Driveline Shear Bolt Replacement

4.Apply one pump of grease to each driveline u-joint grease fitting.

5.Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic driveline shield bearings.

6.On the shear pin driveline, lubricate the shear yoke with grease to prevent galling.

7.Periodically check the yokes on the front PTO. Make sure the bolt and nut are tight and the yoke is not moving on the gearbox shaft.

PTO drivelines are equipped with shear bolts to protect against overloads.

■Always use approved shear bolt as replace- ment part. Using a hardened bolt or shear pin may result in damage to driveline or gearbox.

WARNING

■Before proceeding, read and follow all safety rules.

1.Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft.

2.Remove gearbox shield by removing thumb screws.

3.Remove damaged bolt from yoke on input shaft of snow blower gearbox.

4.Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft. Install new shear bolt and secure with lock nut. Tighten to torque specification given on Torque Chart.

5.Reinstall gearbox shield and reconnect driveline to tractor PTO shaft.

Chain Maintenance

The auger chain should be inspected every 25 hours. New chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary to check the chain tension to prevent flopping around, thus causing potential problems. Chain tension is pre- set at the factory. If chain becomes excessively loose, it may be necessary to readjust the idler sprocket, Fig- ure 9.

Figure 8. Drive Chain Lubrication

1.Apply grease to drive sprocket grease zerk (See Figure 8).

2.Apply grease or oil to the drive chain regularly, especially after using (See Figure 8).

NOTICE

■Replacement chain should be only high quality original equipment chain for longer life.

1.Remove jackshaft shield (17) by removing thumb screws (32).

2.Loosen cap screw and nut on idler sprocket.

3.Move idler sprocket (33) to obtain 1/4 inch sag along bottom span of chain (46).

4.Re-tighten idler sprocket and reinstall jackshaft shield.

SB84S, SB54S, SB74S, SB64S specifications

Woods Equipment Company has established itself as a leader in the manufacturing of high-quality landscape equipment, and the SB series of landscape rakes—specifically the SB64S, SB74S, SB54S, and SB84S—stand out for their exceptional performance and innovative features.

The SB series is designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial users. These models range in width from 54 inches to 84 inches, allowing for versatility in handling various tasks, whether you're maintaining a small garden or clearing a large lot. The difference in size also caters to different tractor sizes and horsepower ratings, making it easier for users to select a rake that fits their specific requirements.

A notable feature of the SB series is its durable construction. Built from high-strength steel, these rakes can withstand rigorous use in various environments. The rakes are further equipped with heavy-duty tines that are engineered to be resilient against breakage while providing optimal soil leveling and debris clearing performance.

The SB rakes utilize a patented Quick-Tatch mounting system. This system allows for fast and easy attachment and detachment from tractors, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. Additionally, the rakes can be adjusted to various angles, enabling users to efficiently handle different tasks such as grading, levelling, or scarifying soil.

One of the key characteristics of the SB64S, SB74S, SB54S, and SB84S models is their ergonomic design. The rakes are built with user-friendly controls that facilitate operation. Operators can change the angle and height with ease, which contributes to overall efficiency while reducing the physical strain typically associated with manual adjustments.

The rakes also feature a heavy-duty frame that supports consistent performance across various job conditions, whether working on flat ground or uneven terrains. Enhanced stability during operation means users can trust that the rake will provide uniform results without compromising the integrity of the landscape.

Another technological advantage of the SB series is its versatility in compatible attachment options, which allows users to employ the rake for various applications beyond standard landscaping, including gravel leveling and road maintenance.

In conclusion, the Woods Equipment SB64S, SB74S, SB54S, and SB84S rakes offer a combination of strength, technology, and user convenience, making them essential tools for landscape management. Their wide range of sizes and features ensures that there is a suitable option for every need, allowing for efficient and effective work across diverse environments.
