Only someone that lives in a place where a snowthrower is used
would have enough time to make one!

I just had my driveway area done by a guy in a huge JD tractor
and an 8 foot wide blower!

It's cheaper than owning and maintaining your own.

Very nice job on the 2 stage thrower, the auger is a piece
of art. It looks like the real thing, which is also not
a solid screw as the snow would tend to bunch up.

They hollow screw shape breaks up chunky snow or ice very
effecively.

Well done!

The fan that trows the snow out is a little hard to see, but on the picture
from below its getting a little more clear. (How can I zoom in when taking
snapshots in LDraw??)

The next thing now is to deside if this is a small thing with only two
wheels that you steers with your hands, like most of us around here where I
live has. Or I should mount a truck behind it. They all look alike, its only
the size that differs. The two-wheeled ones is about 1m -1.2m wide. The
large one mounted on a truck or a tracktor can be up to 4m wide in real
life...

I vote for a BIG tractor driving this one!

  A working snowblower...
 
As I promised earlier, here are pictures of the working snowblower. But I'm sorry that I dont have real pictures of the thing since I still don't have a digital camera. I should also liked to have a video of it when it was working out in the snow :) (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
