Leaf blower attachment thing?

[Ifixoldjunk 778]

after seeing some posts yesterday about homemade leaf blower attachments I picked this up from the local junkyard. It was a bagger blower off a old husky zero turn. Y’all think it’s a good candidate for conversion into a tractor driven leaf blower?

It was pretty much new and close to free to me so if the junk man needs to take it so be it.

I figure that double idler setup is pretty close to a wheel horse mule drive too so it shouldn’t be to bad of a conversion. Maybe I’ll mount it to some kind of carriage like the old front deck carriers.🤔🤔

Give it a shot.    By the way

I think the far side pulley would have to be positioned in line with the PTO and the belt power loop would have to run from this pulley to the top of the PTO to run the fan in the correct direction.

The near side pulley would probably need to be turned and repositioned to align the lower return loop of the belt with the PTO.
