Driveline Shortening
Figure 1-3
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1.
With driveline attached only to the implement,
remove outer driveline (tractor end) from inner
driveline to separate the two profiles.
2.
Park tractor and implement on a level surface.
3.
Adjust implement height until gearbox input shaft is
level with the tractor’s power take-off shaft. Securely
block implement at this height to keep the unit from
lowering.
4.
Shut tractor down without removing support blocks.
Refer to
13.
5.
Attach outer driveline to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft. Refer to steps 5-6 under
6.
Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other.
If dimension “A” is greater than or equal to 1", then
skip to
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
page 17. Otherwise continue with step 7.

Driveline Shortening
Figure 1-4
Refer to Figure 1-4:
7.
If dimension “A” was less than 1", shorten driveline as
follows:
a. Measure 1" (
“B1”
dimension) back from outer
driveline shield and make a mark at this location
on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 1" (
“B2”
dimension) back from the inner
driveline shield and make a mark at this location
on the outer driveline shield.
8.
Remove outer driveline from the tractor power take-
off shaft and inner driveline from the implement’s
gearbox shaft.
9.
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).
10. 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).
11. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
12. Continue with
