Shortening a PTO Driveline
1.
With the implement attached to the tractor’s three
point hitch, and the PTO driveline not installed,
separate the PTO driveline. Attach the implement end to the implement and the other end to the
tractor PTO input shaft.
2.
Raise the implement by using the tractor’s hydraulic 3
-
point hitch to it’s maximu
m lift height.
3.
Hold the half shafts next to each other and mark them so each end is approximately ½” from hitting
the end of the telescopic profiles.
4. Shorten the inner and out guard tubes equally.
5. Shorten the inner and outer profiles by the same length as the guard tubes. Using a rattail file, round
off all sharp edges and burrs. Grease the telescopic profile generously before reassembling.
