PtO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down

the tractor and securely block the cutter

in this position.

• Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to

PTO shaft.

• Hold driveline sections parallel to one

another and measure back 1” from yoke

of each shaft and place mark on oppo

site section. cut this length off with

a saw.

• Round off all sharp edges and debur.

• thoroughly grease then reinstall the

driveline.

• Recheck for proper operation.

Engagement check Procedure

• With the driveline attached, position the cutter to the point where the telescoping driveline

is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.

• mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

• Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.

• measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. this length is the amount

the driveline profiles were engaged.

• If the engaged length is less than 12” for a CV driveline and less than 6” for a non-CV driv

eline, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft. Consult an

authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.

NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must

be made aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging
the driveline.
