I tackled this project below last winter. This obviously is not my own idea but instead a plan comprised of others suggestions, ideas, experience and previous posts. Below is my journey installing an electric actuator for spout control (vertical movement) on a snowblower and the necessary wiring.
I apologize if this should have been posted in the attachments section and also for my previous attempt. I will try harder this time.:flag_of_truce:
