the tractor pto and the other end to the chipper rotor
shaft. line up the two halves parallel to each other.
If the shaft of one half extends past the end shield of
the other half as seen in Figure 2.8, you will need to
shorten the driveline. If your driveline is not too long,
skip to step 7.

Measure the distance from the end of the driveline tube
to the bottom of the end shield of the other driveline half
(dimension “a” in Figure 2.8). Measure and mark the
driveline tube 1-9/16” inward from dimension “a.”
