Additional information

This snowblower chute crank, part number 747-06196-0637, lets you change the direction of snow discharge by turning the crank handle during operation. It connects to the chute linkage and transfers rotational movement so the chute turns smoothly and predictably.

If the chute crank bends, wears, or breaks, the chute may be difficult to turn or may not move at all when the crank is rotated. You might notice stiffness, uneven movement, or a crank that spins without adjusting the chute.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Chute linkage components can have sharp edges or tight clearances, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the crank is properly aligned and secured so the chute rotates freely through its full range.
