Shorten Driveline Length
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1. Un-hook driveline from tractor PTO shaft and pull outer and inner drivelines
apart.
2. Reattach outer driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on inner and outer drivelines
to be sure universal joints are properly secured.
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 and gearbox shafts.
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. Check driveline extended length next.
Check Driveline Extended Length
Refer to Figure 1-4:
Make sure driveline collapsible length is acceptable. If needed, refer to "Check
