Refer to Figure 1-6:

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

a.Set tractor in park, shut tractor engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.

b.Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in Figure 1-6. Attach the outer driveline universal joint to the tractor shaft and inner driveline universal joint to the tiller 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 inner shield at the mark (“X” dimension). Cut the same amount off the inner shaft (“X1” dimension). Repeat cut off procedure (“Y” & “Y1” dimensions) to the outer driveline half.

e.Remove all burrs and cuttings.

f.Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer shaft and reassemble the driveline.

g.Attach inner driveline yoke end to the tiller divider gearbox input shaft.

h.Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's shaft.

4.Move the driveline back and forth to insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and tiller shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.

IMPORTANT: Two small chains are supplied with the driveline. These chains must be attached to the driveline shields and to the rotary tiller and tractor to restrict the shields from rotating.

5.Hook driveline safety chain at the tiller to the top hole located in the front flange of the tiller hitch. Re-latch safety chain to driveline guard.

6.Hook driveline safety chain at the tractor to the tractor pull tongue. Re-latch safety chain to driveline guard.
