INSTALLING DECK PTO SHAFTS

The three identical PTO shafts are used to drive the mower decks. Each PTO
shaft will have one end designated a tractor end. This end should be hooked up
to the main gear box.



The PTO shafts from the two wing decks must be timed when mounted to the
gear box. See photo below. Mount the one side first with the yoke laying flat. The
opposite side must be mounted with the yoke laying as flat as possible. ie. Timed.










All PTO shafts have a short chain attached on both ends. Find a location to wrap
or hook on short chain. Be sure that when decks are brought into transport
position, the safety chain will not bind or pull PTO shield. Do not forget to install
the PTO spacers to level the driveline. See section on “Hitching to the Tractor”
