  Measure the PTO shaft and cut to the 

dimension shown 

– the finished length 

of the PTO shaft should be 75mm (3”) 
less than the measured distance ‘

A

’ - 

between  tractor  shaft  and  gearbox 
stub shaft - to enable fitting.

Fig.8 

NOTE: 

For  subsequent  use  with  different 
tractors measure again, there must be 
a minimum shaft overlap of 150mm 
(6”). 



  Fit  PTO  in  position  and  attach  the 

torque chains to a convenient location 
to  prevent  the  shaft  guards  from 
rotating.
