maximum extended position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be
approximately 6" (see fig. 17).
If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor
half to the tiller.
2. Raise and lower the machine with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the
driveline is shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and mark the desired length on
the outer female guard tube leaving a 2" gap between the end of the guard tube and
bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner
telescoping tube.
6. Reassemble the driveline halves and connect to tractor and tiller. Raise and lower
tiller again to be sure driveline does not bottom out in shortest position and has a
minimum overlap of 6" in the longest position.
7. Install both driveline safety chains. One should be hooked in a hole on the outer
driveline yoke shield and to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation. The second
one should be hooked in a hole on the inner driveline yoke shield and to the
implement to restrict inner shield rotation.
If determined that the driveline is too short for your tractor, do not use and purchase a
longer driveline.
CAUTION: Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will
prolong its life and that of its components. It is advised not to work at an angle
greater than 15 degrees.
