Well I’m done motorizing my snow thrower except for a on - off switch, coming in the mail, just in time for 70 degree weather. There is a 10amp in line fuse and there is a disconnect for each motor and the power.  I made this setup so it can be easily taken off and the original crank put back with just one clip. I think it looks a little crude compared to some of the setups on this site. I made it from items on hand around the shop. The box for the switches was to small to fit in the power switch so I’m going to mount it on top .( The white cap )

That will be VERY handy when sitting inside the cab!  Might want some covers over as many moving parts as you can, though.

Manual controls are a big issue from an enclosed cab.  You're two steps ahead already so keep your eyes peeled.  I found two hardtops very reasonable!

      523XI Snow blower trouble
      By Xearl
      Well we got the snow  and halfway down the driveway the augers stopped turning . Well once before the belt came off , not this time .  I can turn the auger but the impeller shaft doesn't move . Looking at the parts diagram there are keyways on both gears and I'm hoping one of them sheared off .  Has anyone worked on one of these  ? I could use some advice on the best way to go about this .  I just spent two days with the 518 XI with a plow clearing enough to get out and have enough room for delivery trucks to turn around .

      2 stage snowblower
      By Xearl
      I have a 523dxi with a 2 stage snowblower and I popped the belt off the engine pulley. I don't know how to release enough tension together it back on without taking it apart. Can someone please help me.
