Shorten Driveline Length
Figure 1-11
7.
If dimension “A” is less than 1", shorten driveline as
follows:
a. Measure 1" (
“B1”
dimension) back from outer
driveline shield and make a mark at this location
on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 1" (
“B2”
dimension) back from the inner
driveline shield and make a mark at this location
on the outer driveline shield.
8. Remove outer driveline from the tractor power take-
off shaft and inner driveline from the cutter gearbox
shaft.
9. Cut off non-yoke end of inner driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
(
“X”
dimension) and record.
b. Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the inner shaft (
“X1”
dimension).
10. Cut off non-yoke end of outer driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
(
“Y”
dimension) and record.
b. Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the outer shaft (
“Y1”
dimension).
11. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

Driveline Maximum Extended Length
Figure 1-12
Check Driveline Maximum Length
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of profile tubes by not
less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1.
Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemble the outer and inner driveline profiles
together with just 1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes
as shown. Once assembled, measure and record
maximum allowable length here. ________
3. Install clutch end of the driveline to the implement’s
gearbox shaft. Refer to
4. Hook-up opposite end of the driveline to the tractor’s
power take-off shaft. Refer to steps 6-7 under
