attached detent pin (#2). Adjust jack up or down until
clevis hitch is at drawbar height.
Driveline Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-10:
WARNING
!
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 causing implement damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
The main driveline may be either constant velocity type
or conventional type. Pull-collar couplers and retaining
bolts are used to connect the driveline to the tractor and
implement gearbox, respectively.
1. Park tractor and cutter in a straight line on a level
surface. Place gear selector in park, shut tractor
engine off, set park brake, and remove switch key.
2. Verify “Drawbar Set-up” dimensions on page 15 are
correct before installing driveline.
3. Remove hand knobs (#8).
4. Rotate front half of splitter guard (#9) open.

and rotate doors down.

coupler end of driveline (#5).
8. Slide bolted coupler end of driveline (#5) over splitter
gearbox input shaft until bolt holes in coupler align
with groove around input shaft.
9. Attach driveline (#5) to splitter gearbox input shaft
with removed bolts (#2) and locknuts (#1). Tighten
locknuts to the correct torque.
10. Pull on driveline yoke to ensure yoke is securely
fastened to splitter gearbox shaft.
11. Rotate doors (#7) up and snap shut.
12. Collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor end of
