Ariens 4322700 Nylon Crank Bushing Chute

Product Description

The ARIENS 4322700 is a nylon crank bushing designed for the chute deflector assembly on Ariens snow blower equipment. This bushing serves as a wear component within the chute rotation mechanism, reducing friction between the crank and its mounting point to allow smooth directional adjustment of the discharge chute. Nylon construction provides resistance to impact and moisture, which are common conditions in snow removal applications. This is an OEM replacement part intended for installation by equipment service technicians or experienced power equipment service professionals familiar with Ariens snow blower chute assemblies.

This crank bushing is applicable to Ariens snow blower models that use a manual or cable-driven chute rotation crank system. It is a common wear item that requires replacement when the chute becomes difficult to rotate, develops excessive play, or shows visible wear or cracking at the crank pivot point. The part is identified by the Ariens part number 4322700 and is sourced as a direct OEM replacement component for lawn and garden power equipment chute assemblies.

Key Features

• Nylon construction resists moisture, corrosion, and impact common in snow removal conditions
• Functions as a low-friction wear interface within the chute rotation crank assembly
• OEM replacement part ensures proper fit within the original chute mechanism
• Restores smooth chute directional adjustment when worn bushing causes binding or excessive play

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a power equipment service technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any disassembly of the chute or crank mechanism to prevent accidental engine startup. Remove the existing worn or damaged bushing from the crank pivot point and press or seat the replacement nylon bushing fully into position before reassembling the crank and chute hardware. Inspect all surrounding hardware for wear during the service interval.
