2 Stage Blower setup on a 418 C

Recommended Posts

wallfish

Here's another winter setup. The blower came from Stevebo in the spring so I haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet. Coles Dad ( Kevin ) down in Jersey hooked me up with the cab. It's the nice one with a glass windshield, electric wiper and a flashing light. I also added the "Duke features" for controlling the chute. Not quite as nice but I just used what I had and bought the cheap actuator. It's a little slow since it's a 24v model and it's only a 4" travel but only $32, compared to the $85 one I really wanted. The electric window motor turns the chute a nice quick speed.

John,

With that beast plus your loader, there won't be anything mother nature can dish out that you won't be able to handle!

Very nice job indeed! :thumbs: Man, I gotta say "that thing looks like it means business." :) Are any of those motorized blower modifications documented anywhere here on the forum? I also know I've seen someone mention a heater for the cab somewhere too, but can't seem to find it now. Has that modification been documented as well? I'd love to see how that's accomplished. :wh: :)

Horsefixer, aka Duke, did the thread for both.

Duke snuck his post in while I was typing

I just found a cheap motor (less than $20) to try out for the chute rotation and ordered one. I am going to do a setup for a single stage as well. I had given away the rotation handle to a fellow member when I had another motor on the blower and now the old motor stopped working. I'll let you know how it works out.

Stevebo

I took it off the trailer with a hand truck and it never came off of it. I think a set of adjustable wheels is in order for the spring.

Hi guys, thanks for the links. :) Hopefully you will inspire another monster to evolve here too. Lots of reading to do first. Kinda apprehensive about all the wiring involved but I've got you guys to help me out with that. :thumbs:

Dam! looks great! Happy to see that its going to good use. My wife really liked the flashing light when I brought it home. Then proceeded to laugh her ass off when I sandwiched my 6 ' 7" body in there. Best of luck!!!
