Additional Information

Snowblower chute rod 747-05116 links the chute control handle to the chute gearbox, allowing you to rotate the chute and control the snow discharge direction during operation. It provides a mechanical connection that enables smooth and accurate chute positioning.

If the chute fails to turn, moves inconsistently, or becomes difficult to adjust, the chute rod may be bent, worn, or disconnected. Replacing the rod restores full chute control and ensures consistent snow direction adjustment.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the damaged rod, align the new one with the chute control and gearbox, and secure it with the existing hardware. Verify that the chute rotates freely after installation. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during the repair.

Order this OEM chute rod to keep your snowblower ready all season long.
