4.03 - Driveline
DANGER: Only use the original driveline supplied with this windrower rake and
always with the safety shielding.
Carefully read and file away the driveline operator’s manual supplied by the
manufacturer. The following does not substitute the information found in the
driveline manual.
IMPORTANT:
Always check driveline length during initial setup and when connecting to
a different tractor.
In the collapsed position the driveline should be approximately 2” from bottoming out to
prevent possible damage to the tractor or implement. When the driveline is in the
maximum extended position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be
approximately 6”
(see fig. 12)
.
If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other
half to the rake.
2. On windrower rake DR0-308,
raise and lower the rake with the 3 point hitch to find
the position where the driveline is shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and
mark the desired length on the outer female tube guard leaving a 1½” gap between
the end of the guard tube and bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner
telescoping tube.
