Driveline Lubrication
Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the
U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the
telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in
the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every 16
hours (Figure Mnt-0012).
Driveline Shield - Pull-Type
The Driveline Integral Shields should not become
dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield
Assembly has a Nylon Bearing at each end and
should turn freely (Figure Mnt-0012). This nylon
bearing should require lubrication every 8 hours. To
remove the Integral Shields for replacement or
repair, turn the three Nylon Nuts 1/4 turn in the
Shield Slots of the Cone and Tube and remove
them. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner
section of the Driveline. Install the new or repaired
Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon
Bearing over the Driveline Housing of Shaft against
the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield
over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into the
Shield Bearing Retainer. Align a slot in the Shield
Cone with one of the slots in the Shield. Put one of
the Nylon Nuts back in through the aligned slots
and turn until it is perpendicular to the slots. Add the
other two Nylon Nuts.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
