Checking Pto Length During Turns - Progressive Turf Equipment TD 92 Operator's Manual And Parts List

CHECK PTO LENGTH DURING TURNS
During the mowing operation the tractor should be able to make turns
without damage to the driveline. To ensure proper setup check the
following conditions:
a) With the tractor and mower aligned, and the input PTO straight, turn the
shields on the input PTO to check that the holes line up for greasing the
input shaft tubes. If not, you will have to lengthen or shorten the drawbar. It
should be 14" to 15" from the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the draw
pin hole.
b) With the tractor in the lowest gear and traveling very slowly, make a sharp
turn to the right as required for mowing.
c) Watch the PTO shielding to make sure the PTO shaft does not totally
collapse. There should be 1" to 2" of black PTO shielding left at maximum
turn. See picture below.
NOTE: This is not the worst condition. Making turns while the tractor is
angling up a hill will cause the PTO shaft to collapse even more. The
operator should avoid making sharp turns on uneven ground.
