DRIVELINE DIMENSION
A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To accommodate the variety of 3 point
hitch geometry available today, the driveline can be too long for some machines and
must be cut. It is very important that the driveline be free to telescope but not bottom
out when going through its working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the bearings on
both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time.
If cutting the drive is necessary, follow this procedure:
1.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2.
Attach the Tiller to the tractor but do not attach the driveline.
3.
Raise the implement until the input gearbox shaft is at the closest point to the
tractor output shaft.
.4.
In this position, measure the dimension between the locking groove on the tractor
output shaft and the groove on the Tiller input shaft.
5.
Now measure the pin to pin dimension on the compressed driveline.
6.
If the driveline pin to pin dimension (B) exceeds the groove to groove dimension,
the driveline should be cut.
