ABSTRACT:
A vertical crankshaft engine is the power source of a snowblower. Two horizontal drive belts extend from a double pulley arrangement on the engine crankshaft. One drive belt extends to the vertical input shaft of the traction gear case to power the snowblower wheels. The other belt extends to the vertical input shaft of a right angle gearbox at one axial end of the collector assembly to transmit rotary motion to the collector assembly. A horizontally pivotal idler pulley selectively tensions the belt providing the motive power for the collector assembly and a clutch assembly is associated with the traction axle assembly to selectively power the snowblower wheels.
The right angle gearbox housing is made in two complementary pieces which are held together by a type of snap ring and when assembled is bolted to one end of the housing of the collector assembly.
