thmsdoyle Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Designed my adapter chute fabricated it. The chute does have a curved diverter plate inside the chute to up feed clippings toward chute. My initial test run was about 20 minutes sucking up wet leaves. Worked well, I'm sure some gremlins will pop as I use it more. Now to decide what to do for my trailer collection portion of the project Here a few pics of the vacuum work I have done, hope you enjoy, I had a great time fabrication it up. THanks TOm 1
fishnwiz Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Very nice fabrication work. Did you change blades to a high lift design in order to get enough push on the clippings to lift them into the rear bags?
thmsdoyle Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 It does have higher left blades on it. The vacuum seems to pull debris out of chute nicely. 1 1
macallis180 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 The vac seems to be quite powerful. I had a boot built from my cardboard mockup (doesn't have a flow diverter in it) and still works well. Wish I was as handy as Thomas. The boot I had built by a local HVAC shop cost me about $55.00, but the vac I bought was worthless without it!
