Additional information
This snowblower chute support bracket, part number 790-00330C, mounts to the snowblower frame or housing and provides a stable attachment point for the chute assembly. It helps keep the chute aligned and supported so it moves smoothly when you adjust direction or pitch.
If the support bracket bends, cracks, or becomes loose, the chute may not stay in the intended position or could bind during adjustment. You might notice the chute shifting under load, uneven movement, or difficulty holding the chute where you set it.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Chute components and bracket edges can have sharp surfaces, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the bracket and chute are aligned correctly and all fasteners are tightened securely before using the snowblower.
