  If the PTO shaft shear bolt on your Woods Snow Blower keeps shearing, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the PTO shaft angle does not exceed 15 degrees. Second, the shear bolt might be too soft; replace it with a grade 5 shear bolt (GKN), a grade 10.9 bolt (Comer 20 series), or a grade 8.8 bolt (Comer 40 series). Finally, excessive tilt on the snowblower can cause this issue; reduce the tilt by adjusting the upper 3-point link.

  If your Woods Snow Blower augers keep plugging, it could be due to a couple of reasons. You might be operating the tractor at too high a ground speed; try reducing it to allow the augers to clear better. Also, insufficient fan speed can cause this; increase the tractor PTO speed to 540 RPM.

  If your Woods Snow Blower isn't discharging snow properly, several factors could be at play. First, ensure you maintain a PTO speed of 540 RPM. Second, the augers might be overloaded with snow; reduce your ground speed. Lastly, if the snow is wet and sticky, reducing your ground speed can allow for better aeration of the snow.

  If your Woods Snow Blower tends to dig or float on the snow, it's likely due to improper tilt or skid shoe adjustment. To fix this, adjust the upper link on the 3-point hitch to level the blower. Additionally, ensure the skid shoes are adjusted to be even with the cutting edge.
