SECTION 31 - IMPLEMENT POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) - CHAPTER 1
31-2
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The mower-conditioners utilize constant velocity
U-joint drivelines for smooth operation, and to
provide the ability to swing the tongue during PTO
operation. The primary PTO shaft on both 540 RPM
and 1000 RPM units is equipped with an 80 degree
CV U-joint, 1, at the tractor end, and a conventional
U-joint, 2, at the rear. The secondary PTO shaft on
both units use 50 degree CV U-joints, 1, Figure 2, at
both ends of the shaft.
The CV joint degree rating indicates the maximum
allowable operating angle of the CV U-joint;
operation at angles exceeding that value will result in
U-joint failure.
