Firing up my home made Chevy V8 diesel 6,2 L snow blower for the first time.
See the Snowblower in ACTION: [ Ссылка ]
I got this engine from a friend of mine some years ago. Original the engine comes from a Chevrolet Suburban, and it had some years in a Chevy Van. It had bad compression.
I opened it up, repaired it, painted it and decided to make a real fat massive snowblower :)
A hydraulic pump is driven from the engine with a belt, a hydraulic motor is connected to a little diff from a Subaru Justy. From there it is chains from a Honda 750 connected to the wheels. Stepless moving forward, reverse and totally brake in neutral.
The blower is driven from a belt direct from the crankshaft. The total weight is about 600 kg.
With chains on the wheels, it has real good traction.
I am going to make a video of it moving snow. Where I live there is too little snow and because of the noise of the engine running 3-4000 rpm I need to find a place where there’s few people :)
To get away all doubt: It is a 6,2 L V8 diesel, it has no distributor, no carburettor or electronic fuel injection. Only mechanic fuel injection, diesel pipes and wires for the glow plugs.
And the most important of it all:
I have had a lot of fun making it :)
