How to Replace the Chute on a 10/28 Craftsman Snow Thrower

The chute on your Craftsman snow thrower serves several important functions. It is designed to channel the discharged snow at a sufficient height and distance so as not to cover the machine or operator with snow. It does this by capturing the discharged snow as it leaves the main impeller and funneling it out and away from the snow thrower. It also ensures that the discharged snow is blown in the proper direction. To accomplish this function, the chute can be rotated in any direction, except backward. The snow thrower chute will typically last for the life of the machine. There are occasions where replacement is needed, such as damage to the base ring gear. This gear is integral to the chute. If it is damaged, the chute will not rotate properly, making a replacement necessary.
