I turned the sway blocks flat side out like Mitch's and took the 1" spacers out but left the shims in. Leaves about 3/4" of sway which is about 2" at the blower. I may add another shim but I'm ready for the snow now.

Mike I missed your original post. Just curious what model tractor it's mounted on and the width of the blower.
 
Ok thanks. How does that setup work for you as far as the reverse speed ? We have a 1650 gas, a 1750 diesel, and a 1755 diesel. For some reason the 1650 seems faster than the other two as far as reverse speeds. The bigger tractors seem to be quite a bit slower in reverse.
 
Haven't used it on the Oliver yet. It has the high speed trans which is a little slower and hydra power but it's on 16.9-38s, should be OK. FIL bought the thing years ago and put it on an E3 for the live PTO. It had a hydraulic cyl for the cultivators and he cobbled up a hitch for the back but it hung out so far he had to chain the wheel weights on the front end. I used it behind a Ford 2000 a few times. It's a bit much for the Ford. It carried it fine but lacks the HP and live PTO and low reverse could be a little slower. If there's more than 6 inches on the full width it can't push. I have some bad drifting and to open up a lane I would back in till it slowed down then pull ahead and back in again, and again, and again. No picnic but when there's no more room to plow it's all I can do. NE Ohio snow belt. I'm hoping I don't have to invest in chains.
 
I have a blower that looks the same but is 96". I ran it some with a 1655 last winter. It seemed like an ok match. It would slow the tractor down before anything broke on the blower. After a long stretch of blowing I noticed the snow on the pto clutch housing was melting and steaming. Not sure if maybe it was making the clutch slip a little.

Was wondering cause I posted a while back about a blower I bought. I haven't posted about it lately as I am still working on it. Found some places that were thin and real rusty so I cut them out and welded new steel in.also cleaning it up for some paint. I know I am running out on time but have been working a bunch. Lake Erie is never kind and can turn in a few days and I know you know what I mean. Can't wait to get it done and try it. Do you have other Oliver's ?
 
My first Oliver, three Cockshutt COOPs, though. I bought the 1550 three years ago and thought it was ready to use. HA! Replaced the steering shaft and bearings, both spindles, wheel bearing/seals, repaired the brakes and PTO clutch, rebuilt the water pump and fixed some other things. Thought I had it ready last fall. Put the blower on and it would only lift at full throttle and not all the way up, only 500 psi. Then I went through the hydraulic system. Pump was within limits but the seal was blown so I took a chance and put a seal kit in it. Started using it on the MoCo and baling and it worked fine until July and a shift rod broke. Got that fixed so here we are. First time I'm using the 3 point. Email me if you want to see pictures of some of the damaged parts. Don't want to bore the other guys here.
 
I have a 6 ft version of that blower on my 540 Cockshutt. Works good. I also have used it on the 35L and 550 Cockshutt. 35L is the best as it backs up so slow. I found with the Cockshutt Wagner loader on this 540, I only used the blower twice last year. Good luck with the 1550. They are a nice looking tractor I always thought.
