Would any one have a diagram and dimensions for a frame for front mount blower for a ford tractor of about 35 hp. Our maintenance man would like to front mount a 3 pt hitch blower designed for the Ford on the front; He doesn't know how to back the tractor and blower or doesn't want to. I said I would run the unit this winter,[ Acts like he has a dead ear to suggestions of mine.]
So can any one help with diagrams of one they made that way he can make his own rather than pay the price for a pre made one.
You may email me.

Here's a front mount, has a reversing gear box on the rear and driveline in the underneath tube frame. Once you use a front mount, you'll throw rocks at a rear mount..

You may well be quite right. Front or rear makes no difference to me [ I have always used a 3 point hitch one] BUT as I said the maintenance man would like a front mount. >>>> Do you have any measurements off yours that I may pass on to him so he can manufacture one. Size and type of material, position of joints, lengths of shaft and type of gear box. any and all these and more would help so that I may hand him a material list so he can create the mount. A pre made one is too rich for his blood; he indicated.
Thank you.

This one is from Canada, BER-VAC the builder. Will have to get some measurements, thought the pictures would help. Blower is a rear mount to begin with, fastened to the two 3 inch square tubes that run front to back, to the rear reversing gearbox. A single pin in the drawbar supports the rear, a single action cylinder chain lifts the front, and a lateral bar holds the front side to side. A double action cylinder turns the spout, but an electric unit would work too. I USED to run dad's JD/McKEE rear mount, but NO MORE!! My older neck doesn't turn like it used to..
 
Reply on the fabrication re backing up the tractor and blower. The present maintenance man worked in the aircraft repair shop in the London airport until they removed that part of the shop to else where so he has some skills with tools and equipment; >BUT< he wasn't brought up on the farm where backing up tractors for >long< distances was required" as part of farming like you and I.
I like what I see; I may even desire to build something similar for our IHC farmall BN to create a system for what ever front equipment I might want to attach from flail mowres to blades to what ever. I know I have looked into a proper loader for the tractor >>BUT<< to no satisfaction on price I like [ having talked to a friend of mine who is part of the IHC chapter 20 group same as I; found out that $100.00 which is a reasonable price for one that may need some assistance.]
So I will hold to hear from you on further information on dimensions.
Thank you. Have a safe day >>>> today we have ice and rain at Thamesford near London Ont. probably will go out to sand for our older neighbours in a few moments.

Best would be to mount on a loader with its own engine to power the blower as 35 horse is not enough to power anything over 3' wide.
 
I'd just like to find one of those reversing gear boxes. I'd make up the rest. I made up a front mount for my 6 foot blower on my 2850 Kubota that is bolted to the front frame and utilizes the regular 3PH on the blower. 22 GPM PTO Hydraulic pump, 20 gallon Hyd tank mounted on rear 3PH, hydraulic motor sized to pump. Not a perfect setup but it has worked for me for over 25 years. I worked in a machine shop and fab shop so I had access to the everything to work with. Wish I had built a reversing gear box now. But at 74 and no access to a machine-fab shop I guess that is not going to happen. I'll try to get some pics later.
 
It usually runs at about 1000 PSI pressure at 2000 engine RPM. Any higher pressure is to much for the engine. I'm used to it so I can do a good job with it unless we get a wet heavy snow. Never have seen a snowblower that likes wet snow. The chute is rotatable 360 degrees. in either direction with the hydraulic motor. Overall I am very happy with it.
 
Just because he worked in an aircraft repair shop don't impress me. I once saw an aircraft mechanic putting Teflon tape on a flared tubing fitting. IMO
 

I don't know that measurements from Dieseltech's set up would do you/him much good, his is 125HP plus tractor and physically much larger.

Does the tractor in question have a live PTO or does the PTO stop when the clutch is pushed? If it doesn't an engine driven unit should be considered. A pto pump with a reservoir and a hydraulic driven snow blower for a skid steer similar to Phil's would seem like the easiest build for a 35 HP tractor a push frame from the rear axle and a simple lift cylinder. If he can fabricate the photos the fellows have posted should get him well on his way. JMHO.
 
the ford has live pto while my farmall has not. So he can use easily a similar system to the skid steer. I have already contemplated using a separate v twin 16 hp brigs for my setup.

I attached a site that builds engine driven snow blowers for pickup trucks and tractors. This is the wrong side of the pond (and way out of the price range) for you as far your likelihood of finding one to look at, but it may give you some ideas and sizes engines they use.

They certainly do have a selection and the hp is up to 30 hp. I think that he could make the parts he is reasonably handy with mechanical equipment. Just that he doesn't want to ack the tractor and blower around nearly 2 miles of laneway here at the camp grounds, many of them short. I did it for two winters before he arrived on site so it is not hard just that he doesn't live on site and I do so. I think there may be politicks in play.
