Additional information

This upper chute rod, part number 7028152, links the control mechanism to the snow discharge chute, allowing you to rotate the chute and aim snow where you want it to go. A straight, properly connected rod keeps chute adjustments smooth and predictable.

If the chute will not rotate fully, feels loose when you move the control, or does not respond at all, the upper chute rod may be bent, disconnected, or worn. Visible deformation or excessive play in the linkage can also point to a problem.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Handle the rod carefully during installation to avoid bending it, and make sure all fasteners and clips are secured so the chute responds correctly.
