Additional information

This chute control housing, part number 731-08845A, encloses and supports the chute control components so adjustments operate smoothly and stay properly aligned. A secure housing helps protect internal parts from snow, ice, and debris during operation.

If the chute control feels loose, binds during adjustment, or components are exposed or misaligned, the housing may be cracked, warped, or damaged. Broken mounting points or excessive flex can also interfere with reliable chute control.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Position the housing correctly around the chute control components, secure all mounting hardware evenly, and confirm the control moves freely without interference.
