I have an Erskine Sno-King 3 point snowblower. I bought it from a school along with a tractor and I had seen the combination in action and the snow really flew out of this machine. It had to have been going 20 to 25 feet high and landing at least 40 feet away
Shortly after I got it I used it and it didn't work well at all. The snow only ended up going a few feet away from the snow blower. Well, it's many years later now and I still have the same tractor but I used my Oliver 1755 the other day and I could get the snow to go 3 feet in the air and ten feet away if I had it over 2000 RPM.
I have some questions.
1. The tractor that I bought with the snowblower has 540 and 1000 for the PTO. The guy that used it told me he always used 540 PTO, but I just can't believe that. He said the last time he used it it worked fine. The manual I have says it's a 540 gearbox, but I wondered if there's a chance he could have been using a 1000? I have to believe that would ruin the gearbox?
2. Is there any chance that the impeller is slipping, or the gearbox is slipping?
3. I was watching a few videos, it looks like a lot of people fill the gap between the impeller and the housing with various materials. Can anybody tell me what the gap should be for a properly operating snow blower?

Maybe you bought it from a friend who didn't know what kind of tractor it was, or perhaps (and this is every tractor fanatics dream) you stumbled across it in an abandoned field covered with weeds but intact. In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs! But pretty soon you'll probably need to tinker with it a bit and maybe buy a part or too. Having a manual is nice. But how does one go about dete
