Thanks gandall4. That motor number must be an aftermarket replacement motor number. I was expecting you to say a 20xx Chevy pickup truck window motor.
Yes I have been scouring all the post on several forums looking for ideas.

Last Year We had almost to much snow for the bike to handle so we figured we would get something to keep the snow banks way back

Finally! The used blower came home back when the weather was hot and it seemed like Winter was a very long way off. This afternoon I finished wiring the motor and linear actuator (wearing a heavy coat). Where did the time go? Another thing I want to try is the add-on wings for the bucket. Each attaches with one 1/2" bolt. There's a small tool bag in the cab with a good quantity of shear bolts and the wrenches to fit them, along with assorted pins, Nylock nuts, etc.

I discovered the cable that goes around the chute needs to be "sloppy loose" to work well. The original manually operated turning mechanism had what I thought was way too much slack in the cable. When I reassembled the blower I made the cable neat and tight. When I tried the rotator, it wanted to bind. After doing away with a wrap or two it works great.

Tell me more about these wings on the bucket. Did you build them or buy them?

Great set up I like how you "tucked" the plow tight and under the arms. This will be my first year with mine mounted under also. I had it connected with about 4 inches under the frame last year. It worked well, but I still didnt like the legnth and also that amount of weight overhanging the front. Made it feel like to much weight swinging around out there.
