Subject: (ET) Loader Bucket!
I know this probably isn?t a good
time to bring this up with the most of you back in the land of winter weather,
but here goes. I have been toying with the idea of converting my snow
blower over to a loader bucket arrangement. I have not had the need to
use this for snow removal as I get a light dusting at best here in California, so it has
sat in the corner taking up space. Last weekend I pulled it out and
started to remove items from it like the screw and motor assembly. I
have also cut most of the supporting braces off of the unit along with the
shoot. Now when I turn the unit over with the scoop opening on the
bottom it does indeed start to look like a usable bucket. I am going to
cut it down from its 44 inch size to 36 inch size and then weld the two halves
together along with some additional metal plate on the ends so that it can
pivot. I will then modify the original support arms to hold the bucket
and pivot it on its new axis. Probably will look into getting a small
electric hydraulic ram for the movements etc.
Has anyone else modified a snow
blower in this fashion?
Thanks,
