Found this idea in a old thread on another forum

Been trying to come up with a way to make a self propelled sprayer at a reasonable price!

Can't wait to start the build! :lol: :thumbup:

Should be able to convert it back into a snowblower for winter.

I'm digging that setup! I wouldn't even know where to start

Looks neat! I wonder if it can be made to carry more than a 2/12 gallon jug and operate an engine driven pump from the crankshaft..

I love it! Now where to find a snowblower around here....

It's a shame too because I threw a bunch or derelict snowblowers into a scrap heap before I left NY!!

Snowblowers are easy conversions because of how the traction housing mates to the blower housing. I think I'd prefer to find a junker, popular brand with cheap parts let's say. Put a Predator engine on it (quiet!) and build the sprayer portion however you please. The pump could be mounted under the tank and belt driven, or you could belt drive a small alternator and run an electric pump. Lots of room on the panel to mount switches, some blowers already have provisions for lights..... hmm. Sure wish I had my old garage!

Yep that's pretty cool

Going to start the search for one with several forward gears just to make sure it will have enough speed. I believe some of the old Deere's have 5 forward.
