X590 Discharge chute “doohickey”
First off excuse my terrible photography. I wanted to make something that would keep the chute up for getting into tight areas. There is a square hole on the edge of the deck that I have this in. The magnet I bought is actually way too big to fit over that hole so I have it on the other side to hold the rod while not in use.
The rod itself is made from a 1/4-20 bolt with an over sized washer welded to a piece of 3/16 round bar ~14” long and a shorter piece to make it a T handle. If anyone wanted to try and make something like this, I’d use a 5/16 carriage bolt which is the size that fits that square hole I believe. It’s also long enough that I can reach down and flip the chute up while on the tractor.
TLDR; I’m bad at taking pictures in the moment, but my idea kinda works
