Additional information

This snowblower chute crank eye-bolt rod, part number 747-05157, connects the chute crank assembly to the discharge chute, allowing you to rotate the chute by turning the crank handle. The eye-bolt design helps maintain a secure connection while providing controlled movement during adjustment.

If the rod bends, loosens, or wears at the connection points, the chute may not rotate smoothly or may fail to respond when the crank is turned. You might notice binding, uneven movement, or a crank that spins without moving the chute.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Chute components and threaded connection points can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the eye-bolt is properly threaded and secured so the chute rotates freely through its full range.
