Driveline Shortening
Figure 1-8
Refer to Figure 1-8:
8. If dimension “A” was less than 1" (2.5 cm), shorten
driveline as follows:
a. Measure 1" (2.5 cm) (
“B1”
dimension) back from
outer driveline shield and make a mark at this
location on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 1" (2.5 cm) (
“B2”
dimension) back from
the inner driveline shield and make a mark at this
location on the outer driveline shield.
9. Remove outer driveline from the tractor power take-
off shaft and inner driveline from the implement
gearbox shaft.
10. Cut off non-yoke end of inner driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
(
“X”
dimension) and record.
b. Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the inner shaft (
“X1”
dimension).
11. Cut off non-yoke end of outer driveline as follows:
a. Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
(
“Y”
dimension) and record.
b. Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut same amount
off the outer shaft (
“Y1”
dimension).
12. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

Driveline Maximum Operating Length
Figure 1-9
Driveline Maximum Operating Length
Refer to Figure 1-9:
The driveline maximum operating length must, when fully
extended, 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.
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown. Once
assembled, measure and record maximum operating
length here: ________
.
3. Reattach driveline to the tractor power take-off shaft
and gearbox input shaft. Refer to
“Check Driveline Interference”

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
NOTE:
The driveline will be checked later to make
sure it does not exceed the recorded maximum
operating length. For detailed instructions, refer to
