135 RPM hydraulic motor. Now I can stay warm in the cab instead of getting out to turn the handle.

I have seen Windshield Wiper Motors used to turn Blower Shutes because of their very slow RPM. G |

135 RPM Are you broadcasting the Snow like you would Grass Seed? G |

| That speed motor seems about perfect for controlling the chute rotation and direction. Very similar to the hand crank speed. |

| 12 volt window motors quite common retrofit on garden tractor sized snowblowers, not sure if they would up to the task on a heavier blower like this. |

Doubt that a 12v window motor would have enough torque for that large of chute. Hydraulic motor would be the best route to take. I adapted an early GM power window motor/gear to the snowblower on my JD GX345. A bit of work, but it moved the chute easily. Rather than letting the motor stall out at the end of travel, I built a spring-loaded clutch to protect the drive; adjusted to just slip when it hit either end of travel. Also used a 12v actuator for the deflector; stock item at Surplus Center.

PM me for info.

I still have the hand crank on the chute turner for my snowblower, but I recently used a 12-volt linear actuator with a double pole, double throw momentary switch to tilt the tip of the chute up or down. I was more concerned about the tip, since I could easily turn the chute from the seat but had to shut everything down and get off every time, to tilt the chute.
