I have a 4 foot 2 stage snowblower on my Ariens GT. It works great, except for 1 thing.
I have no way to raise and lower the discharge chute from the seat. And the cable spun around a drum, and hooked to the chute to rotate it, is archaic.maybe prehistoric.these 2 pertain to just the chute itself, not the whole blower. That is hydraulically controlled by the tractor already.
What can I adapt to the chute so I can control it from the seat? I've heard of putting a power window motor from a car on one for rotation but what about a gear on the base of the chute, for the window motor to mesh with? Any certain year make model power window motor to use? And do I get a 2nd power window motor standing on end for raising ànd lowering the top portion of the chute???
