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 66.)
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating
components have come to a complete stop before
leaving the operator’s position (if applicable).
Figure 121
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 121] .
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 121] .
4. Reattach the PTO driveline to the tractor PTO
shaft.
5. Enter the operator’s position. (See “Entering The
Operator’s Position” on page 66.) 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, engage parking
brake 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.
