Won't need to go thru that, wiring micro switches, won't be hard to figure out when I hit the stops. Motor might slightly bind, dim lights, will use a sprung, momentary ON-OFF-ON type of switch.
Never really thought of a worm drive motor,I( see where one guy used a power seat motor and the screw section. Mounted the motor solid, ran the screw acros to a tab weleded on the chute and made a set up (Large Nut) for the screw to turn in to turn the chute. did the same for the deflector.
Build a sheild to keep the ice and snow off the motor and crank screw works also.
Most guys use a rocker switch or toggle switch and watch the chute. when it gets where yiou want take your finger off the switch so it pops in neural.

I have had some like that in the past.My chute seem to wobble around so moving the chute is a PIA. I guess I have to disassemble and see what exactly is worn causing this as i can only move chute using one hand on chute holding it level while my other hand turns the crank
Something you folks down there desparately wish you had once a year, when the schools close on account of heavy frost.So what are these snowblower things y'all are discussing?
I know that Ariens built many different models of walk behind blowers, I would be surprised if a chute off of another model wouldn't go right on there. But IDK which one to go with, I bought one off of an older model 6/24 and it's inlet is much smaller in diameter than the outlet flange on mine. So that was strike 1.Hmm, I think our walk behind uses a ring gear. I wonder how close they are in size.
