Section 1: Assembly & Set-up

Refer to Figure 1-12:

4.The PTO driveline will require shortening if it is too long to fit between the tractor and gearbox. Shorten driveline as follows:

a.Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.

b.Pull driveline apart as shown in Figure 1-12: on page 13. Attach the outer yoke section to the tractor shaft and inner yoke section to the cutter gearbox shaft. Pull on each driveline section to be sure the universal joints are secured to the shafts.

c.Hold the 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 the shield at the mark (“X” dimension). Cut the same amount off the shaft (“X1” dimension). Repeat cut off procedure (“Y” & “Y1” dimensions) to the other driveline half.

e.Remove all burrs and cuttings.

Check Driveline Maximum Length

Make sure you have gone through the steps in “Check Driveline Minimum Length” on page 12 before checking maximum length.

Refer to Figure 1-13:

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.

Driveline Maximum Length

Figure 1-13

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 1-13. Measure and record this overall length for checking driveline length in step 9 below.

3.Attach inner driveline yoke end to the Overseeder 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 Overseeder 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 Overseeder to restrict shield rotation.

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

7.Start tractor and raise Overseeder just enough to remove blocks used to support the Overseeder frame in step 4a on page 13.

8.Slowly engage the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lower the Overseeder. 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 above.
