Snowblower 2750D electric options

[douce48]

I was fortunate enough to pick up a used, but new looking, 2750D snowblower.
It has the electric chute rotation and discharge kit options mounted on the snowblower.

I need to get the directions and parts to run the power from the tractor (switches and wiring) to the snowblower electric options which have a 'snap connector' on each motor. I called Kubota and they told me to call a dealer. I went to my local dealer and they are having a hard time breaking down what's needed. He did find one drawing which showed one switch and wiring and it was around $90!
That's for just one electric motor hook-up.

> Does anyone have information on where to get the parts (other than Kubota) I need or the directions on how to hook this up?/B]

This should be off the shelf stuff but I need the directions or parts breakdown that comes with the electric kits.
My gut feel is when the dealer calls me back after contacting Kubota, it's going to be around $200 for everything . I don't mind buying quality but that's insane for two toggle switches and wiring (they must be painted orange).

Thanks in advance for any help,
Douce

If you want Orange it'll cost ya but if you want to do it yourself you'll need two DPDT toggle switches, a fuse and holder, some wire, and connectors. You can try NAPA for the motor connectors, they seem to be door window motors, but you could use whatever you want getting M&F and soldering into the motor plugs. Wire from the battery positive to the fuseholder to a center pin on each of the toggle switches. Wire from battery negative to the other center pin on each toggle switch. One switch will run the chute the other the rotator. Run wires from the motors to one set of switch pins and then cross them to the remaining set of pins such that the power is applied one polarity in one position and reverse polarity in the other resulting in up/down or left/right motions.

Enjoy your new snowblower!

I added the electrics to my snowblower. I put the controls in a box. Wired the motors to a plastic J-Box and used a waterproof connector to connect the two. This makes it easy to remove the blower in off season. I tapped power from the fuse block and terminated at an automotive type connector as can be seen.

Took a day to do, but has been a good setup.

Yep!

50 Amp Anderson connectors ($12.00)
Fuse holders, 12 guage wire ($5.00)

They use a window motor...... no need to spend the big bux on Kubota parts.

I got both electric drives on ebay for about $ 100 total, including Kubota install kits.

Thanks for all the information!

Will I be able to find the 'snap' connector mates that I need to connect to the motors locally or will I have to cut the motor lead connector off and splice on new snap connectors?

I'm sure I could find male and female connectors if I was creating a whole new electrical lead but I'm not sure what Kubota used and whether I could find the 'mate' connector. I hope I made sense.

Thanks again for your help. This forum is priceless.
