DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly
of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes.
Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use.
Figure MntP-R-0021. Do not force grease through
the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the
telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. To
grease profile tube, disconnect drive from PTO and
pull halves apart. Pump grease into outer profile
tube and reinstall together. Lube Twist Collar
weekly with WD40 or equivalent weight oil. Figure
Mnt-R-0037.
The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly
has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 40
hours. To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, turn the three Nylon Nuts 1/4 turn in the Shield
Slots of the Cone and Tube and remove them. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner section of the Driveline.
Install the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon Bearing over the Driveline Housing of
Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into
the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align a slot in the Shield Cone with one of the slots in the Shield. Put one of the
Nylon Nuts back in through the aligned slots and turn until it is perpendicular to the slots. Add the other two
Nylon Nuts.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
