SNOWBLOWER
This manual is for model #740 & #840 snowblowers with an open gear gearbox and for
model #840G snowblower, which has a sealed oil bath gearbox. When ordering parts,
specify model number and serial number. The snowblower is the push type and will
mount to a tractor with a 540 rpm PTO. It is supplied with category 1 pins and also
bushings, which convert the pins to a category 2. A category 1 quick hitch fits on all
three sizes. A category 2 quick hitch also fits #840 and #840G models. This 84" wide
snowblower comes with a 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.
