c. Measure the distance from the PTO of the tractor to the input shaft of the cutter’s gear
box.
d. With the drive shaft compressed (pushed together fully), measure the overall length of the
shaft.
e. If the length of the compressed drive shaft is greater than the length between the PTO and
input shaft, then the drive shaft must be shortened to the latter length.
Please note
that equal amounts must be removed from each section of the drive shaft.
