Just spent a half hour studying every photo. I’m an ASE certified master mechanic who now translates industrial technical manuals. I’m extremely impressed with what you accomplished: concept, design, welding, mechanicals, torque prevention/protection, clever use of available materials, fit & finish, and your determination to finish the project, including the last 10% that seems to take 90% of the time and effort. The world’s a better place with people like you in it! All the best from an Upstate New Yorker living in Sweden.
BenJammin, might be the best compliment I’ll ever get. Really appreciate it. Not all people recognize the time and effort put in, or how deep the process goes. Again thx.
as you say, it's a very refined project for somebody that is not involved in engineering and fabrication, as you say too, the attention dedicated to the finition is very impressive, the only point I see at glance that will need refinement is the engine power as the demo is done on free snow, on heavy / wet snow, the engine will be insufficient to clear the blower.
Ok this guy just said at least everything that I came to say. I am a career welder fabricator in the business of custom fabrication of basically anything a person would walk into my shop to talk about. Just a couple days ago I was considering a project of this nature with the very same Bolens single stage blower I have for my Bolens H 14. Reason is that the fixed speed of the Bolens pto is too slow to blow in a single stage design. Cudos for an excellently planned and executed project. If I were still in business I would try to hire you. I would like to hear your thinking and decision in regaurds to gearing ratios and auger speed. It seems to throw the snow really well. I wish you would give us another video featuring it in action more. Thanks for sharing a top grade project with us. Dan
I'm a tool and die maker, with 40 years of working at it, but you never ever stop being one. This is a well thought out and intelligently executed project. It warms my 75 year old heart to see this blower succeed in spades. My hat is off to you young man, don't ever lose your passion.
As an ASE certified technician and a Mechanical Engineer, I have to say Well done!. This is the first time I have watched a home build video that didn't make me want to yell at the screen. It was well thought out, the welds weren't made of bubble gum. You had to forethought to put a clutch on the Auger drive. I especially like that you took the time to do it right the first time(weather sealed boxes, nicely painted, hell even custom decals) it wasn't just cobbled together. Nice work.
Seems like lots of people are so impressed you did all this, and you’re not some fancy, papered, ticketed engineer or master mechanic. Your workmanship and quality attention to small detail are excellent to be sure! I’m very impressed with what you’ve accomplished, but I’m not impressed at all that you were able to do this. You’re obviously brilliant and incredibly skilled, so of course, once you’re mind was set to the task you made it happen. Papers and tickets mean nothin in my world. There’s all kinds of engineers who are so daft they couldn’t install a door handle, or design one that works. Some are brilliant, many are not. You sir, have proved your genius with the work of your hands!
I have the exact same tractor. Bought a used single stage blower that didn’t fit. Was going to just get rid of it until now. You give fabricators a new level of motivation. Great work!!!
Very good build, this coming from a retired auto mechanic/technician who's built many things from scratch. I really think this snowblower you built is going to outlast your tractor. Incidentally, I was in The Home Depot today, we got 6 inches of snow on the ground here in Flint, Michigan, that started about 5 AM, the snowblower I looked at was priced at $1099.00, and not as well built as yours. Best of wishes with your "Sno-ver Kill", thanks for sharing the expertise.
It is definitely well worth $1,500 for all the time and effort you have put into this “sno-ver kill” blower you have made! I think most people would buy this just for the fact that it was hand made from a great craftsman like you! Well done!
Outstanding work and craftsmanship I am a 57 year old retired nuclear machinist. I am kinda new to the utube community and this has to be the BEST hands down video I've seen of a quality build on utube thus far. I've made steam engines and hit and miss engines from scratch but I would have loved to have helped you out with this, I tell you I would have been happy as a pig in mud to have had a hand in building this with you. The name of the unit is perfect too thanks for sharing this with us I truly appreciated it and your hard work.
I'm not an engineer or ASE certified, but I do work on this stuff for a living (and have for several years) and this is very likely the most solid snow blower I've seen that would be considered a "reasonable build". Everytime I would think "but he didnt" about something, the next photo would come up and it was addressed. Bravo!
That was one of the finest videos I have watched. Especially when you look at the price of these blowers. Please do more. I loved the music as well. Regards
This snowbpower is a work of art! .. It is so cool to see someone pulling all their years of experience and ingenuity into some little project and take it to this level where most anyone probably wouldve just gone to Walmart and bought a snowblower
What a PHENOMENAL JOB you did with this build!!! You’re a credit to back of a napkin design and garage tinkerer engineering everywhere!!! TOTALLY AWESOME ‼️😃
This thing Rocks! I love home engineers that can fabricate what they need or want. Awesome build! Now I have a bunch of ideas. Maybe some shop time for me is needed. You sir, are a genius!
