Automatic Chute Rotation and Discharge (AGAIN)

[Ductape]

bobzap, that looks as good (if not better) as any factory set-up!

Yes, very nice. I don't have a deflector (yet) but my hydraulic rotation is the most confounded contraption I've seen lately. They took off the crank handle assembly and bolted on what looks like about a third of a wagon wheel with teeth on the circumference. A hydraulic cylinder is connected about two inches from the pivot point of the wheel, thus converting linear movement into circular movement.
It works fine, it just looks pretty goofy. When I figure out a new rig and get it built, at least I'll have some cool parts to build something else with.

Bobzap-- YES! Make the kit(s)! sounds like you'd be able to offer substantial savings as well as a set-up that looks great. (Bet it could be easily modified to fit other SCUTs, too!) If I didn't already have one, I'd snap it up in a NY minute!

Wait a minute.... if mine ever breaks....

Thanks guys! Hmmm... If it would only snow I could use it!

Here's a picture of the contraption.

Interesting 'Rube' setup, but hey it works and that's all that matters.

my wife says I should put together kits and sell them..

Bob, great job and your wife is correct. I don't own a snowblower but if I did I would certainly buy your product.
