Stopping winter in its tracks.

Bought a engine to put on a snow blower I saved from a scrap pile. Ended up putting it on my wood splitter instead with the badly running B/S engine.



Little Harbor Freight 212cc  6.5 hp engine so impressed me I went and got another for that snow blower.

Cleared deck.


Shafts match up perfect.


Side view looks good with new belts too.


Rear view looks good also.


Had to lower the crank for the chute rotation to clear the Hemi valve cover.



Removed the chute so I could get at the impeller to install a kit. Should throw snow at least 30 feet.


Now that I can split wood with out busting a gut. it is going to be warm this winter so I won't have to burn much wood.

Since I fixed a snow blower up we won't get snow so I can play with the blower.

Now that sir is impressive.   Can't believe how many people who woulda just bought new ones.

Person who sat the snow blower out has a fella with a truck to plow his drive now.

Just like brand new.
I've heard some say it's an El nino year and will be a mild winter, and then I hear some forecasters says it's going to be a crazy cold and snowy one because of El nino. 

Looks like your good either way

Kind of figured I had it covered any way it goes. Is 20F above normal now. Fire arm deer season starts on the 15th.

One year I hunted the first week in blue jeans and T shirt.

I think I remember that year too. I was in my teens and we had to wear orange. All I had was an orange winter suit. I was stark naked inside it. lol

Set a new record high yesterday of 79F. Weather people are saying a new record possible again today. Sure not a Normal weather pattern for deer season.
