That is a cool project. Do you think the driveshaft need a carrier bearing?

 

[Lea]

Roger
No the only bearing I need is at front, I have put about four hours on it now and it runs perfect

Just realized I didn't get pictures for you, my apologies for that but I see you are making out ok looks good. If there is any info you need don't hesitate to ask, now that the snow has slowed up I can get more done.

Looks good, Lea,
when you get a chance later, let us know where and how much those gear boxs were,
and how you did the shaft etc, etc etc.:thumbsup:

Here is more pics of finished blower. This blower is a 66" Farm King that I bought new for $1950 and then mounted on the front, all together I have around $3200 invested in the blower and the cab. The big blower is one put together last winter only to find auger was bent , I vibe rated so much I couldn't use it .

I bought my gear boxes and most every thing else at surplus centre , they r clockwise rotation both of them and 1/1ratio since a snowblower turns counter clock wise and the rear pto turn clock wise u want your shaft out the front turning clock wise this will make the snowblower turn counter clockwise which is what u want. They cost around $145 apiece and I got all the shaft ends and couplers from them to, the had everything I need.

Lea, on my MAC all of them are upside down including the ones you posted in Build-It-Yourself (STEAM JENNY). I can't get them to be right side up either. Stanley

Odd, the previews are upside down for me, but the actual pictures are right side up...
Looking forward to pictures of how the front 3 point is setup as I have had thoughts of dong this on one of our Kubotas (probably the L3830 as it doesn't currently have anything to do in the winter).

Maybe somebody can explain to me what I'm doing wrong.. On my iPad the pictures come out full page and right side up?????

What happens is that old digital cameras stored the picture so that it was "right side up" based on the gravity sensor in the camera, this takes extra time to save as the picture is taken "upside down" or "sideways", then re-saved "right side up".
On the new cameras, the picture is taken with the "eye" and stored the way it was seen by the "eye" regardless of how the camera was oriented. It then adds an EXIF tag (the digital equivalent of a note) saying "the right side of this picture is actually the bottom". This means that the camera doesn't have to re-save the picture again and its ready to take another picture a little bit faster.
The photo viewer in your iPad knows to read that "note" and flip the picture "right side up" when displaying it (as does Firefox), but some other browsers or photo viewers ignore the note and display the picture as it was saved.

They load right side up for me on a PC.

Do you plan on using the this setup to run anything else like a brush hog?

 

[skyhook]

Don't worry about it too much, Lea,
I just save them and re-turn them, thanks again for the info.:thumbsup:

I guess I should explain why I didn't use the front pto, the reason being that it is a smaller shaft, turns at 1000 rpm and turns the wrong way, it already turns ccw which would mean the snowblower would turn cw and the have to run ccw.and need to run at 540rpm

I have a long pto shaft that is made to run from the rear of the tractor to the front when using a front mounted rear-driven snowblower. I also have two standard pto shafts that go with it to make it work. All the shafts are dirty but unused. The long shaft needs to be freed up from sitting a long time in a barn.

I didn't need these shafts when mounting a snowblower to the front of my tractor as it has a front 540 pto.

I am located in the Pacific Northwest. PM me for details if interested.

I see it upside down also.

 

[fordkub]

Upside down for me two. But no big deal just turn the lap top around. Nice set up by the way.
