snow blower chute seems to skip while turning left to right. usually have to manually move it.. could this part be the problem? up and down is fine.. seems the gears may be stripped out in a certain spot
David For model number 31ah55q5711 - November 8, 2023

Hello David, Thank you for the question. We suggest removing the Gear Set to check for wear or damage. We also suggest checking the gears in the Chute Rotation Gearbox. We hope this helps!

1. removed old gear box & chute. Replaced chute (easy) just slips on in place of old one.
2. attached new gear box (easy) one bolt with wing nut & one bolt with cotter pin.
3. Lined up chute & gear box to fit (medium) had to undo gear box cotter pin/bolt & loosen other bolt & quite a bit of wriggling and a few mallet taps.
