Driveline Installation
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor shaft with
either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a
combination of both and on the implement end with a slip
clutch and pull collar coupler for protection from shock
loads.
Always engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
driveline start-up torque. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
“Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication” on page 31 for a
detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
If the Overseeder is to be used on more than one tractor,
an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
!
CAUTION
Tractor PTO shields and guards must be in place at all times
during operation!
!
CAUTION
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can
damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.

IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with
multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s
PTO is set for 540 rpm.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline
breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not
exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while
operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-10.

Check Driveline Minimum Length
Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic
3-point lift to raise the lower arms until the
Overseeder’s driveline shaft is approximately level
with tractor's PTO shaft.
2. Slide slip clutch end of driveline over the splined
input shaft of gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke
locking device.
3. Slide opposite end of driveline yoke over the tractor’s
splined PTO shaft. Secure with driveline yoke locking
device. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor
and implement.

IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and
minimum length during initial set-up, when
connecting to a different tractor and when
alternating between using a quick hitch and a
standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may
be required to fit all applications.
IMPORTANT: Itis necessary to aligning the tractor’s
PTO shaft level with Overseeder’s PTO shaft when
checking to see if the driveline’s minimum length is
correct. Too long a driveline can damage the tractor,
gearbox and driveline.
IMPORTANT: For easier access to gearbox input
shaft, remove driveline guard at the gearbox.
