Shorten Driveline

Refer to Figure 1-7:
Be sure to first check "Check Driveline Collapsible
Length". If required, shorten driveline as follows:
1. Unhook driveline from tractor PTO shaft and pull
outer and inner drivelines apart.
2. Reattach outer driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on
inner and outer drivelines 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 and gearbox shafts.
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. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble driveline.
