Check Driveline Minimum Length
Figure 2-3
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 2-3:
1. With driveline attached only to the 3-point implement,
remove outer driveline (tractor end) from inner
driveline to separate the two profiles.
2. Park tractor and implement on a level surface.
3. Raise implement until its gearbox input shaft is level
with the tractor’s power take-off shaft.
4. Without changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor
down using
5. Lower park stands to the lowest position allowed and
secure them in this position with the wire retaining
pins. If park stands are not resting on the ground, add
support blocks under the park stands to keep the
gearbox input shaft level with the tractor’s output
shaft.
6. Attach outer driveline to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft. Refer to steps 6-7 under
7.
Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other.
If dimension “A” is greater than or equal to 1" (2.5 cm),
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
page 18. Otherwise continue with step 8.

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.
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.
Driveline Shortening
Figure 2-4
Refer to Figure 2-4:
8. If dimension “A” was less than 1" (2.5 cm), shorten
driveline as follows:
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.
b. Measure 1" (2.5 cm) (
“B2”
dimension) back from
the inner driveline shield and make a mark at this
location on the outer driveline shield.
9. Remove outer driveline from the tractor power take-
off shaft and inner driveline from the implement’s
gearbox shaft.
10. 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).
11. 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).
12. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
13. Continue with
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
Check Driveline Maximum Length
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. ________
