Check Collapsible Length
Figure 1-4
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-4:
1.
Make sure driveline is installed properly before
checking driveline collapsed length (Refer to
“Driveline Installation” instructions on page 10).
2.
With driveline level, measure 1" (“B” dimension)
back from universal joint shield to end of outer
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-4.
a. If measurement is less than 1", shorten driveline.
a. If measurement is 1" or more, skip to “Check
Driveline Maximum Length”.
Shorten Driveline
Refer to Figure 1-4:
Be sure to first check driveline collapsed length as
instructed above. If required, shorten driveline as follows:
1.
Un-hook driveline from tractor PTO shaft and pull
outer and inner drivelines apart.
2.
Reattach outer driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on
inner and outer drivelines to be sure universal joints
are properly secured.
3.
Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other:
a. Measure 1" (“B” dimension) back from outer
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 1" (“B” dimension) back from the inner
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the outer driveline shield.

IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long can bottom
out causing structural damage to tractor and tiller.
Always check driveline collapsed length during initial
setup, when connecting to a different tractor, and
when alternating between using a quick hitch and a
standard 3-Point hitch. More than one driveline may
be required to fit all applications.
4.
Remove driveline and safety chains from tractor and
gearbox.
5.
Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
(“X” dimension). Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the inner shaft (“X1” dimension).
6.
Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
(“Y” dimension). Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the outer shaft (“Y1” dimension).
7.
Remove all burrs and cuttings.
8.
Continue with “Check Driveline Maximum Length”.
Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Make sure driveline collapsible length is checked first.
See “Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on page 11.
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1.
If not already completed, apply multi-purpose grease
to inside of outer profile and reassemble driveline.
2.
Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown below.
Once assembled, measure and record the maximum
allowable length for future reference.

3.
Reattach driveline to tractor and gearbox shaft
following “Driveline Installation” steps 1 to 8 on
page 10.
4.
