Additional Information

The snowblower chute mast, part number 684-06696, mounts between the chute and the auger housing and provides a stable pivot point for chute rotation. It keeps the chute properly positioned so directional adjustments work as intended.

You might notice the chute binds during rotation, sits unevenly on the housing, or wobbles when you try to change direction. Another indicator can be visible bending or damage that prevents the chute from turning smoothly.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The chute mast may have exposed metal edges and requires handling the chute assembly, so work gloves can help reduce the risk of cuts or pinched fingers during installation. Align the mast carefully and tighten all fasteners securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
