The 28" EGO snowblower has a long front and is thus a bit nose heavy. Rough terrain creates drag on the metal shoes. So, here I add some quality wheels and it's now roller blading! How I did it with links to materials.

Wow the auger on that snowbird definitely wouldn't pass the safety lawyers today. Interesting how you solved the bolt head on the back issue, I've been thinking about doing the same with inline skate wheels, might borrow your idea.

Great idea. I did this three years ago with mine. I designed a couple pieces in CAD and had them laser cut. I used a bronze bushing in larger stainless disc, more like your old snowblower you were reminiscing about.

Ya... happens to me all the time if grinding or welding. I sometimes get metal soot all over my face.

Can you put the wheel on the inside?

I would have liked that but the shoe sits flush against the side of the blower and bolts on. No room for it and the shoe to sit securely flat. If I had cut into the plastic I could have recessed it 1/4" more though. And if I had mounted it alone on the inside of the housing I would have had to drill into the blower to do that potentially negating the warranty. So I opted to abandon that tact.

Great idea, excited to hear how they work…if you ever get any snow 😂 It was cool seeing the snowbird as well…did you get rid of one or both of them? I can’t remember if one was a parts one or if they both were 😂

The snowbird I got rid of in 2001. Then the ariens then.
