New 2360 Snowblower question.

[PBuotte]

I got a new old stock 2360 snowblower. Heard a few people have had PTO driveshaft issues. Anything special to look for so it doesn’t come off durning use. I might get my 1st chance to use it tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks in advance,
Pete

I,ve been using my B2370D blower for over 10 years, and no issues. Keep the joints in the driveshafts greased up, and make sure the coupler is locked onto the mid pto of the tractor. The front short driveshaft which is bolted to the quik attach has to be set up to specific dimensions, so make sure you follow the directions for assembling that correctly. Also make sure that the bolts with the T handles that tighten to keep the quik attach tight on the front frame of your tractor stay tight. I have found that I have to snug mine up a couple of times when I first put it on in the fall. To get extra torque on mine, I use a long 3/8" box end wrench to give me extra leverage. I set both T handles to a vertical position, so I can give them a quik glance which lets me know if they are starting to loosen up. Once my tractor has reached operating temp, If there is more than a couple of inches of snow, I run the RPMs at 3000 on my BX2370.
