Additional Information

The snowblower chute control housing, part number 731-07656A, holds the chute control components in place and keeps them aligned during operation. It provides a stable mounting point so movement at the control transfers properly to the chute.

You might find the chute no longer responds smoothly, feels sloppy during adjustment, or shifts position unpredictably. Another sign can be visible cracking or separation in the housing that allows the control components to move out of alignment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The housing is typically mounted near metal panels and fasteners, so work gloves can help protect your hands while removing or installing the part. Make sure the housing is secured evenly and the controls move freely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
