Additional Information

Snowblower chute gearbox assembly 918-04933B mounts to the chute base and transmits motion from the chute control crank to rotate the discharge chute. This allows you to direct the snow where desired during operation for efficient clearing.

If the chute fails to rotate, moves unevenly, or binds during operation, the gearbox may be worn or damaged and should be replaced. Installing a new chute gearbox restores smooth, responsive control of chute direction and prevents strain on the control components.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the existing gearbox, position the new one on the chute base, and secure it with the proper hardware. Connect the control linkage and test chute rotation for smooth operation. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.

Chute gearbox assembly 918-04933B replaces part numbers 918-04933, 618-04933, and 918-04933A.
