Figgured I'd roll the dice on this Marketplace antique Snow Blower attachment.

    Canada makes the BEST snow blowers! Nice fab work in getting that beast breathing again.

    I recommend 3 things... 1- have a roof over the tractor, 2- have a battery tender on the tractor, 3- park forward so you can immediately start blowing the snow instead of running over it first...😀
  • That was definitely worth it for the price you paid for it. Seems to work very well for an old snowblower!

    I love finding stuff like this. There are so many ingenious people out there solving problems in the most incredible ways. It almost looks like they modified a the chute from a haybine that blows the chopped hay into a wagon. You should try and find out more about Smyth welding and if anyone is still around. Great find my friend. Add a set of bogie wheels that roll on the ground so you can drop it and it won't drag.Make sure you cap that dry gas as it will pick up water from the air.
  • That is a unique design with the huge drum for the impeller sticking up above the top of the blower so much, it does make sense as the auger is not loading the top 1/3 of the impeller. I cannot wait to see the blower in some real snow
  • Nice set up for snow. Can’t wait to see it work with a good amount of snow.

    The better snowblowers from the same time were Nuhn blowers and they had an 9 inch ford rearend in the middle of the auger. They where made about 2 miles from me in Wartburg! LOL what a great name for a village.
  • I just found your channel I am from west Tennessee got out of school in 1977 and like to work on old stuff. And now that I retired have lots of time
  • @1teddy1979
    That thing has a massive fan for the size of the blower

    My Allis D17 iced up real bad during that same blizzard last year. I made a heat shield out of a beer can to retain some heat so I could finish moving snow. That only happens when the humidity in the air is just right!
  • Hello, nice tractor, it appears to be a to30 it does not look like a 35 because is 30 still had a Tip-Up hood and the MF35 had a door on the top like the Ford did. I have a to20 and a to30 and I should be able to get to work on him again when I can walk a little better. I had some help health issues that put me down for the last year. The Ferguson is the best tractor in that size, much better than the equivalent Ford of that era, until Ford went to the Jubilee they finally caught up. The N series were good but the Flathead Fords we're just not for me. You may not know this but the three-point hitch is actually called the Ferguson system. He invented it.Thanks for the video I enjoyed that snowblower that you bought. Best regards Bob from Virginia USA

    I think you need to adjust the carburetor air fuel ratio ,the big needle adjuster,thumb screw. If I remember 1 and one half turns out to start keep going a little at at time like one quarter at at time . When you need more gas your lean.
  • A free tip for those who plow or blow their driveways themselves, install a "Smart Battery Charger/Maintainer" on your equipment. This small charger will maintain your battery at its maximum charge at all times, and is equipped with a quick connector. They sell for between $50 and $90 at Canadian-Tire or Walmart, but they are definitely worth the cost.

    They don't build em like they used too! This vid is really blowing up. Congrats!!! Keep up the good work!
  • @jercalder
    Sick find. I’m excited for a good 30+ cm snow fall to see this blower chug along.
  • Nice old tractor. 35’s are a great machine. Carb frosted up. Need to get some heat from the exhaust manifold to warm the carburetor. My old TEA20 Ferguson frosts the carb too. No snow in PEI, yet. Hehe. Nice to have the hi low range transmission. Some plugs and wires may help her run better.
  • You have a vacuum leak or your carb is lean. Check for a vacuum leak and if you can not find one adjust your carb if you can. You have to remember that that tractor only had 32 HP when new.
