Check Driveline Collapsible Length
1.
With driveline attached only to the cutter, remove
outer driveline (tractor end) from inner driveline to
separate the two profiles.
2.
Park tractor and cutter on a level surface.
3.
Raise cutter until gearbox input shaft is level with
tractor power take-off shaft. Securely block cutter at
this height to keep the unit from lowering.
4.
With cutter resting on the support blocks, shutdown
the tractor using
5.
Attach outer driveline to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft. Refer to
steps 4-7.
6.
Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other
as shown in Figure 1-8. Measure dimension “A”.
•
If “A” is less than 1", continue with step 7.
•
If “A” is greater than or equal to 1", skip to

7.
If dimension “A” is less than 1", shorten driveline as
follows:
Refer to Figure 1-9:
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.
