You'll need to measure 'full up.--full down' to get the stroke. In my case 4" was just a little under, 6" waaay too much.
Used a Korean made 'Hydroworks' model, cost was $49.95 CDN. So far 8-9 seasons of use doing 8-10 long driveways and 20 car parking lot.

This is the actuator I plan on ordering for my blower deflector on my new LX2610. I will have to fab up adaptors for the ends to connect to the chute. I was considering the hydraulic kit to connect to the third function but way overkill in my opinion. I have a linear motor on the blower that I have on the b7200 and works great.

You can match the actuator's length of throw to your specifec chute by the location of your mounting brackets. You may need to make one custome bracket or put a riser under them.
On my mount, when actuator is fully retracted, the chute deflector is almost straigt up (no deflection). When the actuator is fully extended, the chute deflector is just shy of fully deflected downward.
When your actuator is in the fully retracted position, mark both bracket locations that will give you your wide open or deflection of choice. With it fully extended and the base bracket in the same position, see if the extended bracket will mount in the first spot with the deflector in the fully deflected position (or your preferred spot). If it won't....you need to move the first two locations and try again.
If there's too much arc in the throw of the deflector and your actuator will hit the housing.....you'll need to make a custom bracket or put a riser under the factory bracket for more clearance. Then start over with step 1 again. It won't take you but a couple of trials and you'll have the proper locations and details figured out.
Doing it this way will have the actuator's own limit stops prevent it from trying to over extend/retract the deflector and either bending/breaking the mounts or your chute. The actuator puts a lot of force on the thin walls of the chute. I reinforced the mounting areas with a "wider metal plate" under each actuator bracket.

here's the ones I've used..
I was in a hurry and just used long 1/4-20 bolts ,washers, couple of nuts to fasten to the holes already in the chute sections...every winter I keep saying 'need to make it better', every spring,summer, fall ...'other' projects come up.. sigh... maybe THIS fall ?....
