Damn if you removed the blade, this is actually a pretty good idea

If you anchor the snowblower, secure it and remove the blades... I think this idea has potential

If you have one or can obtain one for cheap then try it. Another good option is a harbor freight predator motor. You can get a hand throttle cable that lets you stand far enough away from hazard. Just make sure to get a centrifugal torque converter so that you don't have the pin wheel spinning as soon as you start the motor.

I hooked up a bike rim to the bottom of the deck and I tried it but it didn’t work but I’m gonna make it out of an electric engine I have and going so wire it up with a plug so we you plug it in it gives her shit
