The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to
fit between the tractor and tiller gearbox. Shorten
driveline as follows:
a. Set tractor in park, shut tractor engine off, set park
brake and remove switch key.
b. Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in
Figure 1-6. Attach the outer driveline universal
joint to the tractor shaft and inner driveline
universal joint to the tiller gearbox shaft. Pull on
each driveline section to be sure the universal
joints are secured to the shafts.
c. Hold the driveline sections parallel to each other
to determine if they are too long. The inner and
outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching the universal
joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B”
dimension). If they are too long, measure 1" (“B”
dimension) back from the universal joint shield
and make a mark at this location on the inner and
outer driveline shields.
d. Cut off the inner shield at the mark (“X”
dimension). Cut the same amount off the inner
shaft (“X1” dimension). Repeat cut off procedure
(“Y” & “Y1” dimensions) to the outer driveline half.
e. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
f. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the
outer shaft and reassemble the driveline.
g. Attach inner driveline yoke end to the tiller divider
gearbox input shaft.
h. Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's
shaft.
4.
Move the driveline back and forth to insure that both
ends are secured to the tractor and tiller shafts.
Reattach any end that is loose.
5.
Hook driveline safety chain at the tiller to the top hole
located in the front flange of the tiller hitch. Re-latch
safety chain to driveline guard.
6.
Hook driveline safety chain at the tractor to the
tractor pull tongue. Re-latch safety chain to driveline
guard.
IMPORTANT: Two small chains are supplied with
the driveline. These chains must be attached to the
driveline shields and to the rotary tiller and tractor to
restrict the shields from rotating.
