Section 1 Assembly and Set-Up

Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-7:

1.Slowly back the tractor up to the cutter and use the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to adjust the lower link arms up or down to match the height of the cutter hitch pins.

2.Simply position the lower link arms to "insert" the hitch pin into the lower hitch link hole.

3.Install a linch pin or other fastener (supplied by customer) through the hitch pin hole to lock the lower links into position.

4.Connect the driveline to the tractor’s PTO output shaft and secure with locking device on driveline. Connect the safety chain to the hitch brace on the cutter to restrict outer shield of driveline from rotating.

NOTE: Chain should be attached at implement end of driveline.

b.Pull driveline apart. Reattach outer sections to tractor and gearbox. Pull on driveline section to be sure that yoke locks into place.

c.Hold driveline sections parallel to each other to determine if too long. Each section should end approximately 1" ("B" dimension) short of reaching universal joint shield on opposite section. If too long, measure 1" ("B" dimension) back from universal joint shield and mark on opposite section. Do this for both sections.

d.Cut off shield where marked ("X" dimension). Cut shaft the same amount ("X" dimension).

e.Repeat the procedure to the other driveline half. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

f.Apply multi-purpose grease to inside of outer (female) driveline section. Assemble driveline and install on tractor and cutter. Pull on each driveline section to be sure yokes lock into place. Make certain driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.

5.Connect the top link to the upper pivot hitch using the 3/4" clevis pin supplied. In most cases, the lowest hole of the upper pivot hitch is the appropriate hole to use. For tractors with shorter than normal top-links, the second set of holes on the upper pivot hitch allows greater ground clearance for the tailwheel.

6.Start the tractor and slowly engage the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lift the cutter. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance. Move the drawbar ahead, aside or remove if required. Watch the telescoping movement of the driveline to ensure that it does not bottom out while lifting the 3-point. If the driveline does bottom out, it will require shortening:

a.Refer to Figure 1-8. Raise the tractor 3-point hitch so the input shaft of the cutter gearbox is in line with the PTO shaft on the tractor. Shut down tractor, leaving cutter in position of shortest distance between shafts, refer to "A" dimension. Securely block cutter in position. Remove driveline from tractor and gearbox
