OK, here is my idea. Rather than using the lever to raise and lower the blower, I was hoping to use the actuator. In this picture, I could attach the actuator to the frame, and then add a bracket where the lift arm lever is. This should get me the up/down movement I need.
Problem is, because the blower needs some free play to float across the terrain, which I would not get from the actuator, how do I build in some slack at the bottom of the stroke?
Any advice and suggestions greatly appreciated.
