Section 1: Assembly and Set-up
Driveline Maximum Allowable Length
Refer to Figure 1-8:
Be sure to check driveline minimum length before
checking driveline maximum allowable length.
Driveline maximum allowable length, when fully
extended, must have a minimum overlap of profile tubes
by not less than 1/3 the free length with both inner and
outer profile tubes being of equal length.

Driveline Maximum Length
Figure 1-8
1. With driveline profiles pulled apart, measure and
record driveline free length of each profile.
2. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
profile and reassemble the two profiles.
3. Move driveline halves together until profile tubes
overlap by 1/3 the free length. Measure and record
maximum allowable length shown in Figure 1-8.
4. Attach inner driveline yoke to gearbox shaft and
outer driveline yoke to tractor's PTO shaft. Secure
driveline in place with driveline locking devices.
5. Move driveline back and forth to insure that both
ends are secured. Reattach any end that is loose.
IMPORTANT: Two chains are supplied with the
driveline. These chains must be attached to the
outer and inner yoke shields and to the Rotary Tiller
and tractor to keep driveline shields from rotating.
6. Hook a safety chain in the hole on the outer driveline
yoke shield and its opposite end to the tractor.
7. Hook the other safety chain in the hole on the inner
driveline yoke shield and its opposite end to the
Rotary Tiller.
8. Start tractor and raise Rotary Tiller just enough to
remove support blocks from under the Rotary Tiller.
9. Slowly engage tractor's 3-point controls to lower
Rotary Tiller. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance.
Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if required.
10. Raise and lower implement to find the maximum
possible extended driveline length. Check to make
certain that the driveline has not extended beyond
the maximum allowable length recorded in step 3.

sprocket and jam nut. Tighten jam nut up against feeler
gauge until snug. Pull feeler gauge out and tighten jam
nut 1/6 of a turn.
NOTE: The input shaft on gearbox should turn using
hand pressure.
