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 mower. Raise and lower
mower again to be sure driveline does not bottom out in its 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, contact your local dealer.
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.
4.07 - Transport
Before raising the mower for transport, the tractor top link must be adjusted so when
lifted, the rear of the machine is higher than the front (the mower’s nose is tilted
downward). To do this, shorten the tractor top link until the top hitch plate is locked
forward and no longer able to pivot. This will keep the mower locked in position and
minimize the shaking and bouncing during transport which can damage the hitch or
frame.
When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or the
tractor. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.
