ATTACHING SNOW BLOWER TO
TRACTOR WITH A QUICK HITCH
Figure 3
1. Make sure the parking stand is lowered. To do this,
remove the round wire lock pin (item 9) from the
parking stand (item 8), lower the parking stand and
insert the round wire lock pin (item 9) under the
snow blower attachment tube.
2. Move the tractor into position in front of the snow
blower. Move back slowly and carefully, not allow-
ing anyone to be between the tractor and the snow
blower.
3. Turn off the tractor engine.
4. Install lower hitch pins and bushings:
•
For Cat 1, insert a 1-7/16" OD x 2-1/8" long
bushing (item 6) between the inner hitch plates
and secure with the pin and ring pin (items 2
& 4).
•
For Cat 2, insert a 1-7/16" OD x 3-3/8" long
bushing (item 5) between the outer hitch plates
and secure in the upper holes with the pin and
ring pin (items 1 & 4).
•
Repeat for the opposite side.
5. Insert a Insert a 1-1/4" OD x 1-7/8" long long bush-
ing (item 7) between the plates of the snow blower
upper hitch and secure with the pin and the linchpin
(items 3 & 4) provided with the tractor.
6. Make sure that the quick release latches are se-
curely closed. Lower the 3-Point so that the hooks
on the quick hitch are lower than the snow blower
pins and bushings. Reverse the tractor slowly until
the hooks are under snow blower pins and bush-
ings. Then, raise the 3-Point until the quick-release
latches snap on the pins with the snow blower bush-
ings to lock the system.
7. Adjust the snow blower using the tractor top link so
that the back of the snow blower housing is perpen-
dicular to the ground.
8. Raise the parking stand. To do this, remove the
round wire lock pin (item 9) from the parking stand
(item 8), raise the parking stand and insert the
round wire lock pin (item 9) over the snow blower
attachment tube.
9. Go to Driveline Attachment section for further
instructions.
CAUTION
■ Before connecting the snow blower driveline to
tractor drive shaft, make sure driveline is not
too long in raised, lowered and middle position.
If the driveline is too long it must be shortened,
to avoid damaged to tractor. See pages 13 to 15
for instructions.

NOTICE
■ If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline
and gearbox damage is possible when hooking
up the PTO driveline from the rotary snow blow-
er to the tractor. The front PTO driveline is long
enough to fit a variety of tractors. It is possible
that the front PTO driveline will need to be cut.
There will be NO benefit by cutting only one tele-
scoping section. Both sections of the driveline
must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.
■ If attaching with quick hitch, the distance be-
tween the tractor PTO and gearbox input
shaft will increase. Please follow the steps as
you would for a 3-point hitch to insure proper
engagement.
■ When attaching snow blower to multiple trac-
tors consider the drive length needed for each
tractor and whether the drive line will work in all
combinations.
■ WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS
TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or
cross bearing damage.
