Ariens 5501215 Chute Crank Bushing Snow Blower Part

Product Description

The ARIENS 5501215 is a chute crank bushing designed as an OEM-style replacement component for Ariens snow blower discharge chute assemblies. The bushing serves as a wear interface between the chute crank mechanism and its mounting point, allowing smooth rotational movement of the discharge chute during operation. When this bushing wears or cracks, chute direction control becomes imprecise or stiff. Replacing it restores proper chute function and prevents accelerated wear on surrounding hardware. This part is installed by technicians servicing Ariens snow blower chute control systems.

This bushing is used in the chute crank assembly of Ariens snow blowers, specifically at the pivot or bearing interface within the discharge chute rotation mechanism. It is a small but critical component in maintaining reliable chute directional control during snow clearing operations. Technicians replacing worn or broken chute crank components should inspect the surrounding hardware for additional wear before completing the repair.

Key Features

• OEM-style replacement bushing for Ariens chute crank assemblies
