Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 12:
1.

Park tractor on a level surface. Slowly engage tractor 
3-Point lift lever to raise cutter until gearbox input 
shaft is in line and level with the tractor PTO shaft.

2.

Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut 
tractor off and remove switch key.

3.

Support cutter deck at this height with support jacks 
or blocks to keep cutter from drifting down. 

4.

Remove rubber protective sleeve (#8) from gearbox 
input shaft and discard.

5.

Unsnap one end of access doors (#9) and rotate 
doors open. 

6.

Slide slip-clutch end of driveline (#11) onto gearbox 
input shaft until hole in driveline yoke aligns with 
groove in gearbox shaft. Insert M12 x 1.25 x 65mm 
GR8 bolt (#2) and secure with flat washer (#4) and 
hex nylock nut (#3). Tighten nylock nut to the correct 
torque.

7.

Push/pull on driveline yoke to be sure it is securely 
fastened to the gearbox shaft.

8.

Rotate access doors (#9) closed and snap in place.

9.

Pull back on driveline yoke collar (#11) and push 
driveline yoke onto the tractor PTO shaft. Release 
pull collar and continue to push driveline yoke 
forward until pull collar locks in place. 

10. Move driveline yoke back and forth several times to 

make sure yoke is locked in place. If driveline yoke 
will not lock in place, skip to “Check Driveline 
Collapsible Length” on this page.

11. Continue with “Check Driveline Collapsible 

Length”.

IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be 
required if cutter is to be used on more than one 
tractor, especially if a Quick Hitch is used.

The driveline must be lubricated before putting it into 
service. Refer to “Lubrication Points” on page 34.

IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long can bottom 
out causing structural damage to tractor and cutter. 
Always check driveline collapsed length during initial 
setup, when connecting to a different tractor, and 
when alternating between using a quick hitch and a 
standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may 
be required to fit all applications.

1.

Make sure driveline is properly installed and level 
before checking driveline collapsible length. Refer to 
“Driveline Installation” instructions on page 12. 

Refer to Figure 1-6:
2.

With driveline level, measure (“B” dimension) back 
from universal joint shield to end of outer driveline 
shield as shown in Figure 1-6. 

3.

If measurement is 1” or more, skip to “Check 
Driveline Interference” on page 14. If measurement 
is less than 1", shorten driveline using instructions 
provided below. 

Be sure to check driveline collapsed length first. If 
required, shorten driveline.

1.

Unhook driveline from tractor PTO shaft. Pull outer 
and inner drivelines apart.

2.

Reattach outer driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on 
inner and outer driveline yokes to be sure universal 
joints are properly secured.

3.

Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other:

a. Measure 1" (“B” dimension) back from outer 

driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at 
this location on the inner driveline shield.

b. Measure 1" (“B” dimension) back from the inner 

driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at 
this location on the outer driveline shield.

4.

Remove driveline from tractor PTO shaft and gearbox 
shaft. 

5.

Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark 
(“X” dimension). Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut 
same amount off the inner shaft (“X1” dimension). 

6.

Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark 
(“Y” dimension). Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut 
same amount off the outer shaft (“Y1” dimension). 

7.

Remove all burrs and cuttings. 

8.

Continue with “Check Driveline Maximum Length” 
on page 14.
