Summer Sojourn, Day 09

At the end of last winter Xavier scored this snow blower for a decent price. The discharge chute swivels to blow snow to whatever side makes the most sense; it was operated by a crank that he couldn't--quite--reach from the tractor seat, so he jury-rigged a power window motor to drive the shaft through a coupling made from a 7/8" socket and a universal joint. He jury-rigged the wiring, too, so we cleaned that up today.

The snowblower...


The motor interfaced to the drive shaft...


DPDT switch (center off) mounted to the rollover preventer...


Power jack above the rear differential...


...and the wiring tucked inside some plastic loom.


This morning we're heading down to Oshkosh...
