Section 1 Assembly and Set-Up

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 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 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.

Checking Driveline Maximum Length

Make sure you have gone through the steps in

"Checking Driveline Minimum Length" on page 10 before checking maximum length.

Refer to Figure 1-7

The driveline maximum length must, when fully extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by not less than 1/3 the free length with both inner and outer profile tubes being of equal length.

1.Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer shaft and reassemble the driveline.

2.Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just 1/3 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown in Figure 1-7. Measure and record this overall length for checking driveline length in step 9 below.

3.Attach inner driveline yoke end to the tiller gearbox input shaft.

4.Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's PTO shaft.

5.The driveline should now be moved back and forth to insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and Rotary Tiller PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.

IMPORTANT: A small chain is supplied with the driveline. This chain must be attached to the inner driveline shield and to the tiller to restrict shield rotation.

6.Hook driveline safety chain in the hole in the inner driveline guard. Attach the other end to the tiller’s main frame.

7.Start tractor and raise tiller just enough to remove blocks used to support the tiller frame in step 3a on page 10.

8.Slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lower the Rotary Tiller. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if required.

9.Raise and lower implement to find maximum extended driveline length. Check to make certain that the driveline overall length does not extend beyond the maximum recorded length in step 2.
