REPLACING/REPAIRING

WARNING

To prevent accidental engine starting when replacing parts or repairing the ma- chine, remove the key from the ignition switch and disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or the spark plug wire(s) [gasoline engines].

CAUTION

ALWAYS use genuine factory replacement parts. Substitute parts CAN result in product malfunction and possible injury to the operator and/or others.

Gearbox Replacement

Remove and replace the gearbox as follows:

1.Remove the gearbox cover. Two (2) bolts (one on each side) fasten the cover to mounting tabs on the frame.

2.Loosen the set screw fastening the PTO U-joint to the gearbox shaft and slide the PTO shaft off the gearbox shaft.

3.Remove the two (2) bolts, oblong washers, and Keps nuts that fasten the gearbox to the snow- blower frame.

4.Remove the gearbox from the snowblower frame.

NOTE: The flexible coupling spider will be loose; be sure to keep track of it. A good way to do this is to tape it in place on the flexible cou- pling half that is attached to the drive shaft.

5.Replace the gearbox by reversing the removal procedures.
