    Into a snow blower >^!

    That's very good news, about the older models! I'm after longevity and reliability so a modestly upgraded engine that's capable of 350+ hp running at only 2200 or sometimes 3200 would be bulletproof. I think the 'LMM at most' came to me from a group I know are adapting it for airplane use...

    Thanks, not an obstacle but I gotta know AND I have a lot to learn. How about the higher models after LMM are they just as useable with relative ease?

    come on boyzzz, I asked some questions & need answers because a week ago I didn't even know if duramax was wrestler or a new dance ...or is this just durapinkpantyhose.org...? A metric-shit ton of snow? YES that too but what it really is is that at 72 I still haven't learned how to sit on my...

    ever try to hit a feather with a baseball bat? "imho" your blower is begging for more snow bigger impeller, less rpm, torque seems 'adequate' :-)

    time to up the torque and go on a mailbox rampage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsgvwMYn0N0 Question: the exact lateral load permitted on a pulley bolted to the flywheel? The belt is a Gates toothed model with very little static tension (unlike V-belts). The current engine puts out maybe...
