I'm sitting here watching my next door neighbour shovelling his driveway and
the snow plow coming around filling it back in..hee hee......

Whats the GPF, gallons per foot (linear), of snow removed?

My friend Harold Foskett built one using a old 42 inch Ariens two
stage thrower and a Ford V6 from a junk Taurus he picked up as a
wreck.

The major problem? It would throw snow like crazy, but at such a rate
that the chute would clog - the snow actually melted at the second
stage and turned into ice eventually. He could only run it at idle -
hardly worth it.
