This left chute slide directs fertilizer from the hopper outlet toward the left-side spreading disc. It mounts at the base of the hopper, where it controls the flow path before material contacts the spinning disc. A worn or misaligned slide causes uneven distribution patterns and streaking in the spread swath. The original part matches the contour of the hopper outlet and the mounting bolt pattern, so no shimming or adapter is needed to restore the designed flow angle. When reinstalling, ensure the slide seats fully against the hopper gasket to prevent leakage.
