I have an old Craftsman snowblower (10hp, 32 in. swath) and would like to change its drive from a track system to tires. I have a small, flat driveway so the treads are unnecessary and burdensome (and costly - a new tread is $102). From the little information I can find online (I don't have an owners' manual) this wouldn't require any internal modification. However, does anyone know or have an idea if any external modification is necessary? The shaft comes out to a sprocket that attached by chain to a larger sprocket/drive wheel assembly. Could the shaft be used as an axle for the new wheel/tire as is?
