3. Lower lift arms should be an equal distance off the
ground. If they are not, adjust one of the arms until
they are both an equal distance off the ground and
lower 3-Point clevis are both level with the ground.

link in or out until upper hitch pin is vertically above
lower hitch pins as shown in Figure 1-3.
Driveline Installation
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor
off, remove switch key, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before dismounting tractor.
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Do not exceed 540 rpm power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result.
1. Park tractor and mower on a level surface. Slowly
engage tractor 3-Point lift lever to raise mower until
gearbox shaft is in line (level) with tractor power take-
off shaft.
2. Support mower deck at this height with support jacks
or blocks to keep mower from drifting down.
3. Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut
tractor engine off and remove switch key.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to “Ordering
Replacement Parts” on page 22.
IMPORTANT: The power take-off shaft and gearbox
input shaft must be aligned and level with each other
when checking driveline minimum length. A driveline
that is too long can damage tractor and implement.
Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 10 & Figure 1-4:
4. Remove gearbox shaft protector (#8) from gearbox
input shaft (#3).
5. Slide inner driveline universal joint with long cone
shield (#9) over mower gearbox shaft. Secure
driveline with yoke locking device.
6. Slide outer driveline universal joint with short cone
shield (#10) over tractor power take-off shaft. Secure
driveline with yoke locking device.
7. Move driveline yokes back and forth to ensure both
ends are secured to the shafts. Reattach any yoke
that is loose.
Check Collapsible Length
Figure 1-4
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-4:
1. Make sure driveline is installed properly before
checking driveline collapsed length (Refer to
“Driveline Installation” instructions on this page).
2. With driveline level, measure 1" ( “B” dimension)
back from universal joint shield to end of outer
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-4.
a. If measurement is less than 1", shorten driveline.
a. If measurement is 1" or more, skip to “Check
Driveline Maximum Length” on page 12.
NOTE: If driveline is too long to fit between tractor
and mower, skip to “Shorten Driveline” on page 12.

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, when connecting to a different
tractor, and when alternating between using a quick
hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More than one
driveline may be required to fit all applications.
