[QUOTE=ivanputski;1058343]My brother added rubber flaps to the tips of snowblower impeller to close the gap between the impeller blade and the side wall. ( plenty of you tube videos about it)
His snowblower now throws snow twice as far, and doea not clog up on slushy days. I watched his snowblower ( which used to suck, so i gave it to him) throw heavy slush over 10 feet.

I just made some for mine and installed them... 20 minute project. I normally hate snow, but i am dying yo try this out!

Did it to both of mine out of an old truck mud flap. HUGE difference

Never heard of this modification, but might have to give it a try, just because it sounds like it would work and appears to be an easy supercharger.....

I stumbled across some of those videos on you tube when I was looking up some info.
Some even go as far as putting on high output motors and pully changes as well.
The flaps made a huge difference from what I saw on the video.

How did you guys like the modifications to your machines???? I was getting clogged up with heavy wet stuff yesterday. Need feedback as I would consider doing it ahead of the impending 2 feet of snow coming Monday night
