Murray 762222MA Snow Thrower Chute Assembly

I bought this to replace my shattered one on a Craftsmen blower model 536.887992 . If like me you have a stone driveway this will break . But I found if you pop rivet some thin sheet metal (ductwork panning) on the inside of this it will withstand the harsh treatment stones dish out .I live in the Northeast and have "load tested" my upgrade 3 times so far this season and it has exceeded my expectations .

Fits and works fine. Only trick to assembly is getting the two outer bolts fastened before the center bolt. Here are steps that might help:
1) Remove the current broken assembly and put aside the 3 nut and bolt sets.
2) Align the two furthest bolt holes of the new assembly to the snow blower. Best way to do that is to lay the chute over the hole (resist the temptation to setup in the final upright position). It should align easily in that horizontal position.
3) Put the two nut and bolt sets onto these outer holes loosely.
4) NOW standup the chute into the vertical position and align the back center hole.
5) Place the last nut and bolt set into the back and tighten all 3 not and bolt sets.

That seemed to be the best way to do this without damaging or modifying the chute.

Went right on with no problem. Bolted in place of the old one. Haven't used the snowblower yet, but I expect it will work fine.
