4.05 - Driveline
DANGER: Only use the original driveline supplied with this machine and always
with the safety shielding. Carefully read and file away the driveline operator’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer. The following does not substitute the
information found in the driveline manual.
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline length during initial setup and when connecting to
a different tractor.
In the collapsed position the driveline should be approximately 2” from bottoming out to
prevent possible damage to the tractor or implement. When the driveline is in the
maximum extended position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be
approximately 6” (see fig. 11).
If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other
half to the rotary cutter.
2. Raise and lower the rotary cutter with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the
driveline is shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and mark the desired length on
the outer female tube guard leaving a 2” gap between the end of the guard tube and
bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner
telescoping tube.
