I own a BX2370 and recently purchased a BX2750D snowblower. I can not figure out how to attach the chute rotations shaft to the tractor. The instructions to not list the information for mounting onto a BX2370. It looks to me that I need another bracket to support the rotation shaft. Has someone noticed this before?

Mine has a small loop that bolts to the FEL control lever. Shaft goes through that. Take shaft apart and thread one of the two pieces through it.
Kind of a cheapie set up, but it works.
Not a great picture, but you can see it here.

Thanks RCW. that is real cheap. I mounted mine like that last night also but there is enough free play in the FEL lever that it make the chute rotation shaft feel very loose. Surely these a better option.
There sure is a better option. Part Number 77700-05888 from Messicks, as referenced in this thread - scroll all the way down to the bottom of the first page:

I already got it and installed it myself, haven't used it yet because it hasn't snowed, but it mounted right up and is VERY solid with both bolts tightened down. Stays mounted even with FEL on (I have BX2360 and a BX2750D SB myself). Looks like it's going to work just fine.

I had forgotten about that option, and searched the part number. Didn't find it at Messicks or Coleman today
Yea no picture when I ordered it either, but the correct part was delivered:

It really is a much more elegant solution than the 'ring'. I really disliked that thing.

Hello guys,
I'm pretty late to the party but thanks for all your help with this! This is my first post so hopefully I get it right. I have a Bx2370 with a Bx2750d blower and I hated the cheap ring bracket it came with so I upgraded to the 77700-05888 bracket. Everything we searched through the dealers did not indicate it was the correct bracket for my tractor however it does bolt right on and it looks great. 1 of the bolt holes in the floor pan was covered with an orange sticker. I made a small modification to the bracket because it originally left the rotating handle sitting a little to close to the bucket control lever for my liking. I drilled another bolt hole to move it over which made everything fit just the way I want. As far as I can tell from my measurements, it won't interfere with the FEL. Bolting it up was a pain because the outside bolt is inside of the cast aluminum support located underneath the floor pan. I've read you can use a longer carriage Bolt if you can't get it tight. Here's some photos for anyone who is interested in this upgrade. The pictures show the bracket mounted in the factory holes and then again after it had been moved over.
