INSTALLING PTO SHAFTS
:
The three identical PTO shafts are used to drive the mower decks. Each PTO
shaft will have one end designated a tractor end. This end should be hooked up to the
main gearbox.
The PTO shafts from the two wing decks must be timed when mounted to the gearbox.
See photo below. Mount the one side first with the yoke laying flat. The opposite side
must be mounted with the yoke laying as flat as possible. ie. Timed.
Input Drive Shaft

All PTO shafts have a short chain attached on both ends. Find a location to
wrap or hook on short chain. Be sure that when decks are brought into transport
position, the safety chain will not bind or pull PTO shield.

The Intermediate shaft is installed with the large bell end onto the main gear
box. The PTO mount bracket is then installed by sliding the PTO end through
the flange bearing, leaving the mounting bolts loose. Do not forget to install the
PTO spacers to level the driveline. See section on “Hitching to the Tractor”.
