12. Fit the primary driveshaft:
a. The primary driveshaft transmits power from the tractor’s power take-off to the mower.
b. It is fitted with a constant velocity joint at the tractor end which allows the driveshaft to
operate at extreme angles. The constant velocity joint MUST be fitted to the tractor.
c. Rest the large end of the driveshaft on the chassis drawbar.
d. The constant velocity joint coupling has a spring-
loaded external locking collar that operates balls inside
the yoke. These locate in the groove in the tractor PTO
shaft to secure the driveshaft.
e. Hold the collar back towards the universal joint
while pushing the coupling onto the tractor’s PTO shaft.
f. The collar will snap back to the locked position
when fully engaged. Check by pulling and pushing the
driveshaft to ensure that it will not move.
g. The smaller universal joint coupling has a spring-
loaded locking pin that locates in a groove in the
gearbox shaft to secure the driveshaft. Press the
spring-loaded pin and hold it in.
h. Offer the driveshaft to the gearbox input shaft, align
the splines and slide the yoke onto the gearbox spline.
(Picture shows guards cut away for clarity.)
i. The locking pin will pop out when it aligns with the
groove in the shaft.
j. Check the driveshaft is properly retained by pushing
and pulling. It must remain fixed in position.
NOTE: The small hatch on top of the gearbox safety shield can be opened for access if
required.
