Wheelbearing 49 #1 Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry no video but here is a still. This is the GX690 Honda. The limiting factor now is the clutch and belt. The motor never slows down. so you either smell burning belt or the squeal of the clutch slipping. Or a little of both. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,185 #2 Posted January 6, 2014 That is a really nice setup. Two stage blower and cab. Im jealous. Could your pto need adjusted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clem 28 #3 Posted January 6, 2014 Looks better than stock! Do you have a pic of the right side? I'm putting a 690 on my 417a & using the vhrm6 muffler. This requires some work for clearance, but the left side looked great like your pic does. For now, I chose the easy way out by putting a "lift kit" on the hood. The vhrm6 muffler has some serious brace/mount braket in place that I just didn't want to modify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #5 Posted January 6, 2014 I was looking at the short video of the shoot mechanism. Did you fabricate that? Looks sweeeet. Must operate like a dream. Great setup. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelbearing 49 #8 Posted January 7, 2014 That is a really nice setup. Two stage blower and cab. Im jealous. Could your pto need adjusted? Pto is adjusted down pretty hard. I might take the clutch apart and knock down the glaze with an aggressive scotch bright on an air grinder. Something does need to slip though!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This muffler is from northern tool. item # 601099 I didn't want to cut my hood so I cut the muffler and extended the two small tubes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelbearing 49 #10 Posted January 7, 2014 The new chute design works very well. Heavy snow build up slows it down a little bit. This is a picture when I was dry fitting everything with out paint and covers. Even with a cover on a little water froze in the motor when I left it outside after blowing that day. Brought it back inside works fine. Not having a turn stop is Very nice!!! I can blow snow to the left or right almost directly behind me nice for tight spaces. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I especially like how you extended the muffler out so as not to cut the hood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
