I would be forever grateful if someone can solve this problem I have.
I have an older Erskine Rear PTO snowblower. I refurbished and painted it to kinda match my 4115 John Deere.
Problem is I can snowblower all afternoon no problem. If I turn off the PTO for 2 - 3 minutes then back on , starts up great.when I stop the blower for 5 minutes or so while cleaning up with the bucket. When I turn the blower back on , SNAP , there goes another driveshaft shear cut bolt. The unit is garaged at 56 °f
So now , obviously, everything is locked up tight. I return to the garage and an hour or 2 later go examine it and find No rocks and now everything spins freely with no sounds of rubbing anywhere. There are drain holes behind the impeller.
I bought this from my brother who run it 3 years and never cut a shear pin ! What's happening ?
