    I'd love to, but something like that wouldn't fit in my garage. I'd have to wait till next year when I get a shed.

    You could always put a plow on the vette. I bet there is enough power in that to push some snow around.

    Just beef up whatever air guides under the front bumper, that things probably low enough to push all kinds of snow. Get some snow tires for the back and you'll be set!:D

    LOL! I have a friend who's interested in the motor. I guess it's time to go shopping for a new snowblower. Thanks for the response.

    Get a machine in the 7+ HP range with a 24" bucket. I wouldn't buy new--a properly maintained snowblower is a 40-year purchase and the older ones are usually similar to the super-pro models the companies currently sell. I'd recommend an '80s-90s Ariens ST824, a '90s+ Simplicity 760 or 860, or a '90s+ Toro 724 or 824.

    Small frame machines like my Toro 724 are OK, but they're fiarly lightweight and limited.

    Avoid store brands or low-end makes like MTD, AYP, Husqvarna, Troy-Bilt, etc. Also avoid machines too old or obscure to still have parts support. Hahn Eclipse, Lambert, and the like.
