Shorten Driveline - Land Pride FDR3690 Operator's Manual

Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up

Shorten Driveline

Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 11:
Be sure to first check driveline collapsed length as
instructed above. If required, shorten driveline as follows:
1. Unhook driveline from tractor power take-off shaft
and pull outer and inner drivelines apart.
2. Reattach outer driveline to tractor power take-off
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.
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".
Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Make sure driveline collapsible length is checked first.
See "Check Driveline Collapsible Length" on page 11.
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1. If not already completed, apply multi-purpose grease
to inside of outer profile and reassemble driveline.
2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown in
Figure 1-5. Once assembled, measure and record
the maximum allowable length for future reference.
Record Maximum Allowable Length here: ________
3. Reattach driveline to tractor and gearbox shaft
following "Driveline Installation" steps 1 to 7 on
page 11.
4. Continue with "Check Driveline Interference" on
page 12.

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
Check Driveline Interference
1. Start tractor and raise Grooming Mower just enough
to remove support blocks from under mower.
2. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-Point control lever
to lower mower while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if
required.
Refer to Figure 1-6:
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up
or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break and
send projectiles.
3. With power take-off off, raise implement fully up and
make the following checks below. If driveline exceeds
any of the limits listed, set tractor 3-Point lift limiter at
a height that will keep the driveline within its lift limits
to avoid premature driveline breakdown.
•
Driveline does not exceed 25
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum allowable
length recorded in step 2 under "Check Driveline
Maximum Length".
