Was throwing stuff out in the community dumpster and I saw a backpack blower. Dragged it out and checked compression. It was good. Looked at the thing and noticed that it needed a new primer bulb. Went to my equipment supplier and picked up a new primer bulb for $6.48. Installed it, and the blower works great! It moves lots of air.

The Echo PB-770T blower is rated at: 756 cfm @ 234 mph.

List price is $549.00.

It’s tempting. A Blown 300. I’m in the hole for under $7.00. Even if it makes under a 1/2 psi of boost, it’s still the best bang for the buck (Truck).

Just imagine the looks from people having this mounted in front. Hook up the throttle on the dash. When not needed the blower can just idle along. But when at a red light, that is when all the fun starts. Just throttle up the blower, give the truck throttle and hold on baby!!!

Ok, :giggle: we can all dream once in a while.

I hope no one is taking this seriously.

At times we all need a good laugh.

It gets better!

Took the hose off and mounted my bicycle. Gave the blower full throttle. Gave myself a push and the blower pushed me up a slight grade about 5 mph.

Going down the grade was a different experience. The bike went so fast that I felt close of losing control.

I better stop while I’m in one piece.

Had enough fun for the day.