I can appreciate the amount of planning. I worked on replacing a water tank on my RV. I'm a cabinetmaker but no gearhead. It took 10 days to take things apart and to keep digging out rot. to finish the repair was 3 months. Everything I did had to be planned so as not to foul up or cover something else needing attention but not done yet.
I have a Bolens Snow Caster for my 1969 Bolens 1220 Husky powered by a 12 HP Tecumseh. It is of course PTO powered and I do have the factory hydraulic lift. It works great the once a year (maybe) I get to use it here in a suburb of Portland Oregon. With that said, I'm very impressed with your finished project. Great job! I love seeing old Bolens things being brought back to use.
People like these are the ones making a difference in the world. Inventing and helping make a difference. Too bad probably 2% of the worlds population are as smart and skilled for improving.
That looked like so much fun to build ! My dad taught me to weld arc and gas when I was ten, I just love seeing what you can do with a little time and ingenuity. Beautiful job!
WOW, just wow! $350, 180 although a lot, is fair for design/implementing/find error/redesign. I'd bet the manufacturers have more than that into a redesign of a previous model they've already built! Plus their gauge steel and welds can't compete. Your improvements like power turn tilt and toss, the winch lift, and dolly wheels to counter the jack wheels. Dude, your incredible, and if I ever see this thing I'm stopping to jump out of the truck and hug you for your awesomeness! Don't worry about the haters, only single stage, hate that song, blah blah blah..... For a first post, it's excellent, especially since the build it was based on was a self designed beyond impressive mother of a beast! MOST EXCELLENT, and I hope you live nearby!
I've been using a 2 stage snow blower on my tractor for many years now. I'm sure you're happy with the results. Great job. Awesome build and price. Cheers.
worst song ever. 11 horse to a single stage is impressive. a john deere 140 14 horse garden tractor from the 60's could be equipped with a 42 inch ss snowblower but it barely throws half as far while it is screaming. i reckon the tractor takes more than 3 horsepower to make the wheels turn.
What a beast. I thought it was going to be too much for your tractor to handle but I was wrong. Good cure for keeping the tractors rear wheels on the ground when you raise the blower.
I can appreciate everything you did to make that project work. Smart to have a separate power unit on the blower. Smart to be able to direct the snow to where you want it, or to keep going with the wind and not in your face. Hardwired remote for all functions and the whole thing articulates separate from the tractor. I just love your concept on this one!😁😎👍✊
I enjoyed watching this build. I have thought about building this myself before the big snow and ice storm this weekend here in upstate SC. Well it was the thought that counts!
Im a mechanical engineer and i am seriously impressed. I was actually looking at Berco snowblower attachments for my ATV the other day and what you made for 350$ cost about 4-5000$ new. Awesome work my friend. Makes me want to go build something
This is fantastic! I am in process of trying to retrofit a 42 inch to my GT6000, 1985 Vintage. The blower I have uses a vertical pulley design and mine is a horizontal. Had it all lined up, looked like I could use the mounting holes in the frame. Had to take off the brake which I do not need anyway as I have an electric clutch and am going to rig the switch to shut off the clutch when I lift it. But now with a new belt the front tensioner pulley is hitting the front tensioner assembly of the tractor. Luckily no snow yet. Yours is simple to attach and take off. Mine not so much. Great job!
So cool you are a very gifted person. I wish I you lived near me so I could see the beast. I would love to talk to you about a lot of your build. You rock !
Man I love the way you build things, you dont "chince" out on wimpy steel and other components. Your paint work is exceptional as well. Wish you were my neighbor so you could build me one for my JD 318. The only complaint I have on the video is the music in the background. I know thats just my opinion as others on these comments prefer the exactly opposite. I simply would enjoy just hearing you narrate and also hearing the engine cranking out the white stuff.
Awesome build! I am considering doing something similar with an 8 foot blower,and 2+2 135 hp tractor. Converting from rear mount to front mount. Your ideas, on a much bigger scale. Got some great inspiration from you!
@@mikeadams2339 I have abandoned my front mount blower on the 2+2 for now. The steering system and length of the tractor would require too much lateral movement, in the front. I am still working on my blower project for the rear of the 2+2.
