Snowblower conversion question.
So I already have a hot rod blower. A 10 HP motor on a 5 HP 24" frame, which after an impeller and governor mod ,works pretty good. But my ? is:
Do any of you snowblower experts think a 2 stage machine could be converted to a 3 stage blower with a few ( expensive ) parts??????

I had a distance throwing issue with mine ….. I added hard rubber extensions to the existing metal paddles on the impeller …. they come much closer to the metal than the oem ones did...… My machine now throws about 10 ft. further...… I think you have plenty of HP at 10...…. good luck …..mike ……… My concern with the Three Stage machines is heavy wet snow … the more contact with moving parts the higher the strain on the machine ….. I think it will bog down easier …..

Yep, on Youtube check out the video titled
TEST snow blower Impeller Modification with and without
by sixtyfiveford and there are many many others that make their two stage throw much further, there's even folks selling the rubber paddles on EBay pretty cheap if you don't have your own material available.

After the installation of rubber pads on the impeller, line the chute with plastic. Helps to keep it from clogging up.

Well thanks guys. I did the impeller mod on both of my blowersyears ago and did it on a neighbors machine also. It does work. This year I exploded the auger gear box and broke both drive belts. Ingested a frozen /unopened pine cone. The parts are on order.
