DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure Mnt-R-0088.Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every 16 hours. Figure Mnt-R-0089.

The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication weekly. To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, remove the screws on the Shield. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner section of the Driveline. Install the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon Bearing over the Driveline Housing of Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align holes on the Shield and replace the screws in the Shield.

Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the Driveline without binding.
