It'd be nice to be able to keep the chute of my new (used) 52" TC 2 raised while storing it in the garage and occasionally be able to raise it while mowing. I have a couple of staked trees in the backyard that are spaced so that the chute needs to be raised. I was thinking of drilling a hole in the end of the chute and attaching a bungee that I could use to raise and lower it but I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has a more elegant solution?
