Does anyone know if there is a Remote Cap Deflector kit available to retrofit an Ariens that's a few years old?  I'm referring to the function where you can tip the chute cap upwards or downwards from behind the blower.  Hopefully I've used the correct name for it.

I've got an Ariens Sno-Thro, model no. 932035 - 724.  It was a year 2000 or 2001 model, I think.  I can post a picture if that would help.

Thanks for any help/links.

I found the original on Parts Radar -- part no. 72405300, which shows the breakdown of all the individual components...

But I'm still curious if there's any kind of retrofit kit available.

This model has no remote chute cap kit available. This unit is a "Compact" which has a different chute than large units and was never equipped with a remote cap as standard.

Thanks Snowmann.  You're saying the chute itself couldn't accomodate a retrofit due to it's slimmer design?

I wonder if there are any aftermarket solutions for something like this.
