  • have u ever ran into problems with the wind blowing snow into the air filter?

  • @dukesroc01 Yes, but it has not plugged up so far. Got tired of the wearing ear protection to run it so I put a stack and mufler on it this weekend. At leat I can blow snow a 10:00pm and not get the stink eye from the neighbors now.

  • Dig around online. There is a few manufactures that make cylinder air cooled diesels. Hatz, Lombardini, Yanmar, and Kohler come to mind. They are quite spendy though, I was luck enough to get mine for free. Needed a cylinder head.

  • Have you thought about rigging up some sort of transmission to drive the wheels?

  • They are driven through the factory ariens 4 speed

  • about now I would pay to own that thing, we have been getting hammered with snow, but that sounds like a gas powered snow blower not a diesel

  • Yeah, the sound from the straight pipe drounds out he diesel knock now. If you watch the video from last year befor I put the turbo on you can really hear it.

  • TORQUE MONSTER!!!!

  • How much boost does it make when you hit the heavy snow? Also what turbo did you put on it?

  • That thing is awesome! Id leave it, you'll just blow it up

  • Ever thought about putting a starter on it? would make life easier starting it.

  • Boost is good even on a snowblower!

  • 3 degrees, celcius or farenheit?
