Yesssssss! Hydraulic drive?

I want to replace the chute deflector bar with an actuator (see photos). The welded brackets have large holes for the pins while the actuator has small end holes. I am looking for an easy to build attachment solution.
I am sure some have solved this problem. Why reinvent the wheel. Please share photos of your solution that might work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Drill your existing brackets for a short extension mount your actuator to the extensions.
Or if you are going to make a yoke for the actuator bolt the yoke to your brackets and set the actuator in the yoke with a small pin.

If you can weld and build some mounting brackets, this should not be a bad job to get done. Mount the screw shaft down to reduce water contamination.

Here is a photo of an actuator I added and I built the brackets for it.

I adapted the ends to fit larger pins.

Just trying to put down a bit of a base so my blower doesn’t throw gravel around. Been going over the driveway with the rear blade and generally squashing the snow down a bit.

Chim, nice job on the yellow fiberglass holders, very ingenious. Going to copy that idea. Stanley in Md.

Here is my current setup. I also have a large capacity snow bucket, regular bucket, rear blade and rear facing snow blower. Hoping this setup is the best for my conditions. This year will tell the tale.

Your rig looks like it means business.

I was cleaning up the shop and just sold these four little guys this past week.

This 3.75 cubic yard snow bucket left with my NH telehandler last October.



along with my JD Gator and shop built snow blade...




...this 10 foot rear mount blade...




and these two loaders....




And I am very happy to say this is all I have left for snow removal today...
