PTO Driveline
PTO Driveline Length Check
NOTE: Due to variations in distances between tractor
PTO shafts and implement input shafts,
drivelines may need to be shortened or a
longer shaft may be required. When fitting the
implement to the tractor, the PTO driveline,
with telescoping sections, must be inspected.
When the sections are at the most
compressed operating position, the sections
must not “bottom out”. At its shortest length,
there must be at least 2 in. (50,8 mm) of
clearance between each section end and
opposite section end at the most compressed
operating position. When the sections are at
the most extended position, there must be
sufficient engagement between the sections.
At its farthest operating extension, a
minimum section engagement of 33% of shaft
length must be maintained.
PTO Driveline Bottoming Out Check
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position. (See
“Leaving The Operator’s Position” on page 76.)
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating components
have come to a complete stop before leaving the
operator’s position (if applicable).
Figure 135
1. Disconnect the PTO driveline from the tractor and
slide the PTO driveline together until fully retracted
(compressed).
2. Measure the retracted (compressed) length of PTO
driveline
[Figure 135] .
3. Extend the PTO driveline 2 in. (50,8 mm) from the
retracted length and place a mark on the inner guard
at the end of the outer guard
[Figure 135] .
4. Reattach the PTO driveline to the tractor PTO shaft.
5. Enter the operator’s position. (See “Entering The
Operator’s Position” on page 76.) Start the engine.
6. With the rear PTO DISENGAGED, raise and lower
the implement and watch the PTO driveline extend
and retract.
7. If the outer PTO driveline guard slides in (retracts)
over the mark at any point of travel, the PTO driveline
needs to be shortened.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Do NOT exceed the rated implement PTO speed.
• Stay clear of rotating driveline.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing and long hair away.
• Keep PTO shields and all guards in place.
• Disengage PTO, move the tractor controls to the
Neutral position, stop the engine and make sure
all rotating components are stopped before
leaving the operator’s position.
• Do NOT service the tractor or implement with
the PTO engaged.
• Do NOT service the implement in a raised
position unless properly blocked and with all
rotating components stopped.
• Disengage PTO for road travel.
