DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and
lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis
-
tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will
be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and
damage the cutter or tractor.
The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at
least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during opera
-
tion. There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at
the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. The driv
-
eline must not bottom out when raised to the maximum
height possible.
If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer
for a longer driveline.
If driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for
shortening the driveline.
SHORTENING DRIVELINE
1.
Move cutter up and down to get the shortest
possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and
gearbox input shaft.
2.
Separate driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.
3.
Place driveline halves parallel to one another to
determine how much to shorten the driveline.

Measure from end of the upper shield to the base
of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-9/16" to
dimension (A). See Figure 7.
