  • Start to finish on a custom homemade tractor or ATV snowblower. If you have any questions as to how I did any thing, plz feel free to ask. There was a lot of retro fitting that’s not in the video. Hope you like it. If you do plz like and subscribe. Thanks.

    Just spent a half hour studying every photo. I’m an ASE certified master mechanic who now translates industrial technical manuals. I’m extremely impressed with what you accomplished: concept, design, welding, mechanicals, torque prevention/protection, clever use of available materials, fit & finish, and your determination to finish the project, including the last 10% that seems to take 90% of the time and effort. The world’s a better place with people like you in it! All the best from an Upstate New Yorker living in Sweden.

      BenJammin, might be the best compliment I’ll ever get. Really appreciate it. Not all people recognize the time and effort put in, or how deep the process goes. Again thx.

      AWESOME My dad was very much like you he would put a lot of time and effort into his own ideas rather than going out and buying everything.

      as you say, it's a very refined project for somebody that is not involved in engineering and fabrication, as you say too, the attention dedicated to the finition is very impressive,
      the only point I see at glance that will need refinement is the engine power as the demo is done on free snow, on heavy / wet snow, the engine will be insufficient to clear the blower.

      Ok this guy just said at least everything that I came to say. I am a career welder fabricator in the business of custom fabrication of basically anything a person would walk into my shop to talk about. Just a couple days ago I was considering a project of this nature with the very same Bolens single stage blower I have for my Bolens H 14. Reason is that the fixed speed of the Bolens pto is too slow to blow in a single stage design. Cudos for an excellently planned and executed project. If I were still in business I would try to hire you. I would like to hear your thinking and decision in regaurds to gearing ratios and auger speed. It seems to throw the snow really well. I wish you would give us another video featuring it in action more. Thanks for sharing a top grade project with us. Dan

    As an ASE certified technician and a Mechanical Engineer, I have to say Well done!. This is the first time I have watched a home build video that didn't make me want to yell at the screen. It was well thought out, the welds weren't made of bubble gum. You had to forethought to put a clutch on the Auger drive. I especially like that you took the time to do it right the first time(weather sealed boxes, nicely painted, hell even custom decals) it wasn't just cobbled together. Nice work.

      worst song ever. 11 horse to a single stage is impressive. a john deere 140 14 horse garden tractor from the 60's could be equipped with a 42 inch ss snowblower but it barely throws half as far while it is screaming. i reckon the tractor takes more than 3 horsepower to make the wheels turn.

    It is definitely well worth $1,500 for all the time and effort you have put into this “sno-ver kill” blower you have made! I think most people would buy this just for the fact that it was hand made from a great craftsman like you! Well done!

    I can appreciate everything you did to make that project work. Smart to have a separate power unit on the blower. Smart to be able to direct the snow to where you want it, or to keep going with the wind and not in your face. Hardwired remote for all functions and the whole thing articulates separate from the tractor. I just love your concept on this one!😁😎👍✊

  • @iseesea6517
    @iseesea6517 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seems like lots of people are so impressed you did all this, and you’re not some fancy, papered, ticketed engineer or master mechanic. Your workmanship and quality attention to small detail are excellent to be sure! I’m very impressed with what you’ve accomplished, but I’m not impressed at all that you were able to do this. You’re obviously brilliant and incredibly skilled, so of course, once you’re mind was set to the task you made it happen. Papers and tickets mean nothin in my world. There’s all kinds of engineers who are so daft they couldn’t install a door handle, or design one that works. Some are brilliant, many are not.
    You sir, have proved your genius with the work of your hands!

    Outstanding work and craftsmanship I am a 57 year old retired nuclear machinist. I am kinda new to the utube community and this has to be the BEST hands down video I've seen of a quality build on utube thus far. I've made steam engines and hit and miss engines from scratch but I would have loved to have helped you out with this, I tell you I would have been happy as a pig in mud to have had a hand in building this with you. The name of the unit is perfect too thanks for sharing this with us I truly appreciated it and your hard work.

    I can appreciate the amount of planning. I worked on replacing a water tank on my RV. I'm a cabinetmaker but no gearhead. It took 10 days to take things apart and to keep digging out rot. to finish the repair was 3 months. Everything I did had to be planned so as not to foul up or cover something else needing attention but not done yet.

    I'm not an engineer or ASE certified, but I do work on this stuff for a living (and have for several years) and this is very likely the most solid snow blower I've seen that would be considered a "reasonable build".
    Everytime I would think "but he didnt" about something, the next photo would come up and it was addressed. Bravo!

It works great the once a year (maybe) I get to use it here in a suburb of Portland Oregon. With that said, I'm very impressed with your finished project. Great job! I love seeing old Bolens things being brought back to use.

  • @charlietuna5962
    @charlietuna5962 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW, just wow! $350, 180 although a lot, is fair for design/implementing/find error/redesign. I'd bet the manufacturers have more than that into a redesign of a previous model they've already built! Plus their gauge steel and welds can't compete. Your improvements like power turn tilt and toss, the winch lift, and dolly wheels to counter the jack wheels. Dude, your incredible, and if I ever see this thing I'm stopping to jump out of the truck and hug you for your awesomeness!
    Don't worry about the haters, only single stage, hate that song, blah blah blah..... For a first post, it's excellent, especially since the build it was based on was a self designed beyond impressive mother of a beast! MOST EXCELLENT, and I hope you live nearby!

    Awesome build. Tons of great ideas. My appreciation for you sharing will be visible when I acknowledge a few of your designs that I'm surely gonna use on my build. A 2003 crewcab s10 on solid axles front and rear. With a divorced transfer driving the truck and the stock transfer driving a hydraulic system. I hate disassembly + paint and finish lol. But it sure does show of the workmanship. Or at least it allows less mechanically educated viewers to appreciate your craftsmanship. It came out rad. I'd be proud as heck to blow my driveway and all my neighbors drives with her. I bet you start snow blowing when your weather guy says it gonna snow. For me thats every morning during our winter months. Stay out the box my friend. True visionary.
