As JMech being my brother a short story that goes with that blowerer. In the 70's, I think. On the farm there was the main homestead with the house and, barns, and some hog barns then there was a quarter mile lane down to more hog barns and our elevator and scales. When it snowed dad and grandad cleared the lane with a tractor and loader and piled the snow on either side of the lane. We'll during a blizzard the snow got so high on the sides of the lane they could not pile it any higher so they went out and bought the snow blower pictured so the could blow the snow over the 15 to 20 foot piles on either side of the lane. We made some nice snow forts from the piles of snow they could make with that blower. It was not used too often but once when Jonathan and I were maybe jr high or early high school the road commissioner had to borrow it because they did not have heavy enough equipment to get down roads that were drifted over. After that winter they went and bought a bigger road plow.