You did a very good job. I built one for my UTV, I have a baby 6’ blower that was on my 30 hp tractor, I’m using a 670cc Predator engine. The thing I did differently then you was, my engine was 4000 rpm, I geared down to 560 so to not overspin my blower, under load it is perfect. I have full range of my engine, and being geared down correctly it has full power at the blower. Like I said, my little tractor is 30hp but I think it is 20hp at the pto. So the 670cc was fine.
Awesome build. Tons of great ideas. My appreciation for you sharing will be visible when I acknowledge a few of your designs that I'm surely gonna use on my build. A 2003 crewcab s10 on solid axles front and rear. With a divorced transfer driving the truck and the stock transfer driving a hydraulic system. I hate disassembly + paint and finish lol. But it sure does show of the workmanship. Or at least it allows less mechanically educated viewers to appreciate your craftsmanship. It came out rad. I'd be proud as heck to blow my driveway and all my neighbors drives with her. I bet you start snow blowing when your weather guy says it gonna snow. For me thats every morning during our winter months. Stay out the box my friend. True visionary.
Hello, Very nice build. I really like the way you used cheap parts. It seems a little too thick steel for the motor mount/ chassis but it will last longer. I admire the fact you have had the patience to really finish it an make it look like new. Cheers from Belgium.
After watching the video and reading your update about retro fitting and fine tuning, I was impressed by your skill and devotion to your goal. Having dealt with many single stage snowblower attachments on lawn and garden tractors, leaving out the actual noise levels of the unit running leaves me with the impression that it must be extremely loud and noisy while running. Cranking up the RPM's of the rotating unit will get you the distance throwing the snow, but it will also cause a lot more wear to the entire drive system of chains and gearboxes that were never designed for that much speed. I'd be interested in the total $ cost for materials.
Very impressed to say the least. Only problem I see is that you're running two separate engines to do one job... but I guess that this is what you get with SNO-VER KILL 😉🤗😊
So happy I found this video! It was pure enjoyment from start to finish. Amazing job! I wish my pops was still around to see it. He was a machinists and fabricator and would have really appreciated your work.. Hope that machine serves you well.
Folks, what we have here is a man who has clearly had absolutely enough of winters shit, and decided to whoop ass, and take no names.. I salute you, friend.. This beers for you🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻....
If you can find a Truck,Plastic mud flap,Cut squares to tighten up the shoot Auger,Thing will shoot another 20 ft,And the cool part is the engine is a ,about Idle..Fantastic welding and all around craftsmanship!73
Beautiful work! I am collecting parts to build an 8' blower for my 77 Ford. It'll be 2 stage powered by a 13 hp Tecumseh. Not sure whether I will go with belt or hydraulic drive. I sure can't justify buying one especially with how pricey, flimsy, and poorly designed many of the available blowers are these days. I can get many of the parts from my boneyard and the scrap metal yard. The feeling of watching the snow fly from the comfort of my heated cab has been on my mind for many years.
Awesome.....my next project when I get my dream shop. Just converted an old Craftsman garden tractor blade to lift with small winch...need to do some fine tuning, like add weight to blade and angle ability and I'm set for this winter. But, this would be awesome.
John Dinnery , I built a plow the year before it’s on the tractor in the beginning of the vid, worked well but ran out of places to push the snow, used a winch and an 12v linear actuator for left and right. Good luck with yours.

As a non certified citizen I'm very impressed....looks like it can throw some snow.....nice work
Excellent fab skills! All that for $350 shows how resourceful you were. Great job, I enjoyed watching that.
Thats is the American Spirit that we all have. Cant find a good snow blower, Ill make my own. great job

An Amazing build....Cudo's to your attention to detail and your skills as a fabricator. I wish I had half that talent
I did the same type of build with a 12 hp walk behind. A lot less fabrication. But your build is more interesting. Good job.
i've been ssing around on a friends soft soft for years, finally bought it. I found your videos and instantly subscribed and have been
You are definitely a fabricator , Nice job!
This is totally awesome work I am very impressed with the level of details I wish I had half this skillset.
Very nice work! The snowblower has a independent engine to power the blower, nice!
Great job, it's so satisfying when. You build things with your hands.
I wouldn’t know it was DIY if I saw it. Looks very clean and well put together.
One hell of a build. What a bad ass machine.
awesome build I have an old 1970 jd 140 with similar single stage blower they work great the old stuff just lasts
Great freakin' build! Nothing is hacked...all pro and as mean as a snow blower can be. Sick! Very professional job man. Nice work.
Very professional looking, and great video. God Bless from Phoenix.
