1. Do not attach driveline to the tractor. Instead, make
sure it is removed or secured to the mower before
moving the mower to a level surface.
2. If parked on an uneven surface, start tractor and
move mower and tractor to a level, flat surface.
3. Continue to pull mower straight forward until the
driveline makes a straight line between the tractor
power take-off shaft and the gearbox input shaft.
4. Shut tractor down according to
“Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” on page 17 “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure”
on page 17.
Refer to Figure 1-6:
5. With driveline attached only to the cutter, remove
outer driveline (tractor end) from inner driveline to
separate the two profiles as shown in Figure 1-6.
6. If needed, attach inner driveline to the mower’s input
shaft. Refer to step 4 on the left side of page 19.
7. Attach outer driveline to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft. Refer to step 5 on the left side of page 19.
8. Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other
as shown in Figure 1-6. Measure dimension “A”.
•
If “A” is less than 1" (2.5 cm), continue with step 9.
•
If “A” is greater than or equal to 1" (2.5 cm), skip to
“Assemble Inner & Outer Driveline Halves”

IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long can bottom
out causing structural damage to the tractor and
implement. Always check driveline minimum length
during initial setup, and when connecting to a
different tractor. More than one driveline may be
required to fit all applications.

a. Measure 1" (2.5 cm) ( “B1” dimension) back from
outer driveline shield and make a mark at this
location on the inner driveline shield.

the inner driveline shield and make a mark at this
location on the outer driveline shield.
10. Remove outer driveline from the tractor power take-
off shaft and inner driveline from the implement’s
gearbox shaft.
11. Cut off non-yoke end of inner driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
( “X” dimension) and record.
b. Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the inner shaft ( “X1” dimension).
12. Cut off non-yoke end of outer driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
( “Y” dimension) and record.
b. Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the outer shaft ( “Y1” dimension).
