Driveline Maximum Extended Length
Figure 1-9
Driveline Maximum Allowable Length
Refer to Figure 1-9:
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of profile tubes by not
less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown. Once
assembled, measure and record maximum allowable
length here. ________
3. Attach driveline to the implement. Refer to
4. Without removing the support blocks, continue with
Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-10:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up
or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break and
1. Start tractor and raise implement slightly off the
support blocks used to
on page 18. Drive forward until
the implement is clear of the support blocks.
2. Slowly and carefully lower and raise the implement to
ensure drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the
tractor do not contact the implement’s frame. If there
is an interference:
a. Back implement over the support blocks and
lower it onto the blocks.
b. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
24804
Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
Maximum Allowable Driveline Movement
Figure 1-10
c. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the
implement.
d. Make any other necessary corrections.
e. Repeat steps 1-2 to verify the implement does not
interfere with the tractor.
3. Start tractor, raise implement fully up. Back
implement over the support blocks. Do not lower
implement onto the support blocks.
4. Without changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor
5. Check to make sure driveline does not exceed any of
the limits listed below:
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum length
recorded in step 2 under
•
Driveline angle does not exceed 25
o
above
horizontal.
6. If driveline exceeds maximum allowable length or
25 degrees up:
a. Adjust tractor 3-point lift limiter to a height that will
keep the driveline within the recommended limits.
b. If the 3-point left lever does not have a lift height
limiter, make a mark with tape or other means to
indicate maximum lift height.
7.
Start tractor, raise implement slightly higher than the
support blocks, and drive forward enough to clear the
support blocks.
8. Lower implement to the ground and shut tractor down
