Shortening 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.

7.Repeat step 6 for the other half of the drive.
8.File and clean cut ends of both drive halves.
Do not use tractor if proper driveline engagement can- not be obtained through these methods.
Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks driveline to PTO shaft.
NOTICE
■If attaching with quick hitch, the distance between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft will increase. Please follow the steps as you would for a
