Driveline Installation

DANGER

Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A
person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not use PTO adapters. A PTO adapter will increase strain

on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor’s master shield.

• Always disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park

brake, shut tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for
blades to stop before dismounting from tractor.

• Make certain all driveline yokes are securely fastened at both

ends. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing machine damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.

• Do not operate cutter above its rated PTO speed or machine

breakage may result.

The main driveline may be either constant velocity type
or conventional type. Pull-collar coupler and retaining
bolts are used to connect the driveline to the tractor and
implement gearbox, respectively.

Refer to Figure 1-16:
1.

Remove hex whiz nuts (#4A) and shipping
bracket (#2). Discard shipping bracket.

Slide driveline (#5) off end of shipping bracket (#1).
Set driveline aside for attaching to splitter box later.

Reattach hex whiz nuts (#4A) to carriage bolts (#3)
and tighten them to the correct torque.

Remove hex whiz nuts (#4B) and shipping
bracket (#1). Discard shipping bracket.

Reattach hex whiz nuts (#4B) to carriage bolts (#3)
and tighten them to the correct torque.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate a 540 rpm
driveline at 1,000 rpm or a 1,000 rpm driveline at 540
rpm. Many tractors provide both 540 and 1,000 rpm
PTO modes. Check your tractor’s manual to
determine its capabilities.

IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to “Lubrication
Points” on page 49.

NOTE: Complete “Unfolding Wing Deck”
instructions on page 18 before removing driveline
from its shipping location.
