The electric spout turner on my snowblower is blowing fuses...again.

The reason the fuses are blowing is that the spout is too hard to
turn. Maybe there is a geared speed reduction that is out of lube, or
something like that. Might be worth taking a look before putting in a
lot of effort to change out the motor.

Duh. No ****. Works great when dry and lubed. Go out in -20 temp. and
40 wind snowstorm and it breaks. I've basically got the above
mentioned wiper motor. I'm tired of fuzting with it. Give me more
power Scotty.

I will shear pin it, but it needs to be able to crush ice on the
gears.
