Check Driveline Minimum Length
Figure 1-5
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. With driveline attached only to the 3-point implement,
remove outer driveline (tractor end) from inner
driveline to separate the two profiles.
2. Park tractor and implement on a level surface.
3. Raise implement until implement input shaft is level
with tractor power take-off shaft. Securely block
implement at this height to keep unit from lowering.
4. Shut tractor down without removing support blocks.
5. Attach outer driveline to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft. Refer to steps 5-7 under
6. Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other.
If dimension “A” is greater than or equal to 1", then
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
page 21. Otherwise continue with step 7.

A driveline that is too long can bottom
out causing structural damage to the tractor and
implement. Always check driveline minimum length
during initial setup, when connecting to a different
tractor, and when alternating between using a quick
hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More than one
driveline may be required to fit all applications.
IMPORTANT:
The power take-off shaft and
implement input shaft must be aligned and level with
each other when checking driveline minimum length.
A driveline that is too long can damage tractor and
implement.
Driveline Shortening
Figure 1-6
Refer to Figure 1-6:
7.
If dimension “A” was 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 implement’s
input 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.
12. Continue with
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
