I have a garden variety MTD snowblower that has a tecumseh engine. I think its about a 22" two stage unit with maybe an 8 hp engine. I've used it for many years and the only thing I would change is the manual discharge chute crank. I've got an old electric window motor from my 95 e300d drivers door that could easily spin the crank and change the direction of the discharge chute. Any way to get enough electricity from the engine to power the electric window motor? How about a battery turning the motor and the engine charging the battery?
