MAINTENANCE
DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the
U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure MntP-R-0049 & MntP-R-0050. Do not force grease through the
Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch
connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for
lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every 20 hours. Figure Mnt-R-0252.
DRIVELINE SHIELD REMOVAL
The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly
has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 20
hours. To remove the integral shields for replacement or repair remove metal screw in area close to shield
cone. Grab cone and tube and twist tube relative to cone until white tab of bearing aligns with opening in shield
cone. Pull on tube to remove complete shield half from bearing and drive half. Repeat procedure for other half
of drive.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
