Guess I will have to look for an snowblower motor

Again thanks for all your help

Thanks Joshua

Thanks

I did notice in the manual I downloaded from this site list the chopper mtr. as 240V single phase.
It seems 120v works fine, is 120 the correct voltage?

Took the chopper apart, was frozen with rust. Use about a can of wd40, let it soak for a day, then cleaned it.
Works like new. Do you think if I got a 1 1/2-2 1/2hp gas motor hooked up to the blower it would increase the volume?

Is it possible that the chopper solenoid needs to be energized for the chopper mtr to operate?

I connected 120vac to the chopper mtr, and there was only a very low hum coming from the housing. The cable is a so cable #12w blk/wht coming out of the yellow steel tube, I believe thats the chopper wires. The only other wires in the housing are (3) wht wires connected to the rotor plate which I th...

Thanks again for all your help.
I will be at the boy scout camp this morning, and I will try to fire up the chopper mtr.
Will get back to you.

I might have a single phase motor, but I think it is about 1 1/2 hp, would that be enough to power the blower?
This is all donation work, can't afford to spend 600-700 dollars.

The boy scout camp is about 100 acres so you think this won't be heard in that area?
What if I replaced the blower mtr with a 120v single ph motor, and have just the blower, and chopper operate?

Thanks guys!

What would it sound like if you just used the chopper, it would be the best way for us because we wouldn't have to try to get a three phase service brought to it. I live in Janesville Wi.
