Have a new to me 425 with weather enclosure and 37 blower. It does not have a chute control and I was looking at the manual chute control and then I see that a guy on eBay sells a kit that's a mod and electric. Question is does anyone have the manual setup that has a weather enclosure and how does the wire run? Also does anyone have the eBay kit? Gets good reviews in other sites.. Here is my tractor and the two kits.

I went electric because the cable is not compatible with an X729 cab.
And that cable kit isn't cheap either.
I purchased components to rig mine up. His kit is most likely reasonably priced. The remote key fob kit sounds like a good idea, but how do you hold onto that while steering, swiveling the chute, etc?
Mine is hard wired, and I clamped the switch onto the hydraulic lever that swivels the chute. So I can swivel and move the deflector with my right hand.
Plug n play is good, and so is custom assembled. Just depends on what we want.
See my signature for my setup.

This should take you straight to it.

The actuator is their Light Duty, 35 lb force, 12 volt, 4" stroke, which is why the model is FA-35-S-12-4.
It uses the same holes in the chute the manual one would, so don't even need to drill holes for it.
