Driveline Installation

!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person's body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
• All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
• Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor's power take-off shield.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always disengage power take-off, put tractor in park or set
park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and
wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting
tractor.
!
CAUTION
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Do not exceed 540 rpm power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement will be attached to more than
one tractor.
The driveline must be lubricated before putting it into
service. Refer to "Lubrication" on page 28.
The power take-off shaft and gearbox input shaft
must be aligned and level with each other when
checking driveline minimum length. A driveline that is
too long can damage tractor and implement.
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Remove rubber protective sleeve (#5) from gearbox
input shaft.
2. Unsnap side access doors (#7) from both sides of the
gearbox shield. Save covers for reuse.
3. Slide slip-clutch end of driveline (#6) onto the gearbox
shaft until hole in yoke aligns with notch in shaft.
4. Insert clamp bolts (#2) through hole in driveline yoke
and notch in driveline (#6)
5. Secure bolts (2) with lock washers (#4) and
nuts (#3). Tighten nuts to the correct torque.
6. Reinstall access covers (#7).
7. Raise driveline (#6) up and rotate driveline hook (#1)
down.
8. Lower driveline (#6) until resting in driveline
hook (#1).

Tractor Hook-Up

!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
NOTE: Land Pride's Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
A 3-point Category II or Category III hitch is required. The
lower 3-point arms of the 3-point hitch must be stabilized
to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have
sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
Determine your tractor's hitch category.
•
A Category II tractor will have a 1 1/8" dia. hole in the
lower hitch links and a 1" dia hole in the top link.
•
A Category III tractor will have a 1 7/16" dia. hole in the
lower hitch links and a 1 5/16" dia hole in the top link.
Refer to Figure 1-6:
1. Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using
tractor's 3-point hydraulic control lever to align lower
3-point lift arm holes with cutter hitch pins (#3).
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Slide lower 3-point lift arms onto cutter hitch
pins (#3). Install linchpins (#7) through hitch pin
holes to lock lower 3-point arms into position.
4. Connect top center link to upper hitch with customer
supplied 1" clevis pin (#6) and hairpin cotter (#5). If
your tractor is a Category III, then a customer
supplied 1 1/4" spacer (#1) will be required.
