Check Driveline Maximum Length
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully 
extended, have a minimum overlap of profile tubes by not 
less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer 
profile tubes being of equal length. 
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 
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown. Once 
assembled, measure and record maximum allowable 
length here. ________

right side of this page.
Check Driveline Interference
1.
Make certain driveline yokes are properly attached.
2.
Start tractor and raise Rotary Cutter just enough to 
remove support blocks from under the cutter.
3.
Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-Point control lever 
to lower cutter while checking for sufficient drawbar 
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if 
required.
4.
With PTO off, raise implement fully up to make the 
following checks below. If driveline exceeds any of 
the limits listed, set tractor 3-Point lift limiter at a 
height that will keep the driveline within its lift limits 
and to avoid premature driveline breakdown.
Driveline does not exceed 25
o
 up.
Driveline does not exceed maximum allowable 
length recorded in step 2 under “Check Driveline 
Maximum Length”
.

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity. 
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown. 
A driveline that is operating must not exceed an 
angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating 3-
point lift.

bushings (#6), flat washers (#18), lock washer (#19), 
hex nut (#15), and 5/8"-11 x 7 1/2" GR5 hex head cap 
screw (#10). Tighten hex nut to the correct torque.
3.
Attach spring hose loop mounting bracket (#3) to the 
right-hand clevis with 3/8" -16 x 1" GR5 hex head cap 
screw (#11) and lock nut (#16). Tighten lock nut to the 
correct torque.
4.
Attach spring hose loop (#22) to spring hose loop 
mounting bracket (#3) with 3/8" -16 x 1" GR5 cap 
screw (#9), flat washer (#17), and lock nut (#13) 
Tighten lock nut to the correct torque.
5.
