Hi,

I have a 2009 Ariens ST27LE and I put a snow cab on it.  The only problem is the handle for the chute control is located outside the snow cab so when I want to move the chute I have to walk outside of the cab.  Is there anyway to change this?  Can I just purchase an Ariens handle that goes all the way into the cab?  Also, does anyone know the size of shear pins this unit has?

Thanks!

Ariens makes model #7240800 with  these features:

"Fits any Ariens two-stage snowthrower."
"Zip open front fits over crank handles".

As Paul pointed out, this one may work better with the manual ice-drill chute control.
It doesn't show up on a search of Ariens web-site, but it's available at:

I just cut a slit in my Classic Deluxe snow cab to allow it to fit over the chute control rod on my Simplicity. I just melted in some holes on each side of the slit to use similarly to shoe lace holes and run a piece of wire through the holes to keep the slit closed. Real easy fix.
