RayS Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 I got this 42 inch snow blower for free and it was made for a 300 series Allis Chalmers. The housing the hitch mounts to was to short to work on my 917H so I had to lenghten it by 4 inches and make some other brackets as well. I got all the measurements to lenghten it from a friend and am about to the point of trying it out. I will need to pick up a belt for it tomorrow. It`s amazing what you can do with a sawzall (reciprocating saw). Hopefully it will quit raining by the time I get it done. Will post more pictures as I get it done. I used this piece of 2 X 6 steel tubing for the metal to lenghten the blower.
MPH Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Nice fab work Ray. Hope your rain turns white so you can test it out soon.
Jason Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Hi Nice work so far Ray!, I am looking forward to seeing it in action on your AC 917H. MPH: Yeah, I am also hoping it turns back to snow up here as well, it started raining again after I was done blowing on Friday, and now the snow is melting again. Take Care Jason B
comet66 Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Nice piece of work that should do just fine.
MDB Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Very nice work there, great way to put an offbrand piece equipment to use.
RayS Posted December 25, 2005 Author Posted December 25, 2005 Thanks guys for the compliments. Roy, I have a 210 amp Lincoln mig welder.
AGCO918 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Look like you did a nice job on the welding.Glad to see someone can adapt to use another model of tractor instead of scraping out to the junkman.
