SHORTEN DRIVELINE
NOTE: On some smaller tractors the driveline may
need to be shortened to allow connection to the PTO
shaft. The pictures shown in these instructions are to
be used as an example and do not show the chipper.
1. Attach equipment to the tractor 3-point hitch.
2. Raise and lower the equipment to determine the
minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft
and the gearbox input shaft.
3. Leave the equipment in the minimum position.
4. Separate the driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and equipment gearbox.
5. Place the two halves parallel to one another to
determine how much the driveline must be
shortened. See Figure 8.
Figure 8. Drive Halves Placed Parallel
6. Measure from the end of the upper shield to the
base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-
9/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 9.

7. Cut the shield to the overall dimension. See Figure
10.

8. Place the cutoff portion of the shield against the
end of the shaft and use it as a guide. Mark and cut
the shaft. See Figure 11.

TRACTOR - MODEL 8100 ONLY
There are two electrical wires (red and white) that
come wrapped around the three-point PTO connector.
1. Connect the red wire to a 12-volt power source,
such as the alternator or the battery.
2. Ground the white wire (connect to negative post on
the battery or another point.
