JJ - Nice job on the electric chute rotation. I just picked up a snowblower with manual chute and want to do the same. Any info on how you did it - e.g. what motor and bearings, where did you get them, etc - would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks. The motor is similar to this one.. Reversible Electric Gear Motor 12v 50 RPM Gearmotor DC - eBay (item 220513251140 end time Dec-19-09 09:44:29 PST)
I did manage to find it cheaper than that one, but same thing. No bearings were used. I made 2 different sized sleeves to adapt the motor shaft to the original hand crank tube. And the motor is mounted to the blowers original handcrank bracket, that way if the motor pukes out on me I can remove it quickly and reatatch the hand crank.
