DRIVELINE INSTALLATION (TRACTOR
PTO)
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
To Install:
Pull locking collar back and at the same time push the
driveline onto tractor PTO shaft until locking device
engages.
To Remove:
Hold driveline into position, pull locking collar back, and
slide driveline off tractor PTO shaft.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and
lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis-
tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will
be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation
and damage the cutter or tractor.
The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at
least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during normal
operation. There must be at least 4 inches of engage-
ment at the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation.
Driveline must not bottom out when raised to the maxi-
mum height possible.
If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer
for a longer driveline.
If driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for
shortening the driveline.
SHORTEN DRIVELINE
1. Move cutter up and down to get the shortest
possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and
gearbox input shaft.
2. Separate driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.
3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to
determine how much to shorten the driveline.

4. Measure from end of the upper shield to the base
of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-9/16" to
dimension (A). See Figure 7.
