SNOWBLOWERS

This manual is for model #1080 snowblowers with a combination three point and quick
coupler hitch. All model #1080 snowblowers use an open gear drive. The standard
model is a push type which will mount to a tractor with 1000 rpm PTO only. This model
uses a chain drive reducer in the welded gearbox assembly which runs in an oil bath. A
direct drive 540 rpm model is also available. It is supplied with category 2 pins as well
as conversion bushings to category 3. This 108" wide snowblower comes with a
hydraulic chute control as standard. A hand crank is not available. There is a shear
bolt on the auger and two 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not operate the blower in the fully raised position. The three-point hitch on
some tractors raises 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 the cut can be partially controlled by tilting the blower forward or
backward. Adjust the top link of the tractor hitch so the snowblower is just slightly
tilted back when resting on the ground.
may cause the “U” joints to flutter resulting in PTO shear bolt failure.

3. The snowblower hitch should mount on three types of tractor hitches. A standard
category 2 uses the pins supplied without bushings. A standard category 3 uses
the pins supplied with the bushings. A category 3 quick hitch uses the pins with
bushings on the inside holes (holes are exactly 19” apart measured up and down.)

4. Adjust the lower link sway chains or blocks on the tractor to restrict movement of
the blower when operating.

5. The snowblowers may be purchased with either of two available spouts. Both
spouts have hydraulically controlled spout deflectors. The standard spout should
be suitable for all general snow blowing applications. The truckloader spout was
designed to blow snow directly onto the back of a truck. The maximum height of
the truck side you blow over should be approximately 10 feet.

6. Run the blower at low RPM to check operation before blowing snow.

7. The snowblower has shear bolts to protect the tractor and blower in case a large
object enters the blower. The PTO shaft uses two - 3/8" x 1" (grade 2) hex bolts
as shear bolts. The auger uses one - 5/16" x 1 ¼” (grade 5) hex bolt as a shear
bolt. Shear bolts should be fastened with a lock nut. These bolts must be kept
tight to prevent wear of the bolt and bolt holes.

8. Never run PTO shaft at over 1000 RPM.

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

CAUTION: Excessive backward tilt

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

10. Lubrication:

a) The spout clamps and rings should be periodically lubricated with gun

grease. This is particularly important on the truckloader spout which

turns harder than the standard spout due to the length and weight.
b) PTO shaft universal joints and splined 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 and discharge
spout should be kept lubricated.
e) Use any 80-90 gear oil or multigrade with 80 minimum in the gearbox
up to the level plug height.

11. Periodically check all bolts for tightness. The bolt holding on the fan and the

bearing bolts are of particular importance.

12.

DANGER: Always stop blowing for servicing or unplugging. The PTO

should be disengaged before dismounting from the tractor.

13. Shear Sprocket: The shear sprocket (#46) should be checked at the beginning
of every season to make sure it will spin freely. Clean to loosen if necessary.

14. When replacing bearings or tightening a loose bearing collar, always tighten collar

in the

CAUTION: Avoid raising or lowering snowblower under load. Doing so can

create excessive end pressure on the PTO shaft which could lead to bearing
failure on the snowblower.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Hitch Assembly: With lower hitch tubes (#3) turned as shown in drawing, slide

them into the sleeves welded to the main body. These tubes are adjustable to two
different positions. The correct position for each individual tractor will be
determined when mounting the snowblower on the tractor (see section 4). Start
with the tubes pulled out to the last hole. These tubes are connected to the
snowblower with a 1 ¼” x 5 ½” pin (#6) and a hair pin clip (#12). Slide the three­point hitch (#2) into the top sleeve on the snowblower body and hold in place with
a 1" x 4 3/8" pin (#7) and a hair pin clip (#12). Bolt the bottom of the hitch to the
ends of the hitch tubes using ½” x 2” hex bolts, lock washers, flat washers and hex
nuts.

2. Spout Assembly: Mount the discharge spout (#64 or #73) using the spout clamp

(#22) bolted to the spout ring on the snowblower. Lubricate the spout ring and
clamp. Mount the 5” stroke cylinder (#68) on the spout as shown in the drawing.

CAUTION: The ports in the cylinder are both 9/16" orb. Be sure that the

bottom edge of the deflectors are properly fitted in the guides before using the
hydraulic control.

3. Hydraulic Spout Swivel:
a) Bolt the cylinder arm base (#17) to the bottom of the hitch using 5/8” x 2”

hex bolt, lock washers and hex nuts. NOTE: There are three sets of

holes. The hole used to bolt on this base must match with the holes used

to assemble the hitch in the hitch tubes (i.e. 1
b) Mount the spout swivel (#16) onto the swivel pin welded to the back

corner of the fan housing using a 1 ¼” i.d. flat washer (#31) and a ¼” x
1 ¾” cotter pin (#32)

c) Wrap cable (#18) around spout and clamp to the ends of the swivel
using 3/8” cable clamps (#19).

d) 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
e) Use a standard 8” stroke cylinder (20 ¼” min., 28 ½” max. pin centers).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - Cont'd.

4. Mounting Blower on Tractor:
a) Mount the blower on a tractor with a category 2 or 3 standard hitch or a

category 3 quick hitch. The hitch as two holes both at the top of the hitch

and at each lift arm. When using a quick hitch, the pins must be in the

inside

point hitch. The lift arm pins also have a narrow spacing for category 2

and a wide spacing for category 3.
b) Using tape or a bright colored marking pen, mark on the outer shields of

the PTO 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. Slide the hitch in if necessary to keep

the PTO shaft in this operating range. Do not forget to change the

position of the cylinder arm (#17) by the same distance that you move the

hitch.
c) With the engine on the tractor shut off, attach the PTO shaft. The

tractor end has a 1 3/8" 21 spline end with a spring loaded locking collar.

The snowblower end has a clamp style yoke with a 3/8” keyway. Slide the

yoke onto the 1 ¾” jackshaft with the 3/8" key supplied. Lock the yoke in

place with the 5/8" x 3 ¼” 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.
d) 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.
