I Bought One of the Most Rare an Interesting Machines In the World!

[@JohnHaynes-hy5ot]

This machine is based on a Ford 5000, which was then converted by an old English tractor company called county. If it’s a 4 cylinder the tractor was probably a county 794. They were then converted to these snowblowers in Quebec Canada.

[@MAXQ14]

Also pretty sure the cummins powers the blower and the ford engine just powers the tractor like it used to when it was a tractor

[@oakfarmagricultural506]

Correct although it was based on the ford 7600 and later the 7610 which this one is

[@stakman78]

@@MAXQ14 yes 100 percent. Of course the original engine under the hood powers the tractor and the add on engine runs the add on blower. Dave not very bright. And yes a Ford county.

Another great video. We lived in Montreal in the mid 70s, one of those machines actually chewed half of my mother's white 60s VW Beetle that was buried to past it's roof. The city workers had no ideal it was there under the massive snow pile. We heard a huge racket, went outside and the guys were scratching their heads, said sorry, and continued on with their work day like nothing happened. Awesome power in those things.

When you and your team saved several people during a huge snowfall, I commented to you that you would need this kind of machine. I'm so glad to see you've finally thought about it. It's awesome! If it does not cause you mechanical problems, you will save dozens of lives during the next storms because this machine literally eats up large piles of snow in seconds. Cheer ! I'm from Quebec, I see these machines very often in winter.

[@Gh3ttoboy]

[@shaunallsopp6269]

That is every snow guys dream right here run the smaller tractors for city sidewalks, Big blower for train tracks or highway, and the tractors for city bays or parking lots. Amazing...

[@MrMcNorm]

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec... These machines are everywhere there, and are honestly feared. Really, really cool to watch them work and they make the craziest noise when they chomp down and shoot heavy snow crazy distances, but let's just say that at least now they have a security person walking in front of them when clearing the streets in residential zones. =(

[@Fixit41]

Also from Montreal, I think these things were powerful enough to eat a car if it was buried in a snowbank. no way to stop it in time to prevent destruction. I remember when I was a kid that one broke down in front of my home in Laval, and they had to replace one of the augers which had broken and they actually did it on site and I watched the whole thing

[@MrMcNorm]

@@Fixit41 That must have been cool to watch! You should check out vids of the ones they use at the Montreal snow depots. Those ones are going full send at all times! Cheers :)

[@pk78612]

The old snowblower is based on a County 754 (or possibly 764, depending on the year of built?). County Tractors was a UK based company, that converted Ford tractors (in this case a Ford 5000 2wd) into a 4wd. In the days Ford didn't supply 4wd as an option yet. Each front wheel has a seperate drive shaft taken from the rear axle. This results in a low centre of gravity and great grip, but also in a slightly bigger😊 turning circle. Since the tractor is for quite some part based on a Ford 5000, those parts should be available well. For the 4wd part: those are County parts, which can be bought at Mark Osborne (County tractors parts Ltd). The engine in the back will power the snow plow. In the first versions, this was a 6 cylinder Ford engine (about 100 HP). County tractors are highly collectable tractors in Europe especially in the UK. I have a County 754 myself. The Ford gearbox is a Select-o-Speed. Basically the predecessor of the powershift. Although it doesn't have a too well reputation in Europe, the 10 speed forward and 2 speed reverse gearbox is not that bad, as long as maintenace is done properly, which was less necessary with the Ford tractor manual gearbox. Might be the reason most European farmers prefered the manual gearbox. For the snowplow, the SOS-gearbox is perfect! Many Ford tractors in the US were supplied with a SOS-gearbox, altough most of them were lighter tractors. To transport the snow blower with a Select-o-Speed gearbox, please put the selector in Neutral to prevent damages to the gearbox, which could be pretty expensive. If you have any questions about the Ford or County part, just let me know. Kind regards from The Netherlands

[@aboversite]

Agree. I have a 1973 Ford 4000 Select O Speed and it works just fine. Tranny got a bad rap.

[@paulshannon4576]

I now know more about snowblowers than before. Thanks.

[@jonniessink1]

Also can't forget about the lever on the differential to unlock the rear end if you got to move it dead. ( I believe its on the right side, but it's been a few years since I've seen my dad's ford 4200 high crop tractor) when my dad bought the tractor, it had been sitting for about 10 years and we didn't know to much info about the select-o-speed transmission yet. Plus the area where the lever was packed in oil and dirt so we couldn't find it at 1st. The guy towing the tractor for us almost completely smoked his clutch on his 1 ton f-350 tow truck trying to pull it. Then we found the lever a while later and it was much easier to move after😅

[@jonniessink1]

​@@aboversiteyea, and it didn't help that the shifter was made out of pot aluminum and friction fitted together😐 i about destroyed mine trying to put it back together

[@mickes564]

Finally a good answer and correct in my opinion. But is the bonnet replaced? The front looks like a 10-series and not based on a 6x 5000? SoS came to the end with 6x what I know.

[@dhache1195]

The Vohl are maybe slow but when the operator select the proper gear, don't mather the snow in front, there is no need to back up 2 or 3 times to blow the snow, only one pass is sufficient

[@SirT0M1]

I worked with these VOHL blowers for decades. We would mount them on various articulating front end loaders. Using the chute, I could load a tandem dump truck in less than a minute and a tri-axle in about 90 seconds. Also, if you REALLY want to move snow, turn the drum away to bypass the chute and have at 'er! Also, make sure to put shear pins on the main shaft. Just a friendly warning though, I can't tell you how much fun it is (NOT) to change shear pins in blowing snow at -40 degrees!! Those days I don't miss. LOL 😱

[@pumptruckjim]

I have driven one of the Vohle blowers. They are almost impossible to turn but are an absolute beast when running. If I remember the front engine runs the tractor and the rear engine runs the blower unit. The blower drive train has numerous sheer pins on it. The tractor engine has a button on the dash to make it start easier. I think its some sort of decompression or oil pressure bypass. If you wind it up there is a way to bypass the output chute and just blow the snow directly out the side. Like I said its an absolute beast when running.

We tried using generic fluid and had nothing but trouble. As long as we ran the Ford brand oil for the Select-O-Speed transmission we were OK
