Driveline Installation

The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor shaft with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a combination of both and on the implement end with a slip clutch and pull collar coupler for protection from shock loads.

Always engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize driveline start-up torque. Drivelines with friction clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See “Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication” on page 31 for a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.

If the Overseeder is to be used on more than one tractor, an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a quick hitch is used.

IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and minimum length during initial set-up, when connecting to a different tractor and when alternating between using a quick hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may be required to fit all applications.

IMPORTANT: It is necessary to aligning the tractor’s PTO shaft level with Overseeder’s PTO shaft when checking to see if the driveline’s minimum length is correct. Too long a driveline can damage the tractor, gearbox and driveline.

Check Driveline Minimum Length

Refer to Figure 1-11:

1.Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic 3-point lift to raise the lower arms until the Overseeder’s driveline shaft is approximately level with tractor's PTO shaft.

2.Slide slip clutch end of driveline over the splined input shaft of gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke locking device.

!CAUTION

Tractor PTO shields and guards must be in place at all times during operation!

!CAUTION

Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.

IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s PTO is set for 540 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-10.

IMPORTANT: For easier access to gearbox input shaft, remove driveline guard at the gearbox.

3.Slide opposite end of driveline yoke over the tractor’s splined PTO shaft. Secure with driveline yoke locking device. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and implement.
