Removing the discharge chute- why not a locking nut?

You answered your own question!

"MBAs of the world, unite!"

We need to invade their annual suare and give everyone of them a giant wedgie and shove their faces in dog doo.

I also believe that anyone who designs any mechanical device or vehicle should be forced to service them for a year, so they'll know what SHOULDN'T be done and where they SHOULDN'T cheap out.

what are you going on about.... I just finished snow blowing 8", sheezzzz

I live down below Tampa, Fla. and it's 56 degrees right now. Projected low tonight is 49 degrees. I grew up in Conn. and don't really miss the snow at all. Today reminds me why. I feel your pain.

Another form of retainer would be more expensive to purchase and install. The shaft would have to have a hole in it or threaded.

Just make sure there no kids or pets around that can get hit with thrown rocks and debris. Thats why the deflectors are there. You hold them up with a bungee cord.
