520H snow thrower chute motors

[56servi 59]

Been working on my 520H this fall installing motors for chute rotation & deflection.  Had two 5" wet snowfalls this so far this year.  Gave me a chance to work the bugs out of system.

 

Backkground:  Had a few wheel horse tractors over the last 40 years.  The last one was a 88 520h I built up for snow.  Added motor for chute rotation, but had no way to automatically stop rotation when at end of gear teeth.  Posted on here in 2020 for help, but sold tractor because we bought a house in florida for the winter.  Sold house this year and back in Michigan full time

Started buying tractor, cab, snowthrower this summer to be set for winter.  looked back at old posts on this forum and found schematic for limit switches for chute motor (Can't find name of person who posted it}

Have everything tested working now.  Most of the electrical parts were purchased on Amazon or what I had on hand

The switch panel is too large & gets in the way when steering and F/R lever, another job for next summer

I don't have limit switches on my setup. Just stalls the motor out. I don't think they are really needed & complicates things a whole bunch. 

No forward reverse lever  ... pedal kit. Lighting switches in the overhead.

I agree the limit switches make it a lot more complex but on my old tractor I couldn’t see the end of the travel from inside.  I had two areas that I needed full travel to keep the snow off the house.  The motor gear would overrun the chute gears and jam up.  I then had to get out and turn the chute by hand to get it back working.  I spent a lot of time on the limit circuit but I enjoy doing these projects.

There has been a few write ups in the past I am thinking of doing the same hate to leave the cab to adjust the deflector. I can’t find them if I do I will try and link them.
