Driveline Assembly
The main driveline type is constant velocity, with or
without over-running clutch. Pull-collar and bolted
couplers are used to secure the driveline to the tractor
and implement gearbox, respectively.
DANGER
!
To prevent 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.
Refer to Figure 1-22:
1. Remove hex whiz nuts (#4A), carriage bolts (#3), and
shipping bracket (#2). Discard shipping bracket.
2. Slide driveline (#5) off end of shipping bracket (#1).
Set driveline aside for attaching to the splitter box
later.
3. Reinsert carriage bolts (#3) and secure with hex whiz
nuts (#4A). Tighten whiz nuts to the correct torque for
a 1/2"-13 GR5 bolt.
4. Remove hex whiz nuts (#4B), carriage bolts (#3), and
shipping bracket (#1). Discard shipping bracket.
5. Reinsert carriage bolts (#3) and secure with hex whiz
nuts (#4B). Tighten whiz nuts to the correct torque for
a 1/2"-13 GR5 bolt.
The driveline must be lubricated before
putting it into service. Refer to
NOTE:
The wing must be lowered before removing
the driveline from its shipping location. See
Refer to Figure 1-23 on page 27:
6. Unsnap latches (#9) on both sides of gearbox
shield (#10) and remove shield.
7.
Remove and discard rubber shaft protector (#7) from
splitter gearbox shaft (#8).
8. Remove locknuts (#1) and bolts (#2) from bolted
coupler end of driveline (#5).
9. Insert bolted coupler end of driveline (#5) through
gearbox shield (#10) and attach to gearbox input
shaft (#8) with removed bolts (#2) and locknuts (#1).
Tighten locknuts to the correct torque for 5/8"-11 Gr8
bolts.
10. Collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor end of
driveline toward the splitter gearbox.
11. Rotate driveline support (#11) up and support
driveline (#5) on the support. Final adjustments to
the support will be made after tractor hook-up.
12. Return gearbox shield (#10) to mounting plate (#4)
and secure with latches (#9).
13. Check safety chain (#3). Make sure it is latched to
mounting plate (#4) and gearbox shield (#10).
