The guy that built that contraption nickname is Wrong Way. Must say it is interesting to say the least.

Plenty of air / snow circulation around the rear wheel steering assembly? :-)

Air cooled battery too!

Reminds me of solar powered windshield wipers!

Was this a Photoshop prank?

They didn't its a modified wheel horse. Apparently someone didn't like a wheel horse that worked correctly.

It doesn't matter. With all that weight over the drive wheels, it's not stopping.

Not to mention maneuvering should be quite improved. I live it!!!

Anyone know if there are other pictures of the other side to see the belt routing etc...

I wonder what it would be like backing up a hill with the thrower raised. :scratchead:

Other than that, it seems like a :wicked: ingenious creation. :handgestures-thumbup:

I wonder if it will actually throw snow. In my mind the thrower would be turning the opposite way of normal? But then again its been a long day my brain is tired so I could be wrong.

Looks like the drive belt is powering the other end of the jackshaft, and a simple rerouting of the chain will fix the rotation direction issue.

Getting used to the location and operation of the hydro lever would take some doing. Remembering reverse is 7mph would be another.

Interesting using a C-1X5 hood stand with a C-1X1 or C-1X0 hood whoever did it had lots of spare parts lying around.

Looks like a poor man's version of a Steiner. They both have big front ends anyway.

You could do it TT's way or just put the blower chain on backwards, that should make the blower impeller rotate the opposite direction. JK
