Checking the PTO Shaft
’s Extended Length
Make sure the PTO s
haft’s collapsible length is acceptable. The PTO
shaft's maximum allowable
length must, when fully extended, have a minimum overlap of the two driveline sides by not less
than 1/3 the free length, with both inner and outer drivelines being of equal length.
1.
Apply multi-purpose grease to the
‘
outer shaft
’
inside and reassemble the PTO shaft.
2.
Assemble the two shaft parts with 1/3 overlapping of inner and outer drivelines. Once
assembled, measure and record the maximum allowable length shown below for future
reference.
3.
Attach the inner driveshaft
yoke to the implement’s input shaft. Attach the outer
driveshaft
yoke to the
tractor’s output shaft.
4.
Move the yoke ends of the driveshaft back and forth to ensure they are secured to the
tractor and implement shafts. Re-attach any loose end.
5.
Raise and lower the implement to find the maximum extended PTO shaft length. Check to
ensure that the PTO s
haft’s overall length does not exceed the
full recorded size in step 2.
6.
If needed, set the tractor’s 3
-Point lift height to keep the PTO shaft from exceeding the
maximum allowable length.
