Driveline Maximum Length
Figure 1-3
Identify Driveline Maximum Allowable
Length
Driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have 1/3 overlap of the profile tubes with both
inner and outer profile tubes being of equal length as
shown in Figure 1-3. Check driveline maximum allowable
length as follows:
1.
Unhook driveline from the tractor and implement.
2. Pull outer and inner drivelines profiles apart.
3. Measure and record “Free Length” of inner and outer
profiles as shown in Figure 1-3.
4. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
profile and reassemble the two profiles.
5. Move driveline halves together until profile tubes has
exactly 1/3 profile overlap.
6. Measure driveline “Maximum Allowable Length” and
record that length here ______.
7.
Reattach inner driveline yoke to the gearbox input
shaft and outer driveline yoke to the tractor's power
take-off output shaft.
8. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
insure that both ends are secured. Reattach any end
that is loose.
9. Continue with

Maximum Driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-4
Check Driveline Interference
1.
Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-point control lever
to lower rake while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if
required.
2. Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended driveline length. Check to make certain the
driveline does not exceed the maximum allowable
length recorded in step 6 under
3. Check driveline angle to verify it does not exceed 25
o
up or down.
4. If needed, set tractor 3-point lift limiter at a height that
will keep the driveline within the maximum allowable
length and maximum 25
o
up or down.
