96” Allied Snowblower

SNOWBLOWER

This manual is for 96" Allied Snowblower with a quick coupling hitch. With this hitch, the
blower can be mounted on a tractor with either a quick hitch or the standard three-point
hitch. All 96" Allied snowblowers have a sealed oil bath gearbox. The snowblower is
the push type and will mount to a tractor with 540 rpm PTO. It is supplied with category
2 pins with conversion bushings to category 3 available. This 96" wide snowblower
comes with hydraulic chute control as standard equipment. A hand crank chute control
is available. There is a shear bolt on the auger and on the PTO shaft to protect the
machine from damage if a large object is picked up. Any smaller objects in the snow
will be thrown with it and could cause serious injury. Do not let anyone stand behind the
tractor in the area of the discharged snow.

Replace safety signs immediately
should they become damaged, torn or
illegible. Obtain replacements from your
authorized dealer using the part
numbers shown.

96” Allied Snowblower

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not operate the blower in the fully raised position. The three-point
hitch on some tractors rises high enough to cause the PTO shaft to bind.
This can cause damage to the PTO shaft and/or to the hitch and pins.

2. Depth of cut can be partially controlled by tilting the blower forward or
backward. Adjust the tractor quick hitch so the snowblower is just slightly
tilted back when resting on the ground.
CAUTION: Excessive backward tilt may cause the "U" joints to flutter
resulting in PTO shear bolt failure.

3. Run the blower at low rpm to check operation before blowing snow.

4. The snowblower has two shear bolts to protect the tractor and blower in
case a large object enters the blower. PTO shear bolt - two 5/16" x 1"
(Grade 8); Auger shear bolt – 5/16” x 1 ¼” (Grade 5). Shear bolts should
be fastened with a lock nut or two jam nuts. These bolts must be kept
tight to prevent wear of the bolt and bolt holes.

5. Never run PTO shaft at over 600 rpm.

6. Chain Tension: Slack on the lower side of the chain should be 3/8” to ½”.

7. Lubrication:
a) The spout clamps and rings should be periodically lubricated with gun
grease.
b) PTO shaft universal joints and square shaft slide should be greased
daily.

c) Regularly oiling the chain will significantly increase the life of the chain.

d) The grease fitting on the hydraulic spout swivel arm should be kept
lubricated.

e) Gearbox - Use any 80-90 gear oil or multigrade with 80 minimum.

8. Periodically check all bolts for tightness. The bolt holding on the fan and
the bearing bolts are of particular importance.

9. Danger: Always stop blowing for servicing or unplugging. The PTO
Should be disengaged before dismounting from the tractor.

10. Caution: Always check to see that both ends of the PTO shaft are
securely attached as per instructions every time you are preparing to use
the Snowblower.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d

11. Shear Sprocket: The shear sprocket (#24) should be checked at the
beginning of every season to make sure it will spin freely. With time this
sprocket could corrode and seize which will not allow the shear bolt to
break if something jams in the snowblower auger. Clean to loosen if
necessary.

12. When replacing bearings or tightening a loose bearing collar, always
tighten collar in the direction of shaft rotation using a center punch or a
similar tool.

96” Allied Snowblower

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fasten the two quick hitch arms (#57) to the main body. Use eight 5/8” x
1 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Note: Lift arms for quick
coupling hitch are 30 ¾” long versus 35” for the standard three point hitch.

2. Bolt the quick hitch (#56) to the snowblower body using two ½” x 1 ¼” hex
bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Fasten to the lift arms using three 5/8" x
1 ½” hex bolts on each lift arm. Insert a 1" top link pin at the top and two 1
1/8" lift pins at the bottom of the hitch.

3. Bolt the hitch cross brace (#2) underneath the two quick hitch arms using
two 5/8" x 1 ½” hex bolts, lock washers, flat washers and hex nuts.

4. Mount the discharge spout (#3) using the spout clamp (#51) bolted to the
spout ring on the snowblower. Lubricate the spout ring and clamp.

5.

d) Use a standard 8" stroke cylinder (20 ¼” min., 28 ¼” max. pin
e) NOTE: A hydraulic cylinder and hose kit to control the spout

6. Hand Crank (Option):

Hydraulic Spout Swivel:
a) Mount the swivel arm (#36) onto the swivel pin welded to the back

corner of the fan housing using a 1" ID flat washer (#37) and a 3/16"
x 1 ½” cotter pin (#52).

b) Wrap cable (#35) around spout and clamp to the ends of the swivel

using ¼” cable clamps (#16).

c) With the spout turned forward and the swivel arm centered with the

spout, clamp the cable to the spout cable anchor using another
cable clamp. Ensure that the spout is not jammed and that there is
no slack in the cable.

centers).
deflector is available as an option.

a) Fasten hand crank assembly (#50) using two ½” x 1 ¼” hex bolts,

lock washer and hex nuts.

b) Thread cable (#53) through hole in hand crank to even lengths and

wrap around the tube to each side of the hole four turns in opposite
directions.

c) Turn spout to center forward position and clamp cable to cable

anchor on far side of spout using clamp (#16).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

7. Mounting blower on tractor:
a) The pins supplied with the snowblower are for a category 2 quick

hitch. The quick coupling hitch has two holes both at the top of the
hitch and at each lift arm. When using a quick coupler, the pins
must be in the inside set of holes. Use the outside set of holes with
a standard three-point hitch.

b) Using tape or a bright colored marking pen, mark on the outer

shields 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.

c) 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 3/8" key
way. Slide the yoke onto the gearbox shaft with the 3/8" 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.

d) Check that the PTO shaft does not bottom or separate with the

blower in the extreme high and low positions. A longer optional
PTO shaft is available if the standard shaft is too short. Check for
free movement of all parts in various raised positions; particularly
the PTO shaft.

e) NOTE: Excessive U-joint wear and shear pin failure may result if

the tractor PTO angle exceeds 20 °. The drawing below gives an
approximate way to check this angle. With the PTO half extended,
the tractor output should not be over 32 inches high. Use 34 inches
if the PTO is nearly fully extended and 30 inches if it is nearly
compressed.

8. PTO SHIELD
All snowblowers are supplied with a PTO shield (#61). To install, remove
the two rear bolts at the top of the gearbox (#38). Bolt the PTO shield to
the gearbox by the hinges using these same bolts. A utility spring (#62)
keeps the shield in place. Hook one end of the spring in the hole in the
shield and the other end to the hole in the brace under the gearbox.
CAUTION: Do not run the snowblower without this shield in place.

REFILLING GEARBOX WITH OIL:
If the gearbox requires refilling with oil because of repairs to the gearbox,
add oil to the level shown in drawing. Check the level regularly using the
plug in the lid. The correct level is even with the bottom of the plug.
