Converting snowblower from 3pt to front attach

For another idea for the driveline, check out "Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook". Your library should have a copy.

There is an interesting way of coupling offset shafts in there...It's even on the cover of the second edition...it involves a disk on each end of the shafts that you want to connect, with an intermediate disk connected to each with 3 bars. I know this description makes no sense until you see the picture, but it will help you find it in the book. I've used this arrangement to couple shafts that move in relation to each other...the real challenge in your case would be the safety guard!

I agree with others that hydraulics are really the way to make this work...have you tried watching E-bay for the parts you need?

Hi Ed,

From one MTU engineer to another, happy belated welcome to TBN /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif!

I graduated with a BSCE in 1986. The snow finally melted away at the end of May just before graduation.

Do you make any trips down to the hilltop bakery near L'Anse? They used to have cinamen rolls that were the size of a grapefruit on steroids /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I ate 2 once and thought I would be going to the hospital.

Keep up the good work, and give my best to those HUSKIES!
