Uni-harvester and Minneapolis-Moline

Uni-harvester and Minneapolis-Moline SNOWBLOWERS Snowblowers 28-2-41 We got tired of looking backward when blowing snow so we came up with the idea of combining a Uni-harvester and a Minneapolis-Moline 705 to make a powerful snowblower. The Uni had a Perkins diesel in it but we found that it was a little too short on power to pull the blower. So we used the M-M 705 even though it had a bad rear end. We took all the gears and front axle housings off but left the PTO shaft intact. All that was left was the engine and rear housing. That was then mounted on the side of the blower. We use the uni-harvester for the 3-pt. hitch, turning the spout, and to put the clutch in and out of gear. All the gauges and controls are in the cab. The 504 engine in the M-M 705 cranks out 130 hp for the snow blower. We can run the snowblower at full throttle and still creep the tractor.
