I’ve got a private fully 2 mile long driveway, wonder how tough it would be to rig a good plow blade on one of those.
Looks like a fun winter trick.

Osky This one has had a 6 way blade on it at one time. Gone from the machine before my purchase but it is not uncommon for them to have blades.
Something clever here.

You'll be the go-to guy for hauling ice fishing shacks on & off the lake. What a beautiful machine.

I think the blowers were what the dragsters used on the hemi's to supercharge.

I think the blowers were what the dragsters used on the hemi's to supercharge. Borrowed from these original applications and applied to automotive racing, yes. The blowers that "gear heads" know as "471" "671" "871" are from detroit diesel 4-71, 6-71 and 8-71 engines. The first digit is for number of cylinders, second number is for cubic displacement per cylinder. The 8-71 detroit was a pretty big engine. Originally the blowers were carefully designed to be balanced with the air flow that the engines displaced, the idea was not to create "boost", it was to evacuate the spent air and gasses from the engine without having those aditional cycle strokes that a 4 cycle engine would have. In automotive applications, the 471 blower is a "cute blower" that works well on a mild small block V8. 671 more typical for a serious small block and more commonly in big blocks. 871? You need a big V8 and it's not for grocery runs any more.

I am surprised at how much less there is to the inside of the track drive/carrier than I would have expected.

Dave you are one awesome dude. I immediately thought of the movie "The Shining!" Your posts are some of the best on the Fire.
I envy your skill with everything transportation! May you prosper, and be in health, even as your soul prospers!

My ex brother in law trucker called the old Detroit's converters, the converted Diesel fuel to noise.
They did a lot of work back when, rock crushers, conveyers, bulldozers, skidders, trucks, you name it.
