7.5 Install a PTO Shaft
IMPORTANT! Check the drive shaft alignment. During
operation, the working angle should not be greater than 15°
between the tractor and the machine. Misalignment can
cause premature wear and PTO shaft failure.
Make sure that the PTO shaft guard is in good condition and able
to turn freely, independent of the PTO shaft.
Make sure that the PTO yoke ends are clean. Add a small
amount of lubricant to the splines to help them slide on.
A label on the PTO guard shows the tractor-end of
the drive shaft.
