4.3 Alternate Method
This method can be used if the two ends of the PTO shaft
cannot be put close enough together to measure.
1. Install the attachment on the tractor. Lift the attachment
up so that the tractor output is level with implement input
shaft.
2. Take the PTO shaft that came with your machine, fully
collapse it, and measure the distance between the locking
yokes.
Call this measurement 'A'.

3. Measure the distance between the grooves for the locking
collars on each input. Subtract 2 inches (50 mm) from this
measurement. Call this measurement 'B'.
L – 2" (50 mm) = B

L = ?

4. If the collapsed length A is longer than measurement B
from Step 3, the PTO shaft must be shortened.
5. Subtract B from the uncut PTO shaft measurement A.
(A – B)
The result is how much BOTH halves of the PTO shaft need to
be shortened. Call this value C.
A – B = C

6. Pull the PTO shaft apart, then measure and cut the length
C from both the outer plastic covers and the inner metal
tubes.
Tip: Use the cut off piece of outer shielding to
mark the inner tube. Leave the steel center tubes
longer than the plastic outer tubes, otherwise
they can be harder to put back together.
