Hi,

Looking for detailed pictures of your window motor chute mods.

It is time for me to think about it.

Here is what I used. A jawtype coupling, power window motor from a 190E mercedes, and a piece of angle iron.

I have a electrical plug at the back of my tractor. I just plug in the connector and operate the motor with a two way switch. I don't need the blower that often but the few times I have used it it has worked great for me.

Thanks,

From the motors I have worked on it is not what I expected.

Rather than a window regulator motor I used the little gear head motor that Surplus Center sells, it's a rather beafy little guy, and we made a diamond plate house for it to keep the snow off.

The process was: 1) remove the crank and shorten the drive tube, 2) mount a flex coupling, 3) make the mounting house to fit, 4) wire it up to a fused circuit (this motor will stall out at about 13 Amps) and 5) switch with a DPDT momentary in a convenient location.

Looks like you need a 'leaf' blower.

God and I made a deal. He makes the trees, causes them to grow leaves, brings on the fall season and lets the leaves settle beautifully to the ground, then I wait until He's finished and I blow them all away!

Bless you, brother.

Very nice work. What actually turns the chute (from the coupling to the chute).