So cool you are a very gifted person. I wish I you lived near me so I could see the beast. I would love to talk to you about a lot of your build. You rock !

Unbelievable build very well done! But the best part he knows how to use it! Slowing down for the big pile at the end! Most just blast right thru!
Very impressive craftsmanship. A machine of beauty. Well done Sir!
Impressive craftsmanship.
Hello,
Very nice build. I really like the way you used cheap parts.
It seems a little too thick steel for the motor mount/ chassis but it will last longer.
I admire the fact you have had the patience to really finish it an make it look like new.
Cheers from Belgium.

Oustanding project.. I couldn’t imagine using a lawnmower to clear snow from my property in the winter. Broke a lot of sheer pins and bolts lately.👍🏻
Very impressed to say the least.
Only problem I see is that you're running two separate engines to do one job... but I guess that this is what you get with SNO-VER KILL 😉🤗😊
Wow! That looks like a high quality piece of equipment right there! But it’s just homemade. That looks really nice.
Awesome Job on the fabrication. AA++ for taking care of the small details!
Nice work my friend enjoyed the video Thanks for sharing
A brilliant job, well done! We had a 32” Bolens of that date and it was a workhorse that lasted, it would even throw water/slush easily.
So happy I found this video! It was pure enjoyment from start to finish. Amazing job! I wish my pops was still around to see it. He was a machinists and fabricator and would have really appreciated your work.. Hope that machine serves you well.
Mike K thanks really appreciate it, thanks for watching
Awesome build. Looks great.
You are the man!! I can't even build a birdhouse! What an awesome machine... You should get a patent on that!! Damn am I jealous... Be safe
Beautiful fab skills...just awesome!
Very impressive great build, you put a lot of thought into it and wonderful craftsmanship.
Fantastic job!! You got it all figured out!! 👍👍👍
You've got crazy fabrication skills your welds looked perfect and with the power setup with its weight im sure it sticks to the pavement. Nice work
Jay Kidd, thx man appreciate it.
Yeah. What he said.

Nice work, great for big, really big property. You obviously have great skill sets.
I bow down to you sir.
Thats art with metal, good video
Folks, what we have here is a man who has clearly had absolutely enough of winters shit, and decided to whoop ass, and take no names.. I salute you, friend.. This beers for you🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻....
Awesome machine, throws real good an you can travel at a decent pace.
Yes a little overkill but one hell of a build. I'm doing one for my ATV and there will be several of your ideas used on it. Great job!!!
Run the motor off the back and use a hydraulic pump and motor for power transfer fore-aft.
Holyshit....fantastic work my friend 👏 wow
If you can find a Truck,Plastic mud flap,Cut squares to tighten up the shoot Auger,Thing will shoot another 20 ft,And the cool part is the engine is a ,about Idle..Fantastic welding and all around craftsmanship!73
RadicalRalph Russo, there is mud flap in there. Thx for watching
This was simply amazing and the music fit the video Perfect you should be proud of yourself with this astonishing creation
Dads wheel horse snow blower will do the same and we spent 20.00 on it. How ever killer job looks great
Nice job! Start to finish. The video work was wery well done. Thanks
I have a craftsman 10hp 32 cut with tracts and I'm in the process of basically doing the same thing I'm going to use some of your ideas . good job
Beautiful work! I am collecting parts to build an 8' blower for my 77 Ford. It'll be 2 stage powered by a 13 hp Tecumseh. Not sure whether I will go with belt or hydraulic drive. I sure can't justify buying one especially with how pricey, flimsy, and poorly designed many of the available blowers are these days. I can get many of the parts from my boneyard and the scrap metal yard. The feeling of watching the snow fly from the comfort of my heated cab has been on my mind for many years.
I know it has been 6 years but how is this beast holding up????-John
Awesome.....my next project when I get my dream shop. Just converted an old Craftsman garden tractor blade to lift with small winch...need to do some fine tuning, like add weight to blade and angle ability and I'm set for this winter. But, this would be awesome.
John Dinnery , I built a plow the year before it’s on the tractor in the beginning of the vid, worked well but ran out of places to push the snow, used a winch and an 12v linear actuator for left and right. Good luck with yours.
One of the Best damn reason to say “honey, ill be out in the garage...”
You are a very impressive genius at work on this beauty! 3 cheers to this build!
you the man...looks great..clean...great job
I bet you probably added rear weight to the lawn tractor by now. Nice looking build!
Fantastic work! And you have that satisfaction from start to finish and then performance. Kudos to you! You need to build one for my 4wheeler.
Hell of a nice job!
