Additional Information

This chute worm gear attaches inside the snowblower s worm gear bracket and enables the chute to rotate when you turn the control handle. If your snowblower s chute no longer moves smoothly or feels stuck, the worm gear may be worn out and need replacing.

Installing a new gear restores proper chute direction control, helping you throw snow where you want it. During installation, disconnect the spark plug wire and wear work gloves to protect your hands. Align the gear carefully inside the bracket and tighten the mounting hardware securely to prevent movement during use.
