SHORTENING DRIVELINE

1.Move snowblower up and down to get shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Leave snowblower in mini- mum distance position. Install jack stands under snowblower for support.

2.Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to tractor and gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.

4.Measure from end of upper shield to base of bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-1/4" to dimension

(A).

7.Repeat step 4 through 6 for other half of drive.

8.File and clean the cut ends of both drive halves. Ensure the drive halves slide smoothly together.

Do not run tractor if proper driveline engagement can- not be obtained through these methods.

Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks driveline to PTO shaft.

MACHINE BREAK-IN

Although there are no operational restrictions on the snowblower when used for the first time, the following items are to be checked.

A. After operating for 1/2 hour:

1.Check all nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Tighten to their specified torque level.

2.Check drive chain tension. Adjust as required.

3.Check that auger, fan and spout are in good condi- tion.

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.
