Pardon my fingers and fumbles (I haven't done a lot of videos). • Materials and other info: • This project can be done for less than $50 in parts, depending on what you have laying around. No holes were drilled, other than the switch mounting in the panel. All mounting brackets were attached to existing bolts. It's reversible to use the stock crank again in less than 20 minutes. I emulated the project shown by JBrumm here: • Honda HS928 Powered Chute with some variations in the motor and battery mounts, and use of a breaker (instead of a fuse). • The parts are: • Motor is a 5503740 power seat motor for a car. Now succeeded by 40588P0001 https://sciplus.com/car-seat-12vdc-ge... • I wrapped this in 3M electric tape to keep the water out. I only use 3M tape because it's UV-stable and the adhesive doesn't turn to goo as it ages. • I also used a DPDT center Off momentary contact toggle switch with a rubber boot added: • https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Handle-M... • Switch is wired like this diagram http://rollertrol.com/images/schemati... • The connecting linkage is 1/2 diameter copper pipe 3 long. Cotter pins are 1/8 and 5/32 . • Wire is #14 AWG Marine rated tinned primary wire (tinned wire has more corrosion resistance) I had around. #14 AWG wire is rated for 25A so I used a 10A circuit breaker tied in beneath the switch. The motor is rated at 1.25A no-load, and 25A stall load, but I haven't popped the breaker yet, even if I was a little slow to let off the switch after the chute rotation limits stalled the motor. • I also used a 1.5 width aluminum stock bar for a mounting bracket. This is available in 36 lengths for about $5 at Home Depot in the hardware section (where they sell threaded rod and angle iron). • I used a 2 x 1/8 flat steel bar between the handlebars to mount the battery, available same place as the aluminum. The battery shelf span was 13 overall, and the bar was cut to 15 then drilled, bent and painted. When measuring the bend points don't forget to allow room for the bend radius and bar thickness. • You can use any 12v battery. A 7AH capacity sealed lead acid alarm system or UPS backup battery will be more than sufficient if you recharge between snow storms. I had one laying around. • Update: In 2016 I added a battery box — I used a plastic ammo box and surrounded the battery in foam packing to keep it snug. I notched the lid to allow the wires to pass.
