5. Mounting Blower on Tractor:
- Mount the blower on a tractor with a category 1 hitch.
- Using tape or a bright colored marking pen, mark on the outer shield the position where
the shaft is completely pushed together and the position where you have a 4" overlap.
Watch these marks when moving the blower through all possible operating angles to see
that the PTO shaft stays within this range.
- With the engine on the tractor shut off, attach the PTO shaft. The tractor end has a standard
6-spline end with a spring loaded locking collar. The snowblower end has a clamp style
yoke with a 1/4" keyway. Slide the yoke onto the gearbox shaft with a 1/4" key supplied.
Lock the yoke in place with the 1/2" x 3" hex bolt and lock nut fitted through the groove
in the gearbox shaft. After tightening the bolt, insert and tighten the 3/8" socket set screw
supplied.
CAUTION
Always check to see that both ends of the PTO shaft are securely
attached every time the snowblower is used. This should always
be done with the tractor engine off.
- Check that the PTO shaft does not bottom or separate with the blower in the extreme high
and low positions. Check to see which of the four different hitch positions will allow you to
keep about a 4" minimum overlap on the PTO shields without bottoming out. This position
varies between different tractor models because of the different lengths of the three-point
arms. If the PTO shaft is still too long with the hitch fully extended, the PTO shaft will
have to be cut shorter. Check for free movement of all parts in various raised positions;
particularly the PTO shaft.
6. PTO Shield
- All snowblowers manufactured for the 1990 production and up are supplied with a PTO
shield. The PTO shield (#65) bolts to the gearbox assembly using 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolts.
Hook one end of the spring (#66) in the hole in the back edge of the PTO shield and the
other end of the spring in the hole punched in the edge of the gearbox assembly.
CAUTION
Do not run the snowblower without the PTO shield in place.
