Driveline Shortening
Figure 3-3
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.
4. Remove driveline from tractor PTO shaft and
gearbox shaft.
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 3-4:
The driveline maximum allowable 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
allowable length here. ________

“Check Driveline Interference”
Check Driveline Interference
1. Make certain driveline yokes and safety chains are
properly attached. See steps 10 -12 on page 15.
2. Start tractor and raise Snow Blower just enough to
remove support blocks from under the unit.
3. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-point control lever
to lower Snow Blower while checking for sufficient
drawbar clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or
remove if required.
Refer to Figure 3-5:
4. With PTO off, raise implement fully up to make the
following checks below. If driveline exceeds any of
the limits listed, set tractor 3-point lift limiter at a
height that will keep the driveline within its lift limits
and to avoid premature driveline breakdown.
•
Driveline does not exceed 25
o
up.
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum allowable
length recorded in step 2 under
.

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid premature driveline breakdown.
A driveline that is operating must not exceed an
angle of 25 degrees up or down.
