4. Take the shortest recorded measurement you wrote in the table and add 2".
5. Take that number and subtract it from 27" (overall compressed length of the supplied PTO Shaft).
6. This final number is the length that you will need to cut off of the PTO Shaft for it to fit properly to
your Tractor.
EXAMPLE: Let’s assume the shortest center-to-center measurement in the table is 22".
• 22 + 2 = 24 (step 4 above)
• 27 – 24 = 3 (step 5 above)
• You would be required to cut 3" off both halves of the PTO Shaft and 3" off of the Guard.
NOTE: If you end up with 0" or a negative number, then no changes are needed until you reach a maximum
long measurement of 32" as indicated on previous page.

Modifying the PTO Shaft-if required
The PTO Shaft included with your new DR Chipper may be
too long for your tractor. To shorten the Driveshaft,
proceed as follows:
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• Hacksaw
• Bench Vise
• Tape Measure
• File
• General purpose Lithium Grease
1. Separate the PTO Shaft Halves by pulling them apart.
2. Separate the Guards from the PTO Shaft Halves by
inserting a flat tip screwdriver into the Bearing Tab
Slots as you pull down on the Safety Guard to release
the Safety Guard from the Shaft (Figure 17).
3. Measure and cut the ends of both Guards the required
amount (Figure 18).
NOTE: If you put the Guards in a vise to hold them, be
careful not to clamp it too tight because it could crack
the plastic.
