Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hi Everyone:
When the chute on my 1024 is all the way to the right or left, I get a facefull of snow.  I seem to remember, a long time ago, discussion on this forum about some sort of side extenders for this problem, but couldn't bring anything up with a search.  I see new Ariens have a deeper U-cross section to their chutes.  Does anyone (Snowman) know if/how I could find the extenders?
Thanks in advance, great forum -- I lurk all the time.

What is your model and serial number? I think what you are referring to is from a few years newer than your unit.

Hey thanks everyone but, I think Snowman rules.  The model is 924117, serial 001338, delivered 11/23/2002, and if I remember correctly, it was a leftover from the year before.
It has been a great machine with only routine maintenance, but this year I want to go completely through it, new belts, friction wheel, these extenders if I can come up with something
and I'm adding drift cutters.
Thanks again.

The right side bolt-on chute baffle was for the 1st generation THF chute produced in 2003. The chute was later made deeper. Your unit used the prior lower trajectory chute which isn't a candidate for this baffle. In those days chutes rotated a little farther than they do today (on many brands). With certain snow and wind conditions it's quite possible someone, especially taller folks, could get a faceful if the chute is turned to it's extemity of rotation.

Thanks a lot Snowman, guess I'll live, or maybe I'll fab something myself to see if it helps.
