Oh man I need that! I could send my snow over to the neighbors yard! (Which is 3 football fields away). You know it means business when you have 2 motors and one operator.
Back in the late 60's I lived in the hills of southern Vermont. I had left with family for Christmas and came back to a small mountain of snow in my driveway, too much for a plow mounted on my International Scout (I had backed the Scout into the garage with the plow on prior to leaving). I knew a guy with a large snowblower that he mounted on one of the original Wagoneers. He found the power mounted on the snowblower insufficient so had modified it by mounting a SBC where the rear seats had been, took out the windshield and had a driveshaft going past his right arm, thru the windshield opening, over the hood to the front mounted snow blower. This was all pre OSHA! It could not eat thru the plowed up mass of snow at the end of the driveway. I had to hire a front end loader. I wish I had a picture of his rig!
Back in the 80's, our county road dept. had (2) '42 Sno-Go's for sale at their surplus auction. They had brought them here from Moses Lake, WA where they were used to clear the runways at the old Air Force Base. One was in running condition and the other had a blown engine. I bid up to $375 against a neighbor for the broken one, and quit at that point - he got it for $400 and spent big money installing a SBC and several upgrades. For the next couple years we never had more than 6 inches of snow, and the neighbor got rid of it. The one that ran was sold to a fruit company near Mt. Adams for around $1150. It's probably still in that area. - Bob
I really like the triple auger. It would be nice to replace the rear gas engine with a diesel. They do so much better blowing in deep snow. Lots of bottom end grunt.
