Driveline Attachment, Shorten Driveline

Woods Equipment MDO80-2 manual Driveline Attachment, Shorten Driveline

Driveline Attachment

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis- tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the cutter or tractor.

Driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during operation. There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at the cutters lowest possible point of operation. The drive- line must not bottom out when raised to the maximum height possible.

If driveline is too short please call your Woods dealer for a longer driveline.

If driveline is too long please follow the instructions for shortening the driveline.

Shorten Driveline

1.Move cutter up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft.

2.Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.

4.Measure from end of the upper shield to the base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-9/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 2.
