Driveshafts

With the exception of 2011 F550 chassis*, the driveshaft in your EB2 tractor is a custom shortened factory driveshaft.
The stock driveshaft will NOT work in your tractor without modification. Your local Ford dealer and/or a driveline
repair shop can supply replacement and service parts for the driveshaft.
Driveshaft grease fittings should be greased every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) with standard #2 chassis lube until ex-
cess grease is forced from the joint. The center bearing in the 2011 F550 double-cardan joint should be greased every
1,500 miles with 5 pumps of Shell Albida EP 2 grease or equivalent. Do not grease until excess grease is visible, as
over-greasing of this joint can result in damage to the rubber boot.
Should you require a complete replacement, please provide Eagle Tugs with the VIN and the below measurement
"X" taken from the driveshaft provided with your tractor.
* The 2011 F550 features custom manufactured components. Please contact Eagle Tugs for service and replace-
ment.
