    Chute rotation kit

    Posted by Ed K on 16th Dec 2024

    Installed it in August 2024, First use was over the last week when the Lake Michigan Lake Effect snow machine kicked in. Have had to blow three time this last week. I only blew the driveway twice last season. Kit works smoothly and has a lot more than 270 degrees rotation. If I am not careful, I can hit the windshield on my TekTite Cab on my 1026R. With two sets of Orifaces installed, the control is slow enough I don't over shoot the position I am looking for.

    The chute rotation kit is awesome, kit went together perfectly with a little help from the you tube video. This should come on the snowblowers from John Deere. It’s way better than the original cable system that it came with. The powder coat looks great too. I’m very happy with it. Thank you

    HYDRAULIC CHUTE ROTATION KIT FOR JOHN DEERE 54" SNOWBLOWER

    Posted by John G on 20th May 2024

    I ordered the John Deere hydraulic chute rotation kit last Nov. but due to circumstances I was not able to install it until now. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the kit. This is one of the best mods for the 47/54-inch snowblower since the enclosed chain case. The kit installed quite easily by following your installation video. I did encounter a few minor hiccups. I found that without the half-link the chain was too tight to install the master link and with the half-link the tensioner is at maximum travel. After it's used a bit and the chain has a chance to stretch I am going to try removing the half-link as I noticed the chain tension loosened a bit just from testing. Initially my chute was extremely tight to the point I could not rotate it by hand. But the motor seemed to have no trouble turning it once fully assembled. I lubed up all the sliding surfaces with some Fluid Film . I also found the standoffs for the top cover seemed a bit too short. The cover was making contact with the top of the tensioner bolt and I could not install the three securing nuts. I replaced the three 2-inch threaded standoffs with 2-1/2 inch threaded standoffs and everything then fit perfectly. I've read several reviews where folks found the 2-inch stand-offs were just a tad short for good nut thread engagement. I also installed the bottom cover plate which really puts the finishing touches to the install. I want to compliment you on designing and fabricating such a professional kit. I'll have to wait for winter to give it a full workout but I have no doubt it will work fine. Good riddance to those goofy pulleys and cables. :-) -- John

    Chute rotation kit

    Great idea, for those on the Forums who complained about the pricing, this should probably sell for at least $1,000.00 considering the component costs and labor involved. Kyle must be just breaking even on this. He sells this whole system for the cost of just the cylinder on the cable system

    Chute Rotation Kit

    Posted by Tom on 15th Feb 2024

    This kit has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is OEM or better and it was a direct bolt-on with no modifications required. This is how these snowblowers should have come from the factory!

    This is the mod I've been looking for - awesome addition

    Posted by Corey M on 30th Jan 2024

    If you need more chute rotation, don't mess with pulley ratios, just buy this mod. It's very nicely designed, easy install and will give you way more rotation than pullies - and no more mouse nest.

    Chute rotation kit is worth it!

    Posted by Tim on 24th Jan 2024

    I bit the bullet and ordered the chute rotation kit for my JD 47” snowblower, and I am so glad that I did! I was using the modded pulley system prior to this purchase and seemed to have issues with it not staying centered. I don’t have any problems now. The parts in this kit are heavy duty, and should last the life of the blower. Installation was pretty easy. The rotation range is perfect, 100% better than the standard or modded pulley/cable system. No worries about failure now. This chute mod is worth every penny!

    Chute Rotation Kit

    Posted by Jack Walker on 2nd Jan 2024

    Deckdolly chut rotation kit for JD 47/54" snowblowers is an excellent product. Installation video is very helpful. Parts are well-packaged for shipping. The hydraulic motor with chain drive is a superior solution. Longer screws to replace 6 stock self-tapping screws were needed, but not provided in kit, for my 2023 47" to accommodate washer-shimming the chute hold-down clips. If I didn't shim the clips, the chute would not rotate at all.
