Refer to Figure 1-12:
4. The PTO driveline will require shortening if it is too
long to fit between the tractor and gearbox. Shorten
driveline as follows:
a. Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor
engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.
b. Pull driveline apart as shown in Figure 1-12: on
page 13. Attach the outer yoke section to the
tractor shaft and inner yoke section to the cutter
gearbox shaft. Pull on each driveline section to be
sure the universal joints are secured to the shafts.
c. Hold the driveline sections parallel to each other
to determine if they are too long. The inner and
outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching the universal
joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B”
dimension). If they are too long, measure 1" (“B”
dimension) back from the universal joint shield
and make a mark at this location on the inner and
outer driveline shields.
d. Cut off the shield at the mark (“X” dimension). Cut
the same amount off the shaft (“X1” dimension).
Repeat cut off procedure (“Y”&“Y1” dimensions)
to the other driveline half.
e. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

Check Driveline Maximum Length
Make sure you have gone through the steps in “Check
Driveline Minimum Length” on page 12 before
checking maximum length.

Refer to Figure 1-13:
The driveline maximum length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 1/3 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.

1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/3 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown in
Figure 1-13. Measure and record this overall length
for checking driveline length in step 9 below.
3. Attach inner driveline yoke end to the Overseeder
gearbox input shaft.
4. Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's PTO
shaft.
5. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and
Overseeder PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is
loose.
6. Hook driveline safety chain in the hole in the inner
driveline guard. Attach the other end to the
Overseeder’s main frame.
7. Start tractor and raise Overseeder just enough to
remove blocks used to support the Overseeder frame
in step 4a on page 13.
8. Slowly engage the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lower
the Overseeder. Check for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if
required.
9. Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended driveline length. Check to make certain
that the driveline overall length does not extend
beyond the maximum recorded length in step 2
above.

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
IMPORTANT: A small chain is supplied with the
driveline. This chain must be attached to the inner
driveline shield and to the Overseeder to restrict
shield rotation.
