buddy said he saw a furnace squirrel cage setup on the front of a garden tractor. i wonder if you could make one up on a simplicty/Allis useing a love joy coupler off the crankshaft or a snowblower hitch W/belt setup. good idea i guess if you could get the correct speed.

Should be pretty easy, funny, I just finished making an air cleaner dust collector for the garage with one of those, an electric motor some plywood and a furnace filter.

Looks like a New Holland. Great idea:p I have one of those blowers in my garage positioned above the attic door for smoke/fume evacuation. Works like a charm. Why didn't I think of that...

I use one in my paint booth. It will suck the man door of my shop closed. Lots of air movement. It keeps the 12 x 24 shop fairly clear of overspray and fumes.

I have a small one in the rafters above the wood stove, to move warm air to the other end of the building. Also insulated the rafters in such a manner to direct the heat back down at the other end :D:D I also have a larger portable one that I use wherever for moving cool air in the summer, or removing smoke or fumes as necessary. I guess I could call that one an "extra" to try it with. :O:O

Perry, I bet you could easily do a front mount version with a Love Joy. Set it up on a dozer hitch, and simply lift into position to have the lovejoy connect. Your lift could be your engagement, as long as you engage and disengage while the engine is off. A blower hitch would be nicer yet...and it would be very easy to maneuver up front.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
