frame. The tabs on the bottom of the hopper should

1. BEFORE ATTACHING THE DRIVELINE: attach the
machine to the tractor with three-point hitch system.
2. Raise and lower machine on three-point hitch to determine
the shortest possible working distance between the tractor
PTO shaft and the drive shaft of the machine.
3. Pull the driveline apart so the two pieces are separated.
Connect the piece with 6-splined connector to tractor
and the other piece to the machine.
4. Position installed driveline halves parallel to one another.
(Photo below is example of driveline overlap.)
5. On larger outer tube, measure back 1-1/4" (32mm)
from lower yoke shield and mark plastic tube. Repeat
this process for smaller inner plastic tube measuring
1-1/4" (32mm) back from upper yoke shield.
6. Remove driveline pieces (for ease of cutting) and cut
ONLY the outer and inner plastic tubes.
7. After cutting plastic tubes, measure 1-9/16" (40mm)
from the ends of both newly cut plastic tubes.
8. Mark the inner steel shafts and cut both shafts at 1-9/16"
(40mm) as shown in photos below.

9. File both shaft ends to remove sharp edges and slide
the driveline pieces back together.
10. When you have confirmed that the driveline is the
correct length for your tractor, connect the driveline
to the chipper rotor shaft using key stock and two set
screws in the owner’s kit.
11. Connect the opposite end of the PTO shaft to the
tractor.
