Connecting the PTO Shaft
Parts needed for this procedure:
1 Bolt (1/2 x 3 inches)
1 Nut (1/2 inch)
–
Short driveshaft, Part 115-2839 (may be needed; sold
separately)
Procedure
Important:
If necessary, install the short driveshaft,
Part 115-2839 (sold separately). In most cases, the short
driveshaft is not needed.
Refer to Figure 9 and determine the position of the PTO
output shaft on the tractor, relative to the position of the
lower trailing arms. This distance is designated the “M”
dimension. The standard driveshaft included with your
aerator fits a tractor “M” dimension down to 48.89 cm (19.25
inches). If the “M” dimension is smaller, we offer an optional
shorter PTO driveshaft assembly (115-2839), which fits a
tractor “M” dimension down to 39.37 cm (15.50 inches).
It may be helpful to place a straightedge across the ends of
the trailing arms to determine the distance between them and
the end of the PTO output shaft end. Consult your tractor
operator’s manual for potential length adjustment capability
in the tractor trailing arm design. Contact your Authorized
Toro Distributor if you need any assistance to perform this
measurement and to order the driveshaft (115-2839), should
it be required.
