Checking Driveline Minimum Length

Refer to Figure 2-4:

1. Start tractor and slowly engage 3-point to move

lower arms until the gearbox shaft is approximately

level with tractor's PTO shaft.

2. Slide inner yoke of the driveline over the gearbox

shaft and secure with locking collar.

3. Slide outer yoke of driveline over the tractor PTO

shaftandsecure with lockingcollar. Skip to step 5on

page 12 if driveline fits between tractor and gearbox.

IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with

multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s

PTO is set for 540 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline

breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not

exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while

operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 2-3 below.

IMPORTANT: Always check driveline minimum

length during initial setup, when connecting to a

different tractor and when alternatingbetween using

aquickhitch and astandard3-point hitch. Morethan

one driveline may be required to fit all applications.

IMPORTANT: Itis necessaryto aligning thetractor’s

PTO shaft level with the gearbox shaft when

checking driveline minimum length. Too long a

driveline can damage tractor, gearbox and driveline.

4. The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to

fit between tractor and gearbox. Shorten drivelineas

follows:

a. Raise or lower 3-point lower arms until gearbox

and tractor PTO shafts are approximately level

with each other. Securely block mower frame in

this position.

b. Settractorinpark,shuttractorengineoff,setpark

brake and remove switch key.

c. Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in

Figure2-4.Attachouterdrivelineuniversaljointto

the tractor PTO shaft. Attach inner driveline

universal joint to the gearbox shaft. Pull on each

driveline section to be sure universal joints are

secured to the shafts.

d. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other to

determineiftheyaretoolong.Theinnerand outer

shieldsoneachsectionshouldendapproximately

1" short of reaching the universal joint shield on

the adjacent section (see “B” dimension). If they

are too long, measure 1" (“B” dimension) back

from theuniversaljointshieldandmake a mark at

this location on the inner and outer driveline

shields.

e. Cut off inner shield at mark (“X” dimension). Cut

same amount off inner shaft (“X1” dimension).

Repeat cut off procedure (“Y”&“Y1” dimensions)

to cut outer driveline half.

f. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

5. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer

driveline shaft and reassemble the two shafts.

6. Attach inner driveline yoke to the gearbox shaft.

7. Attach outer driveline yoke to the tractor's PTOshaft.

8. Thedrivelineshould nowbemovedbackand forth to

insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and

gearbox PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.

9. Hook one of the driveline safety chains in a hole on

the outer driveline yoke shield and the opposite end

to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation.

10. Hook the second driveline safety chain in a hole on

the inner driveline yoke shield and the opposite end

to the mower to restrict inner shield rotation.

11. Start tractor and raise the Grooming Mower just

enough to remove blocks used to support the mower

frame in step 4a above.

12. Slowlyengage the tractor’shydraulic3-pointto lower

the mower. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance.

Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if required.

IMPORTANT: Two small chains are supplied with

the driveline. These chains must be attached to

outer and inner driveline yoke shields and to the

cutter deck and tractor to restrict driveline shields

from rotating.
