Snow Removal Equipment Latch

This is a chute flange keeper that is commonly used on snowblowers. It is black and made of durable plastic. The purpose of the chute flange keeper is to ensure the chute can properly rotate along with the chute adapter. The chute flange keeper is connected to the flange on the chute. There are typically three chute flange keepers on a snowblower.If a chute flange keeper is damaged, broken, or missing, it will need to be replaced. A screwdriver and work gloves will be needed to handle the job. A screwdriver can be inserted into the equipment to pry off the old chute flange keeper. Put the new flange keeper in place and force it into position using vice grips. Users can also snap in one end and use a pair of pliers to get the other side to fit. Reassemble all parts before using the tool again.This is an authentic OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual component. The chute flange keeper is designed for use with snowblowers manufactured by Yard-Man, Huskee, MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Craftsman.

Snowblowers are equipped with a trigger that allows the user to direct the snowblower on a path to the left or the right while plowing. With regular use of the equipment, the trigger can wear out, loosen, or become damaged. When the trigger is not working correctly, the operator will have no control over which direction the machine goes, which can pose a safety risk and cause poor performance. Signs that the trigger in the snowblower is beginning to wear down or is already damaged are a lack of resistance when applying pressure or no response from the snowblower when the trigger is directed in either direction.The trigger replacement can be done quickly and easily with a pair of pliers. The process includes removing the pin where the existing trigger is. Install the new part in the place of the old one. Re-insert the pin. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes.This is a genuine OEM MTD trigger for various snow blowers model types. It is compatible with many different brands of snow machines, including Craftsman and Troy-Bilt. The part is sold individually. Each trigger is made of durable red plastic.
