3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine
how much to shorten the driveline.

Do not use tractor if proper driveline engagement cannot
be obtained through these methods.
Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the
spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks
driveline to PTO shaft.
NOTE: If attaching with quick hitch, the distance between
the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft will increase.
Please follow the steps as you would for a 3-point hitch to
insure proper engagement.
