Noel, did the snowblower have any markings? If we have the tractor covered, it would be great to know the snowblower.
Have not seen any thing yet. But have not had a real hood look yet. But I don’t I think it’s a ford blower. Pto shaft goes to the bottom of the blower. Then a number of cogs are there all run by chain, up to the impeller, gear box then turns the auger. Pto runs clockwise on the tractor, but the blower runs counter clockwise. So it’s a strange set up. I’ll get pictures of it with in the next few days. Looking at it from the back, normally the drive chain is on the right side for the auger. This is on the left.
Any way. Need pictures to explain better.

I was thinking the same Bill. Just me being cheap. Hehe. And yes winter diesel fuel would be better. I bought 20 litres of diesel fuel today. It was $48.00. If I could use furnace oil, the same amount of furnace oil would have cost $34.00

Maybe you should check with the distributor. In my area the heating oil is just off road diesel. It has a red dye added to show road taxes weren't added. The DOT goes to some of the big livestock auctions and takes fuel samples to catch the ones using it in their trucks.
Yeah it's illegal here as well.
We are opposite here. We buy Farm diesel for our heating because its cheaper than heating oil. We installed a hand pump in the tank so we can fill tractors in case anyone asks any questions.
A few pictures of the snowblower. Still don’t see any rating plate on it. But some snow on it from us playing with it.

First Diesel engine we ever had in any thing.
But I have been around Diesel engines a little.

I wonder how many snow blowers like that have that device. hmmmm
Lots of them used as a chute rotators on blowers and skid steer blowers, but I'd probably switch that one over to a smaller one lol.
