Cutting PTO Shaft
1. After determining how much to cut off, be sure to
cut off equal lengths of each PTO shaft section, but be
careful not to cut off too much. Clamp end of PTO shaft
in a vice, and cut off shield where marked. (See Fig. 1).
2. Using the cut section of the shield as a guide, cut
the same amount off of each shaft.
(See Fig. 2A, 2B & 2C).
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other section of the
PTO shaft.
4. Use a file to deburr the PTO shafts. Clean up all
chips, burrs and filings from both ends of the PTO
shaft.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the bolt that attaches the
PTO shaft to the gearbox gets sheared, replace with
a Grade 2 bolt ONLY. Replacement with any other
grade of bolt will void your warranty and may cause
permanent damage to the PTO shaft, gearbox, or
tractor.
Attaching To Tractor
Never stand, or allow anyone else to stand, between
the tractor and the Tiller while backing the tractor
up to the hitch.
1) Attach to the tractor’s 3-Point hitch as described
in the Tractor’s Operator’s Manual. Set tractor’s lift
control stop at a position that will prevent the PTO shaft
from coming in contact with the front edge of the Tiller
when it is at full lift. Consult your tractor manual for
instructions.
2) Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the
male (inner) PTO shaft section. Assemble PTO shaft
and install on Tiller and tractor.
Failure to install the retaining clip on the gearbox
input shaft would allow the driveline to swing freely
if the bolt is sheared causing possible injury or
death.
3) Pull shaft on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be
sure it has locked in place. Make certain PTO shaft
guards are in place and in good working condition.
4) The PTO shaft guard is a non-rotating design and
must be secured prior to equipment use. Use the
chain on each yoke guard to attach to fixed objects on
both the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow
the PTO shaft guard to rotate during operation.
