics.  Other forums are much simpler. 

This picture was taken about ten days ago.  We got 25"  or so that weekend.

Donjag, try to minimize your pic to small icon because every time you post we see the big blower.

Question

How the heck do you drill the holes in the impeller without disassembling it? I have a Sear 5hp (made by MTD). My impeller gap is nearly one full inch! I can't fit my hand or my drill down the chute. Even I remove the auger blades I won't be able to get the drill straigtht into the blade.

Thanks.
