Ariens snowblower - that motor that moves the shoot - what do you think about this ?
Original Message   Sep 4, 2008 12:54 pm
On many models of snowblowers, I see a cable system that will move the snow shoot lever ( the one that ajusts the height of snow being shot out of the shoot )
however, it seems on the Ariens they use a motor system.

How does this thing work ? and does it work better than a cable system ?

I honestly don't understand how this motor is powered though ?

( I am talking about the long black pole that comes up at the front of the Ariens snowblowrs, and it has a large cap on it ) - I'm assuming this is a motorized system
that somehow adjusts the end of the snow shoot, so you can adjust how high or low you wish the snow to be shot out of the machine.

It's not a motor. It's a gear set. There's still one cable in the mechanism to unlock the detent.
