Driveline installation
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1. Park tractor on a level surface. Slowly engage tractor 3-Point lift lever to raise
Mowers until gearbox shaft is in line (level) with tractor PTO shaft.
2. Support Mowers deck at this height with support jacks or blocks to keep
Mowers from drifting down.
3. Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut tractor off, and remove
switch key.
4. Slide inner yoke (implement end) of driveline onto the gearbox. Secure
driveline with yoke locking device.
5. Slide outer yoke of driveline over the tractor PTO shaft. Secure driveline with
yoke locking device.
6. If driveline does not fit between tractor and gearbox, skip to instructions to
"Shorten Driveline Length".
7. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to ensure both ends are
secured to the tractor and poultry litter crusher PTO shafts. Reattach any end
that is loose.
8. Hook driveline safety chain on the tractor end of driveline to the tractor. Re-
latch safety chain to the driveline shield.
9. Hook driveline safety chain on the Mowers end of driveline to the Mowers
frame. Re-latch safety chain to the driveline shield.
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
IMPORTANT: Two small chains are supplied with the driveline. To keep driveline
shields from rotating, these chains must be attached to the outer and inner
driveline shields and to the Mowers and tractor.
IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long will bottom out causing structural
damage to the tractor and Mowers . Always check driveline collapsible Length
during initial setup and when connecting to a different tractor. More than one
driveline may be required to fit all applications.
1. Make sure driveline is properly installed and level before checking driveline
collapsible length. (Refer to "Driveline Installation" on page 10 if needed.) Refer
to Figure 1-3:
2. With driveline level, measure 1" ("B" dimension) back from universal joint
shield to end of outer driveline shield. If measurement is 1" or more, skip "Check
Driveline Extended Length" on page 12. If measurement is less than 1", then
continue with "Shorten Driveline Length".
