Very good idea, only problem we don't have snow blowers in the UK, but
thanks for the input I'll have a look at some other agricultural power
driven units. I am still real interested in an battery powered jobber if
anybody has created one.

Didn't Kitplanes (maybe another mag) have a recent article on a cordless
drill creation? I think the details were sketchy though, not a Jim Weir
production forsure. I might be wrong but I believe it used the remains
from a weedeater powered garden tiller...

The one in Kitplanes (from a month or two ago) was based on a Ford
truck wiper motor, a Harbor Freight rubber tire, some scavenged
bicycle gears and chain, a small sealed lead-acid battery and a Volvo
window switch... but mainly it was just about ideas to cobble
something together more than "plans".

It all comes down to the fact that if someone's a good scavenger and
knows how to weld they can build anything.
