1. Park tractor on a level surface. Slowly engage tractor
3-point lift lever to raise seeder until gearbox input
shaft is in line (level) with the tractor power take-off
shaft.
2. Support seeder at this height with support jacks or
blocks to keep seeder from drifting down.
3. Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut
tractor off, and remove switch key.
Refer to Figure 1-14:
4. Pull outer and inner drivelines profiles apart.
5. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
profile and reassemble the two profiles.
Refer to Figure 1-11 on page 15:
6. Remove gearbox input shaft protection cover (#5).
7. Pull back on yoke lock collar (#8) and slide yoke end
of slip clutch over the seeder’s gearbox input shaft.
8. Release lock collar (#8) and continue to push slip
clutch yoke onto the gearbox input shaft until lock
collar snaps in place.
9. Collapse driveline (#7) by pushing the non slip clutch
end (#9) toward the gearbox.
10. Pull back on yoke lock collar (#9) or push in on yoke
push pin (310) and slide yoke over the tractor’s power
take-off shaft.
11. Skip to “Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on
this page if driveline is too long to fit between tractor
and implement. Otherwise, continue with step 12.
12. Release lock collar (#9) or push pin (#10) and
continue to push outer yoke onto the power take-off
shaft until lock collar snaps in place.
13. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
ensure both ends are secured to the tractor and
seeder shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-14:
1. Make sure driveline is properly installed and level
before checking driveline collapsible length. (Refer to
“Driveline Installation & Hook-Up” on page 14.)
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
“Lubrication Points” on page 50.
IMPORTANT: The tractor’s power take-off shaft and
seeder gearbox shaft must be aligned and level with
each other during installation of driveline.
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.
Driveline Shortening
Figure 1-14
2. With driveline level, measure 1" ( “B” dimension)
back from universal joint shield to end of outer
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-6 on page 13.
3. If measurement is acceptable (1" or more), skip to
“Check Driveline Maximum Allowable Length” on
page 17. If measurement is less than 1", then
shorten driveline using instructions provided below.
Shorten Driveline
Refer to Figure 1-14:
1. Unhook driveline from tractor power take-off shaft
and pull outer and inner drivelines apart.
2. Reattach outer driveline to tractor power take-off
shaft. Pull on inner and outer drivelines to be sure
universal joints are properly secured.
3. Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other:
a. Measure 1" ( “B” dimension) back from outer
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 1" ( “B” dimension) back from the inner
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the outer driveline shield.
4. Remove driveline from tractor and gearbox shafts.
5. Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
( “X” dimension). Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the inner shaft ( “X1” dimension).
6. Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
( “Y” dimension). Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the outer shaft ( “Y1” dimension).
7. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
8. Continue with “Check Driveline Maximum
Allowable Length” on page 17.
