Gibbs34567 0 #1 Posted December 11, 2017 I know I had seen someone modify a snowblower chute to motorize it's direction. I can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,112 #2 Posted December 11, 2017 I've done a couple using power window motors. You can also use a small actuator to control the deflector up and down. What type of blower do you have? Single Stage short chute, SS tall chute, 2 stage? If you use the search feature in the upper right corner and type in "motorized snow blower" all kinds of threads pop up. Make sure you are searching "all content" in the little drop down to the left 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what is so great about this forum, people sharing their ideas and knowledge with others. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbs34567 0 #10 Posted December 12, 2017 I promise once it is cleaned up I will summit pics of my 312-H. I had a 416-H with the same blower in a previous life (first marriage) Unfortunately I have the older style blower with the cable and spool to position the chute. This is why I want to shift to the motorized chute, spool is a pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
