New use for a truck engine

I built this unit as a high school vo-ag shop project back in '75/'76. The blower itself is a Hiniker.

A V-8 345 IH engine drives the blower and a Chevy 261 I-6 engine moves it.

I still use it. The paint job is getting a little "long in the tooth", though.
 
Few home made machines get used that long.

What did you use for a chaise? Is it hydrostat?

The frame rails are from a couple of junked WC Allises.

The drive axle is from a Deere 55 combine, the steering axle is from a Massey 90 combine.

NO hydrostat. The Chevy 261 drives two 4-speed truck trannies in series, feeding the combine tranny, which is locked in one gear, giving 16 forward speeds. The engine has a variable speed governor, so the choice of speeds is infinite.
 
Well, Gosh, how can that possibly work at all? It's home engineered, you'd didn't go @$$ over teakettle in debt to buy it, it's not green, it's not new, it didn't come with a warranty and none of the parts came from the same manufacturer!

/sarcasm, for the perception-impaired...
 
Post a couple of days ago about "CONCOCTIONS", the moneyed people would agree with this being useless when you could go to mother Deere and buy a factory correct rig to do this job the "right way" and for only $$$.
 
That's the post that inspired my comment.

Tom Edison started out tinkering around in a home workshop. He seems to have done fairly well...
