Driveline Hanger Adjustment
Refer to Figure 1-16:
1. Move tractor control lever to extend hydraulic lift
cylinder (#5) until pressure against spacers (#1-4)
has been eliminated.
2. Without relieving hydraulic pressure, shut tractor
down before dismounting according to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 19.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Stay clear from underneath the cutter and directly behind
transport tires. The cutter could fall suddenly causing the
decks to lower and tires to roll back.
3. Remove spacers (#1-4) from cylinder.
4. Start tractor and lower cutter until front skid shoes
are resting on the ground or on solid, non-concrete
support blocks.
5. Shut tractor down before dismounting according to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 19.
6. Add spacers (#1-4) as needed to support wheels at
this position.
Refer to Figure 1-17:
7. With driveline attached to the tractor, rotate driveline
hanger (#1) up to check clearance between the
driveline (#5) and driveline hanger (#1).
8. Loosen nuts securing carriage bolts (#4) and adjust
driveline hanger (#1) up until there is a small gap
between driveline (#5) and driveline hanger (#1).
9. If driveline hanger (#1) is adjusted fully up and needs
to adjust higher, remove carriage bolts (#4) and
reattach hanger to the upper two square holes (#2)
with existing flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts,
and carriage bolts (#4). Continue to adjust hanger to
underside of driveline.
10. Draw nuts securing carriage bolts (#4) up snug and
rotate driveline hanger (#1) down. If hanger makes
contact with driveline (#5), readjust hanger down
until it misses the driveline.
a. Tighten both nuts to the correct torque for a
3/8"-16 GR5 bolt.
11. When adjustments are complete, rotate driveline
hanger (#1) down and away from driveline (#5).
NOTE:
The driveline hanger must be able to rotate
up and down with minimum clearance between the
driveline and driveline hanger while the driveline is
connected to the tractor’s power take-off shaft.
IMPORTANT:
Always rotate driveline hanger down
before moving cutter to prevent damage to driveline.

Driveline Clearance Check
Check driveline for adequate clearance under all ranges
of cutter height.
1. With driveline attached to the tractor, verify all
spacers (#1-4) in Figure 1-16 are added as shown
and driveline hanger (#1) in Figure 1-17.
2. Slowly raise and lower cutter to its upper and lower
limits while observing clearances between the cutter
hitch frame and driveline (#5) in Figure 1-17.
Adjust tractor drawbar height and/or length if driveline
interferes. See Figure1-1 on page 15 for correct drawbar
dimensions.
