Motorizing Snow Blower Frontier SB1174's Chute Rotation

Posted by K Milner on Jun 12th 2023

This following review came from our customer. The motor he used is PN01007-38 with the LBRACKET.

I submitted a review online but I don’t see it posted so I’ll try to remember what I said. The gearmotor is for a Frontier SB1174 3-point hitch PTO snow blower. Frontier is a subsidiary of John Deere, this particular snowblower is manufactured for them by Rad Tech in Canada. The screenshot below from a John Deere brochure depicts the standard hand crank and a hydraulic option. The hand crank was not optimal for my enclosed cab tractor. The hydraulic option was expensive and complicated to integrate the control. Electric motor rotation was ideal for my needs but unavailable so I had to build my own as shown in the pictures sent earlier.
