A rig about that vintage, blower augers were bigger, was used on state highway 14 in my part of minnesota until just a couple years ago. It was painted orange not armed grey. We had a decade or more of not too extreme winters, then we had some big ones again, mostly blowing snow, fill in the roads. That old blower would come humming along. I’d guess the hwy workers couldn’t handle the old cab any more. Engine in the back to run th blower.
Last 3-4 years I see a large JD tractor with a big tough blower on it now. Takes a lot longer for the tractor to drive the route to get everything blown back.
The plows usually get the road open, but the snow can be drifted and piled 6-10 feed high on the side of the road, on the road shoulder lane. Too much for a plow to move any more, and any little wind drifts it all full feet deep again. So the blower comes along over the next days and moves those ridges back.
