A Variation of Drift Cutters
Original Message   Feb 17, 2005 1:49 am
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 really increases the amount of snow intake to take better advantage of the machine's working capacity.

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.

 It looks like the chute is lower than the intake? Can you blow snow straight ahead without  hitting it.

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

Hey it is almost as big as the vent on top of my stove. 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.

Will, you'll probably have to pay postage/shipping......  I mean on the wife....

I don't think Marty will take COD..... he's from Jersey.

Marty:
Was it made of three pieces?
Are the side pieces welded to the center piece?
Can't see any bolt holes in the top piece,to hold it on with?
How tall does this make the intake now?
Very nice piece of engineering,getting the curve
and bend in the center section.

Put it where the Big iron wheel runs!!!
