Figure 5. Find the "X" Distance
2. From the table on the preceding page, use the "Y"
value according to the snow blower model and sub-
tract that number from the "X" distance measured
previously to determine "L".
3. Hold the two half-shafts side by side and locate the
"L" length between the two center-to-center half-
shaft universal joints. Mark off the zone to be cut
on both halves opposite each half-shaft guard as
shown in Figure 5.
4. Cut inner and outer plastic guard tubes.
5. Cut the steel tubes to leave the 1-1/4" between the
end of the guard and the end of each tube.

6. File the ends of the tubes to remove burrs and clean
out any chips.

Driveline Installation
Figure 7
1. Remove the paint from the gearbox shaft (item 1)
and grease if needed. Grease also the sliding sur-
faces and yoke (item 2) of the driveline.
2. Remove the bolts (item 3) from the yoke (item 2)
and connect the yoke to the gearbox shaft (item 1).
Secure the driveline by reinstalling the bolts and
nuts (items 3-4) in the order shown. Tighten all bolts
according to the Bolt Torque Chart specifications at
the end of the manual.
3. Install the driveline (item 5) on the tractor's PTO
shaft.
4. Raise the snow blower slowly to the maximum
height while ensuring that there is enough room be-
tween the two sections of the driveline. Also make
sure it is long enough when lowered.
■ Avoid serious injury or death – This shaft rotates
at high speed (540 RPM). If the quick release
system is not securely locked on the tractor
shaft, (a click must be heard), or if the coupling
to the snow blower is not secured correctly, the
driveline can be released with force which can
cause serious injury or death.
