Check Driveline Collapsible Length
1.
Make sure driveline is installed properly to the mower
gearbox input shaft and tractor power take-off shaft
before checking driveline collapsed length. Refer to
“Driveline Hook-up to Gearbox”
2. With driveline level, measure 1" (
“B”
dimension)
back from universal joint shield to end of outer
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-5.
a. If measurement is less than 1", shorten driveline.
a. If measurement is 1" or more, skip to
Shorten Driveline
1.
Unhook driveline from tractor power take-off shaft
and gearbox shaft.
2. Raise 3-Point arms until mower gearbox shaft and
tractor power take-off shaft are approximately level
with each other.
3. Support mower deck at this height with support jacks
or support blocks to keep power take-off and gearbox
shafts level while shorting the driveline.
4. Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut
tractor off and remove switch key.
5. Pull driveline apart as shown in Figure 1-5.
6. Attach outer driveline universal joint to tractor power
take-off shaft and inner driveline universal joint to
mower gearbox shaft. Pull on each driveline section
to be sure universal joints are properly secured.

IMPORTANT:
A driveline that is too long can bottom
7.
Hold driveline sections parallel to each other. The
inner and outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching universal joint
shield on the adjacent section (see
“B”
dimensions).
8. If driveline sections are too long, measure 1"
(
“B”
dimension) back from universal joint shield and
make a mark at this location on the inner and outer
driveline shields.
9. Cut-off inner driveline shield at measured mark
(“
X
” dimension). Cut same amount off inner driveline
profile (“
X1
” dimension).
10. Repeat cut-off procedure (“
Y
” & “
Y1
” dimensions) on
the outer driveline section.
b. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
Check Maximum Allowable Length
Figure 1-6
Check Maximum Allowable Length
Make sure driveline collapsible length is checked first.
See
“Check Driveline Collapsible Length”
Driveline maximum allowable length, when fully
extended, must have a minimum overlap of profile tubes
by not less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and
outer profile tubes being of equal length. Determine the
maximum allowable length as follows:
1.
Unhook driveline from tractor and Grooming Mower.
Pull outer and inner drivelines apart.
2. Measure and record
“Free Length”
of inner and
outer profiles as shown in Figure 1-6.
3. Move driveline halves together until profile tubes
overlap by 1/2 the “Free Length”. For future reference,
measure and record
“Maximum Allowable Length”
as shown in Figure 1-6.
Record Maximum Allowable Length here: ________
4. Reattach inner driveline yoke to gearbox shaft and
outer driveline yoke to tractor's power take-off shaft.
5. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
ensure that both ends are secured. Reattach any end
that is loose.
