HOW TO CUT A DRIVE SHAFT
1) Attach the implement to the tractor. Raise and lower it, BE SURE it's angle
is correct and there is nothing hitting.
2) Raise and lower till the stub PTO shaft on the tractor and the implement are the
closest to each other they can be.
3) Take a measurement TIP TO TIP on the stub shafts. EXAMPLE: Let's say 28" tip to tip
is the measurement you made.
4) Lay the drive shaft on the bench. Close it ALL THE WAY and measure from inside of
each yoke to the other. Don't forget the yoke must fit over the stub shaft. That's why you
measure from inside the yoke.
EXAMPLE: Let's say the drive shaft is 60" from yoke to
yoke when it's in its most closed state.
28" is what we want!
60" is what we have!
Take 60"- 28" = 32" from each side
THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT SHOULD BE CUT FROM EACH HALF OF THE DRIVE
SHAFT.
5) NOTES: To remember
A - DON'T forget the yoke must fit over the stub shaft.
B - You can cut it again EASIER than you can add.
SAFETY FIRST – ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR
WHEN WORKING WITH/ON, EQUIPMENT/TOOLS!
