Perfect timing! I’m in the process of converting a Bolens 2 stage 46” snow blower to a 3 point mount for attaching to the rear of my Powermax and I was looking for a good solution....since I don’t have rear hydraulic remotes. 😎
Always wanted to try an automatic chute rotator. But my 8 HP Snow King Tecumseh hasn't enough voltage. I could mount a small moto battery I guess ........?
Very nice. I'm curious if there is a reason you didn't mount the switch so that it toggles left-right like the direction you want to direct the chute? Any problems with binding when it reaches the end of the gears on the chute?
I have since rotated my switch so it is oriented the way you describe. I installed it that way just out of habit, and didnt even think of it when I was putting it in. No issues with binding. As soon as I feel it hit the end I let go of the switch. Thanks for commenting!
Ethan Hartmann I didn't use a wiring diagram. I just know this stuff. I used a momentary on off on switch from eBay. I will make another video showing how to wire a motor like this. Meanwhile search my channel. I already have an excellent video on how to wire tractors
YESSSSSSSSSSS!! First like!!!! but I gotta Gig you for not using oil when using the lathe and drill press!! lol.. Dude this is a sweet mod. But tell me what you think of this suggestion. A ring around the base of the chute about 2 inches wide..to cover the slots and the sprocket. This any blow back, or falling show before use doesn't build up in there.
Dave Ackerman 1967 its 12v. A 12v motor will spin one way then the opposite way when the polarity is reversed. The polarity is reversed via the switch, it doesn't get much easier.
You're not alone. Our office gets hundreds of calls a year helping with wiring issues. I will make a video next week on this particular wiring job and make it very easy to understand. The switch wiring is what hangs people up since there are 6 prongs.
Mute the audio, then we can't here you when you talk. The music would not be so bad if it was not as loud as you talking. That is a problem with all the you tubes.
Man the speed on that thing is awesome, what a brilliant idea using a window motor.
Thanks!
Thank you for the idea. I did the same modification to my atv snow blower using the same electric motor. Works very well
What a great mod! I may have to attempt this on my Wheel Horse 2 stage 48 inch
Nice work. Not sure if you have or not but you could turn the switch sideways for chute direction.
Good call! I will do that!
Just like it came from the factory pretty slick
No idea you lived in Maine! I've been watching all your videos the past couple days awesome to see a UA-camr that lives in Maine!
Thanks! Born and raised in Portland!

turbooutlaw1976 perfect timing indeed!
It is called a single pole double throw switch I believe.
That's a good idea now you just need a cab.👍:)
lol
that is pretty cool. Great idea on that!

I am trying to find one like the one you show in the video but I can't can you tell me where you bought it?
ebay
Great job. Can you walk through how you wired that?
Brian Philbrook yrs I will do another video on that

Hello, great job, very nice 😉
nice job
The Flatlanders are impressed.
Life goal accomplished!
Why is your drill press chained up?
Thats awesome
What kind of switch did you use and were did you get the wire diagram to wire it all up

I do use oil and cutting solution. Just didn't make the video cut.
That's a good idea about having some kind of hood to prevent snow from gumming things up! Thanks. I'll see what I can do.
Great!!
I like your thinking, music is a little too much though. you got some cool old tractors though!
Awesome
nice add
What is the electric motor out of
AllisChalmer1 it's for a car window
Out of what make and model
It's a generic universal motor.
Very cool Norman but it would be nice to have you explain the wireing
Dave Ackerman 1967 I think I will make a separate video doing that. Thanks for the suggestion!

A 12v motor will spin one way then the opposite way when the polarity is reversed. The polarity is reversed via the switch, it doesn't get much easier.
jhitt79 I'm sure it is but wireing is not my strong point if I'm shown I will get it

isavetractors thanks Norman
Hi can you kill the music much better without it.
I will keep that in mind for future videos. Meanwhile feel free to mute the audio. Thanks for watching!
