SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION -- CHAPTER 1
00-21
To adjust the PTO assembly length to fit the tractor,
do the following:
1. Separate the front part of the shaft, 1, from the
rear part of the shaft, 2.
2. Connect the front half of the PTO assembly to the
tractor’s PTO drive shaft.
3. Connect the rear half of the PTO assembly to the
disc mower’s input shaft.
4. Raise and lower the machine to find the position
that where the distance between the tractor’s
drive shaft and the mower’s input shaft will be the
shortest.
5. Hold the shaft’s side-by-side and mark the length
to provide 10 mm (3/8″) clearance between the
ends of the shaft and the yoke, 3.
6. On the front and rear plastic shield tubes,
measure the length from the end of each tube to
the inner mark on the tube to be cut off. The
length measured on each shaft should be about
the same.
7. Remove the front and rear shafts from the
hookups.
