I've been looking for a snowblower for some time and bought a Schulte 7400 3pt snowblower on Friday that was manufactured in 2004-2005 time frame based on the serial number. Looks to be in great shape as almost all the paint is still on the the cutters/collectors if that is what you call them. The only downside I see is it has a 3 blade thrower up into the chute. I have 3 questions I was hoping folks could help me with. First, can I replace the 3 blade for a 4 blade thrower? Second is whether this model can be converted to hydraulics? It looks like it has a mounting area along side the chute. The last question is whether anyone knows where I can get a owners and maintenance manual for this unit?
Appreciate any info that can be shared.
John

When you reach the main page for Schulte
just slide the cursor to the find a dealer link
and go from there to find a local dealer.
There is no point in changing the impeller to
a four paddle impeller as your tractor horsepower
and how you operate it is what is going to rule
how the snow caster operates.
Do not expect to drive fast in reverse unless you
have a very light snowfall accumulation.
IF YOUR GOING TO DO ANYTHING:
Line the chute and spout with slick sheet material.
Purchase one of Clarence's snow blower impeller kits
for large snow casters. He has a money back guaranty
for them so no worries there.
Buy a gallon of Fluid Film and a pump sprayer for the fluid film 50/50 mix to
coat the interior of the snow caster
The Kiddy roll up sleds are perfect as all you have to do is heat them a little
with a heat gun and push them into place then drill the bolt holes through the
plastic and metal of the chute and spout.
Attach it with it with nuts, washers and blue Loctite to hold the bolts and nuts.
Remember you can clear snow operating with half cuts faster than full width cuts.
