The last snow here in Iowa, I was attacking the EOD and the chute fell off of my older deere 824. I am missing on of the chute clamps, I ended up finishing the blowing by using a pair of trusty vice grips to hold the chute in place. Any one know a hardware store equivelant I could use? Found these on ebay but 14$ for some chunks of metal (free shipping though). I have heard that there might be a Ariens look a like. Any ideas.
