We used a couple bolts on the top and bottom of the chute with hydraulic cables to the third hydraulic hookup in the back. We have used this for 4 years with out any problem. Not as pretty as the frontier but works great.Attachment 289190

look into Gerbing heated outer wear..> 12v heated jacket, gloves, pants, and insole liners. Stay toasty warm at zero degrees, love it when plowing snow or riding the Harley in the winter. minimum i usually wear a heated jacket liner and heated gloves with a temperature controller, been using it for over 10 years now

stay warm

Thanks to Rockgod and his find on the Frontier hydraulic chute control I now have one on my machine. I ordered it from my John Deere dealer and it came in yesterday. I put it on this morning. Very simple, very quick install, and it works much better than I anticipated. I have it attached to my 3rd SCV and use the buttons on my joystick to control it. Life is good.....

Awesome, dschuffert looks real good!

Glad we got to this before the snow flies. We are truly spoiled! :D

Sounds like you are from SW Minnesota

Hiya,

You cannot imagine how difficult it has been to get a dealer in my area to order this kit. Finally found a dealer that would order it after 4 different ones. (and it still took 30 minutes on the phone to figure out what part# to order even though I gave them the part # off the JD configuration site and JDparts.com site) Thought I was all set however, they called back and and left a message that they won't order it until I get them the serial number off the blower.....

If anyone that has purchased one from a dealer maybe you can PM me the dealer contact info and the name of a person there that understands how to put in a part number and press order in the JD system.....

Here is my dealer, he ordered it no problem with the part number that Rockgod posted: Chicago, Illinois - ATV, Utility Vehicle, Mowers, Snow Removal, Utility Tractors, Generator, Trimmer, Tillers | Shorewood Home and Auto - John Deere
708-672-7511. They have been great for anything I try to do that is semi-fabricated or completely fabricated. Let them know that Dan sent you.
