7.3 ATTACHING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR _____________________________
P.T.O. SHAFT
A standard P.T.O. shaft is provided and this will have to be
shortened in length to suit the tractor being used. It is
essential that no more than is necessary is cut off as
maximum engagement of the sliding portion is needed to
prevent excessive wear.
Adequate deburring and radiusing of the cut ends must be
carried out.
NOTE: On certain tractors it will be impossible to lift the
machine to the maximum height on the three point linkage
without the sliding part of the P.T.O. shaft disengaging. Stops must be set correctly on the tractor lift quadrant to
limit the lift height to prevent the disengagement of the P.T.O. shaft.
