Solved that problem some time ago, wish JD would do something like this with all their snowblowers, makes storing them much easier too!
49 chute control & cozy cab
How the heck do you get the chute control rod through the cab, lol. There's just a 1" hole in the small front panel on the cab. Looks like I'll have to cut the steel rod and come up with a way to connect them again, which may come in handy anyway when storing the thrower. Could cut a slot in the panel too. Curious what others have done though.

I did grind a flat area on the rod going into the sleeve so that the allen sets would hold it without spinning when the chute gets hard to turn.
Bought the collar and had local metal shop weld it up since I don't weld.
Well if all you get is one in a lifetime, I guess that's it for me!! :ROF :ROF
Sure makes it a lot easier to store and handle, looks like that will do the trick.
