Here ya go!

Thanks Garandman, having trouble loading pics.

The new B&S Snow Intek is quieter than the old Tec and considerly more powerful. The headlight is the $9.99 rubber coated item from AutoZone. My only mod at this point would be to put on bigger wheels and tires but I don't know what would fit. Being only 20" wide, its a nice little compact unit that throws between 40 and 50 feet.

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
