Driveline Assembly

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each

end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to

rotate uncontrollably.

The main driveline is a constant velocity type. Pull-collar

and bolted couplers are used to secure the driveline to

the tractor and implement gearbox, respectively.

Refer to Figure 1-5:

1. If wings are not lowered, start tractor and lower both

wings fully down.

2. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine,

and remove switch key before dismounting tractor.

3. Remove hex whiz nuts (#4A) and shipping

bracket (#2). Discard shipping bracket.

4. Slide driveline (#5) off end of shipping bracket (#1).

Set driveline aside for attaching to splitter box later.

5. Reattach hex whiz nuts (#4A) to carriage bolts (#3)

and tighten them to the correct torque.

6. Remove hex whiz nuts (#4B) and shipping

bracket (#1). Discard shipping bracket.

Reattach hex whiz nuts (#4B) to carriage bolts (#3)

and tighten them to the correct torque.

Refer to Figure 1-6:

8. Unsnap bell door (#2) from each side of bell housing

and rotate down.

9. Remove and discard rubber shaft protector (#1) from

splitter gearbox input shaft.

10. Remove locknuts (#3) and bolts (#4) from bolted

coupler end of driveline (#5).

11. Attach bolted coupler end of driveline (#5) to splitter

gearbox input shaft with removed 5/8"-11 x 2 3/4"

GR8 hex head bolts (#4) and locknuts (#3). Tighten

locknuts to the correct torque.

12. Collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor end of

driveline toward the splitter gearbox.

13. Rest driveline (#5) on driveline support saddle (#6).
14. Rotate bell door (#2) on each side of bell housing up

and snap into place.

IMPORTANT:

The driveline must be lubricated

before putting it into service. Refer to Lubrication

Points on page 43.

NOTE:

Wings must be lowered before removing the

driveline from its shipping location.
