No problem with the stuff the highway snow plow put in end of driveway either. Every thing worked great. Other than it doesn’t throw snow very far. Be nice to have another ten feet distance.

My chute turning mechanism also seems fine. No idea why, but it doesn't get stuck much.

If you want to throw further get the turbo version Noel!

Where do I get one Eugen ???????????????

I think it's called a Berco.

Was playing with my shute control tonight, running it back and forth and closely watching the coil. It's clean right now, hasn't seen any snow yet this year.
The main sticking point is this cotter pin. The pin slides in and out a little, occasionally the loop extends far enough that it hits the shute flange. I tried opening the pin up a little to tighten it up but couldn't. Actually made it worse, was time for supper, will deal with it another day.

Something does not look right . @Timj The coil is suppose to be welded to the rod at both ends and there should be a washer between the cotter pin an the support bracket . It looks like the end of the coil is worn off . I am putting mine back together today and will take picture of the coil before and after .

Yep it looks like the PO was in there I can see weld on the spiral (upper left corner of the picture. I also see flatstock or possibly small angle iron running the length of the center rod
