Hi all,
I was given an old 'pull along'-type snowblower that had been sitting in a fence line for a long, long time. The PTO shaft was seized, as was the collar, plus it was about 2" too long for my MF230 anyways.
I was able to get the old shaft off, and am planning to buy one today to replace it. I measured from the edge of the PTO to the face of the bearing on the blower, and I get a measurement for 54" on what would be the shortest distance. It might get a few inches longer when raised to the transport position.
Would I be OK to get a 48" PTO shaft then? That would leave 42" - 35" of 'overlap' at all times.
Or do I have to be more precise about size?
Also, my tractor (MF230) is a 30hp tractor, which means I should be able to get away with a series 4 shaft. However, I'd still like to use this blower if I upgrade to something in the 60hp range someday, so should I look at a series 5 shaft?
