Not a barrel stove EL Cam but does look like one.... actually a commercially made stove made in a small town here in WI. Don't know if they still in business. Kinda like a barrel within a barrel. I got it years ago in a tear out and other than a few grates been really good. Wouldn't be a good pic but I can work out there in my skivvies when it's -10 out! Did get a little snow this weekend to try it out! Gotta do something (extend) with the chute crank tho...real PITA reaching through the zippered opening and when its lifted dang near rips the clear plastic below it and impossible to turn. Would like to convert it to a tall shoot with the left side worm gear. as the cable thing jams up and not good in the slushy stuff. Anyone who has a short chute knows what I am sayin! Not going to do too much with it as I have a two stage that is eventually going on. Have to go check out @JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 's thread on lighting as well! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #33 Posted December 6, 2016 Glenn, the newer tall chute single has the chute worm gear on the right side (sitting on the tractor) and I made a crank extension for the single and now use it on the 2stage for getting it back inside the cab,Jeff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,670 #37 Posted December 7, 2016 Glenn can you run that without weights or chains? I wouldn't have a prayer with mine without out those two items. I'd pretty much just sit there and spin... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't have a prayer with mine without out those two items. I'd pretty much just sit there and spin... I have not used it yet, I am just setting it up for the first time. I just put the wheel weights on tonight. I am having Tom make a hitch for me to ad more weight. The chains will be the last to go on. The past 4 years I always needed weights and chains on my other wheel horse snowblower setups. You just happened to see the pictures with the tractor not done yet, also I am doing the cab lights tomorrow. It is a BEAST. Cant wait to try it.

PeacemakerJack 10,670 #40 Posted December 7, 2016 Glenn that is one sharp looking setup! I can wait to see some pics and video of that thing in action. I know that I really was impressed with mine even though I only got to use it a couple of times last winter. The only thing I need is a cab!!!! Of course if I get one setup, I'll want to stay in there all day and clear the neighborhood! I like the look with the black attachment... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Idea...looks like you just had your drive way seal coated and they will leave marks if not careful. Keep us posted on those lights as I need to upgrade mine to leds. The ones I have sink the voltmeter too much & the ones on the front are useless when the blower is raised. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are the lights installed on the cab. If you go to the electric section where I started the cab Light thread you can read on these, inexpensive, 18 watts, 1800 lumens low profile led.

PeacemakerJack 10,670 #43 Posted December 8, 2016 I'm a big fan of LED lighting in general but to me it seems that it really finds a home on GT applications. If good LED's are used, they are very bright and a great source of light but unlike their incandescent or halogen counterparts they reduce the draw on the electrical system greatly. I put those VLEDS headlight bulbs in my 523 and I don't regret it for a minute. Whenever I do get a cab set up that is definitely what will go on there like you did Glenn. Good call! I also like how streamlined those lights look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Dave, it came off a GT22 new holland with the 2 stage, I am guessing but it has to be a Original Cab Company product. It sure has all the earmarks of one. Thanks.

Don't mean to hijack your post just want to offer you some more information I posted some info and link to my cab modifications on your post in the electrical section. Here's a picture of my setup. You will have more than enough light. Original tractor lighting is disconnected . I also have a small 18 W on the rear that is connected to my reverse switch. Only comes on when I push on the reverse peddle. Also included a picture of my control panel. Let me know if you want details.
