Additional information

This 2-way chute control mounts to the snowblower handle area and connects to the chute linkage so you can direct snow left or right during operation. Part number 984-05044 helps keep chute adjustments responsive while clearing driveways and walkways.

If the control bends, binds, or wears at the connection points, chute movement can become stiff or inconsistent. You may notice difficulty turning the chute, limited adjustment range, or the chute not staying in the selected position.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. After installation, confirm that the linkage moves freely through its full range and tighten all fasteners securely.
