Running Snowthrower Lights & Chute Movement Off Engine Electricity (No Battery!)

This video shows you all of the modifications that I made to my snow thrower, including how to add motors to the chute that are powered by the gas engine instead of a battery. I put schematics of the electrical system at the end of this video. Here's what it all looks like in operation.    • Custom Craftsman 536.887995 Snow Thrower
