Adjust the drawbar at 15-22” above the ground.
Extend or shorten the drawbar so horizontal distance
from end of tractor PTO shaft to center of hitch pin
hole is 14” for 540 RPM 1-3/8-6 spline, (16” for
optional 1000 RPM 1-3/8-21, 20” for 1000 RPM 1 3/4-
20 spline). Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is
located directly below the PTO drive line. PTO
adapters are not recommended as damage to the
drive line may occur. A hitch pin with a minimum
diameter of 1” and bottom retaining pin is
recommended.
AN IMPROPERLY LOCATED HITCH POINT MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS OF
THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT. CONFORMING TO THE
DRAWBAR AND PTO RELATIONSHIP SHOWN ON
FIGURE 1, PAGE

DRIVE SHAFT WILL NOT BECOME OVER
EXTENDED. USE THE CORRECT SETTING FOR
14” - 540 RPM 1 3/8-6 or 16” - 1000 RPM 1 3/8-21,

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
It is extremely important to follow the maintenance
guidelines. If telescoping members become hard to
slide during normal operation, it is recommended the
shaft be taken apart, cleaned with solvent and re-
coated with grease before re-assembling. As a
minimum it is important this be done after each
season of use.
A. Using the CV Zerk (Key #2) place 20 pumps of
grease into the CV center housing. This should be
done with the drive line / CV as straight as possible.
B. Slowly articulate the double joint through its
maximum joint angle several times.
C. Return the CV joint to its straight position and insert
additional grease into the CV Zerk (Key #2) until
grease is evident around the housing and center
sliding disk.
A. Lubricate the following items after every eight
(8) hours of operation. If short rows and frequent
turning or other demanding conditions exist,
lubricate at four (4) hour intervals.
1. Cross and bearings (Key #1)-Add grease until it
is purged around the seals.
2. CV center housing (Key #2)-Add grease until it is
evident around the center sliding disk. (Grease
fitting on CV-some models only)
3. Telescoping members (Key #3)-Add grease until
it adequately covers the sliding members. Take
apart occasionally to make sure adequate
lubrication is being added.
4. Shield bearings (Key #4)-Add 2-3 pumps.
5. Over-running clutch (Key #5) Add 10 pumps
every 25-30 loads.
