Additional Information

The snowblower chute deflector rod and spring assembly, part number 1736363, links the deflector control to the chute and uses the spring to maintain proper tension during adjustment. This helps the deflector stay in the intended angle for efficient snow discharge.

If the deflector does not move when you adjust the control, feels loose, or drifts out of position during operation, the rod and spring assembly may be worn or stretched. Binding, slack, or uneven resistance when adjusting can also indicate the spring or rod is no longer functioning properly.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The rod and spring route near metal brackets and moving linkage, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Secure the rod and spring properly and confirm smooth deflector movement before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
