bx2816 Snowblower.

[Downeaster]

I love almost everything about the BX2816 snowblower except the manual chute control. The rod that comes
back for your right hand to turn, is always catching on my gloves, and I find it annoying. I was thinking of a knob that would thread on to the end, where you could just spin it right or left and it would remain contained in your
hand like the knobs we use on the steering wheel. Maybe some ones knows of such a knob, or has created a
something similar.

I would check out McMaster Carr , they have a large selection of hand wheels that could be adapted.

I know about the glove getting caught!!
Fed up I simply used one of those 'knobs' and mounted onto my riding blower chute crank.
The knob has a nice bearing inside, unscrews from the steering wheel mounting plate. Slid onto the crank shaft and hasn't fallen off in 2 years.

if you pop the center 'cap' , the screw is inside....

Odd, as that is exactly the knob I have on my steering wheel. I will pick up another and That should work.
