The custom 42 >inch, two-stage auger has a Chevrolet 10 bolt truck differential with spool and >a centrifugal auger clutch with shear pin protection, further adding to the >image of this "automotive theme blower." As each unit is custom-built, optional >extras for the snow blower are both diverse and outrageous as the base unit - >there is unlimited auger choices from single to multi stage designs and various >motor combinations to suit the religious preferences of the customer (Chevy, >Dodge Hemi, Ford); and such exotica as a V-10 or a diesel engine or remote >starting can be accommodated. And if, after a while, you feel you've outgrown >the 400 horses, this particular engine is well catered for in the performance >modification area, with Lunati camshaft, Milodon Gear drive, Holley and >Edelbrock components to name a few; and there's always the fuel injection option >too, if you feel you need to throw the snow out of the county or ensure your >seat in the "neighborhood blower blingster hall of fame." > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
