47 snowblower chute control

Hi there I have one installed on my 47" blower. I used a 2" stroke actuator. Works perfect- It goes from fully extended up to downward. Works awesome I got to use it for the storm we had a month ago. A 25 pound force model is plenty.

I bought one on Ebay for $40 delivered. I had seen someone else here use the same unit. 3" stroke worked perfect.



It was so simple I couldn't believe it. I used the existing holes and only drilled them out for the larger diameter bolts. It took less than 15 minutes to install.



I purchased it from user Drum4382 and he has a bunch of them posted for that price now on Ebay.

6" works perfect and a 15lb model is way stronger than needed and comes in a much more compact deign.

There is a recent thread if can find the link I will post.

But all you need is the actuator and a DPDT switch couple of small bolt. U only need to dill two small oles.

r8nger,

I believe (from looking at your avatar) you have the same blower as I do on our 2520. Here is a link I posted previously when I added an electric actuator to our blower on our 2320.

Hope it helps and best of luck with your modification.

a 2" actuator may be ok for your purpose but it will not go from full open to full close if that is the intention...
