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 hairpin clip (#12). Slide the three-
point hitch (#2) into the top sleeve on the snowblower body and hole in place with
a 1" x 4 3/8" pin (#7) and a hairpin 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 bolts, 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
st
hole second hole, etc.)
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).
f) NOTE: A deflector hydraulic cylinder and hose kit is included as standard
equipment on all 108” snowblowers.
