5.  Mounting Snowblower on Tractor:

- Mount the snowblower 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" (102 mm) 
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 tractor engine 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" (6 mm) key way. Slide the yoke onto the gearbox shaft with the 1/4"  
(6 mm) key supplied. Lock the yoke in place with the 1/2" x 3" (13 x 76 mm) hex bolt and 
lock nut fitted through the groove in the gearbox shaft. After tightening the bolt, insert and 
tighten the 3/8" (10 mm) 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 out or separate with the snowblower 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" (102 mm) 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 (965643) bolts to the gearbox assembly using 1/4" x 3/4" (6 x 19 
mm) hex bolts. Hook one end of the spring (960135) 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.
