Snowblower Buhler Snowblower Hydraulic Chute Rotator and Electric Chute Deflector

[mentat30]

Thought I would share pics of the chute rotator and deflector. The chute rotater is from Buhler the cylinder I bought from Burden Sales Surplus Center and the chute deflector is made from a satellite dish linear actuator that I cut down to fit. I bought the switch and the project box from Radio Shack. The switch is mounted in the project box, the project box has a magnet on the back, to hold it on the back of the plate that the rear remotes are mounted on. I wired it to the tractor using a trailer connector so that when I unhook the snow blower the switch stays with the snow blower. I don't need the switch on the tractor in the summer when I mowing lawn etc.

We got our first snow fall of the season so tonight after I get home I will get to try out the snow blower!

Looks great. Curious with the satellite disc jack, is it 12 volt or designed for 24 and still run ?maybe just a bit slower? Which wouldn't be bad.

It was a 24V, I am running it on 12V. It is slow, but the price was right....Free! I have about $10 into it, the switch, project box, trailer plugs, wire. I priced 12V ones online and they are around $100. I can live with slow for now. LOL
