Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:

•

Remove the driveline from the tractor.

•

Raise and lower the mower to find the position 
with the shortest distance between the tractor 
PTO shaft and cutter gearbox.  Shut down the 
tractor and securely block the  mower in this 
position.

•

Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO 
shaft.

•

Hold driveline sections parallel to one another 
and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft 
and place mark on opposite section.  Cut this 
length off with a saw.

•

Round off all sharp edges and debur.

•

Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.

•

Recheck for proper operation.

The GR72 driveline is a bar and welded sleeve assembly and its length cannot be modified as described

above.  Contact your authorized dealer or Rhino Customer Service for recommendations to fit the mower to

the tractor if there is a potential problem bottoming out the driveline.

•

With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its 
maximum extension.  Turn off the tractor and securely block the mower at this position.

•

Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

•

Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.  

•

Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile.  This length is the amount the driveline 
profiles were engaged.

•

If the engaged length is less than 9”, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer 
shaft.  Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.
