Furrowers can be used to lay off rows for planting. Also,
many users find the Furrowers good tools for digging
potatoes. For smaller furrowers, seven-inch (17.78cm)
Shovel Steels are available; these can be used to lay
off small seed crops and for center row cultivation.
Sweep and Hoe Set-Up uses an improved Sweep in the
center and a right and left Hoe on the sides. The
Sweep comes in 8 (20.32cm) 10 (25.40cm) 12
(30.48cm) and 16 (40.64cm) inch sizes. The Sweep
clears the center of weeds and trash, while the Hoes
eliminate the majority of handwork close to the plants.
(Figure 31)
Adjustments: The Depth Wheels are used to set the depth
the cultivating tools penetrate and ground. Facing the
Depth Wheels, turn the Handwheels clockwise for
deeper cultivation and counterclockwise for shallower
cultivation.
OPERATING HINTS
Rows should be planted enough apart to accommodate
the Tractor and Tool Holder. Normal distance between
rows is 32 (812.8cm) to 36 (914.4cm) inches. Rows
should be planted farther apart for plants which spread
widely, unless you intend to shield theTool Holder so
plants will not be damaged.
SNOWBLOWER
LUBRICATION
All major bearings of the Snowblower that require lubricant
are permanently lubricated, or are lubricated from the
Tractor Transmission. However, the operator should
check the oil level in the Gear Box by removing the
upper plug,. Oil should never be low, add SAE 140
lubricant.
ATTACHING
The Snowblower Drive Housing mounts to the front of the
Tractor, using two bolts and two nuts. When attaching to
the Tractor, the Chute Control Crank should be attached
to the top Sprocket Housing Shaft of the Snowblower
with the Rubber Connector and two (2) Clamps which
are provided. See Figure 32.
The Crank should then be mounted to the Tractor left
Driving Handle with the Crank Support and Crank
Support Clamp.
Safe Snow Removal is No Accident
Improper use of snow removal equipment on the part of the
operator can result in injury. To reduce this possibility,
give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand.
Protect yourself and others by following these safety tips:
1. Stop Engine before removing obstacles, making
adjustments (except with the Control Crank), or when
leaving the operating position.
2. Disengage the Power Take off and wait until the Fan
stops before adjusting the deflector. Never direct
discharge at bystanders, or allow anyone in front of
machine - debris may be hidden in the snow.
3. Keep children and pets a safe distance away.
4. Do not allow children to operate machine, nor allow
adults to operate it without proper instructions.
5. Adjust height of skids clear gravel or crushed rock
surface.
6. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating in reverse.
7. Know the controls and how to stop quickly.
ADJUSTMENT
Discharge Chutes
:
to position the Discharge Chute, turn
the Control rank. The Discharge Chute will rotate
approximately 165 degrees from extreme left, through
the vertical position, to the extreme right.
As the Crank is turned, the Defector opening is also
rotated from the extreme left position through a forward
position approximately 180 degrees to the extreme
right position.
Deflector:
to provide accurate placement of the blown
snow near the Blower on either side or forward throw,
loosen the Large Wing Nut on the Deflector and adjust
the Deflector position.
CAUTION:
Be sure Engine is stopped and Attachment
out of gear and stopped.
Skids:
To raise or lower the Snowblower cutting edge,
first disengage the power take off and stop the Tractor
Engine. Then loosen the Skid Mounting Bolts and slide
the Skids up or down as desired, and retighten the
Skid Mounting Bolts securely. This adjustment can be
made more accurately if the cutting edge is placed on
blocks while the adjustment is made.
Reel Clutch:
the Reel Clutch is properly adjusted at the
factory. If it should become necessary to tighten the
Friction Clutch in the Reels, turn off the Tractor Engine,
disengage the Power Take Off, and after all movement
has stopped, block the rotation of the Fan. Now tighten
the large Nut on the right end of the Reel Shaft (as
viewed from the front of the Snowblower). See Figure
33.
