Well, we finally got the first snowfall of the year, good old reliable lake Erie helped out like it usually does by providing the lake effect snow...18+inches within 24 hours, and another 6-10 is on the way today.
Anyhoo, I'm looking to modify the chute of my snowblower from a manual crank to a motorized control. I just got the idea yesterday while snowblowing so I havent really researched it that much.
I'm planning on driving the motor off of the power generated by the blower, (has a headlight that runs all the time, havent had a chance to get a voltage reading off of it.) Anyone know what kind of current limitations I will have using this supply?
I would like to attach my motor to the shaft that you crank by hand to rotate the chute, involves less butchering of the blower. The shaft has about 5-10 turns to go side to side. Anyone know of a motor that will be able to handle this? (slow rotation, somewhat powerful)
Also if you have any suggestions on how to handle this, please feel free...
