Constant Velocity Driveline
The following instructions are for installation of a
“Constant Velocity Driveline”. Instructions for “Equal
Angle Driveline” begin on page 24.
!
WARNING
Make certain all driveline yokes are securely fastened at both
ends. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing machine damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
!
WARNING
Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor’s master shield and could cause bodily injury or death.
Refer to Figure 1-23:
1. Remove pillow block bearing (#11) from bearing
support (#1). Keep hardware for reattachment.
2. Attach bearing support (#1) to the deck with
1/2"-13 x 3 3/4" GR5 bolts (#3) and whiz nuts (#7).
Tighten hex whiz nuts to the proper torque.
3. Remove shaft protector (#10) from input shaft of
gearbox (#15).
4. Unsnap one end of gearbox shield access
doors (#13) and rotate doors open.
5. Remove conical dog pin or bolts (#5) and fastening
hardware (#6) from slip-clutch end of driveline (#14).
IMPORTANT: Maximum constant velocity driveline
turning angle is limited to 80 degrees.
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
“Lubrication” on page 49.
NOTE: Bearing support is to be placed in front of
chain/rubber guarding.
