Shortening Driveline
1. Move the tiller up and down to get the shortest possible
distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input
shaft. Leave the tiller in the minimum distance position.
Install jack stands under the tiller for support.
2. Separate the driveline into two halves and connect them to
the tractor and the gearbox.
3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine
how much to shorten the driveline.

4. Measure from end of the upper shield to the base of the
bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-1/2" to dimension (A).

5. Cut the upper shield to this overall dimension

6. Place the cut portion of the shield against the end of the
shaft and use as a guide. Mark and cut the shaft.

7. Repeat step 6 for the other half of the drive.
8. File and clean the cut ends of both drive halves. Ensure the
drive halves slide smoothly together.
Do not run the tractor if proper driveline engagement
cannot be obtained through these methods.
Connect the driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure
the spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks
driveline to PTO shaft.
NOTICE
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.
