Snowblower Chute Deflector Question???

[Rancho C Don]

A L2052-1 62" Snowblower came with my '99 L3600. When I hooked the blower up this winter I noticed that the chute moved from left to right VERY fast. I don't know if that was normal or could it be missing the flow restrictors that go in the hydraulic hoses to the motor? (I'm away from my "new" tractor and can't check if they are inline.) Would missing flow restrictors cause the too quick movement?

Thanks,
Don

I put a flow restriction on mine (they ain't cheap). Eventually, I found I could feather it and move it slowly so I took it off (it looked ugly).

Yes it should have them

I ordered the 2 flow restrictors 2 weeks ago, just in case they are missing. Like I said, I am away from my machine & can't check now. I was just wondering if the fast banging back & forth movement of the chute was due to the missing restrictors. Hope so!

Mingy, the restrictors were cheap. 5 bucks apiece. And they go into the hose connectors so they can't be seen without removing the hydraulic hose.

Thanks,
