7.5 Check the angle of the universally-jointed drive shaft.
The universally-jointed drive shaft (2) transmits the power of the tractor to the intermediate
bearing (1). To avoid damage to the machine and ensure optimal power transmission, the
bending angle (α) of the universally-jointed drive shaft (2) in the area of the intermediate
bearing (1) should be between
α=170–190 degrees . The less the bending angle (α) deviates
from 180 degrees, the less the wear on the components.

„
Determine the bending angle of the universally-jointed drive shaft (α) in the area of the
intermediate bearing.
ð
If the bending angle is α=170–190 degrees , power transmission of the universally-
jointed drive shaft is ideally set.
ð
If the bending angle is not α=170–190 degrees power transmission of the universally-
jointed drive shaft is not ideally set and this could cause damage to the intermediate
bearing.
„ To reduce/increase the bending angle of the universally-jointed drive shaft, the
powertrain on the intermediate bearing must be set,
refer to page 72 .
7.6 Drive train: Adjusting height
The bending angle on the universally-jointed drive shaft ( refer to page 72 ) is set via the
powertrain.
