Driveline Installation
The driveline is coupled to the tractor shaft with either
push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a combination
of both and on the implement end with a slip clutch and
pull collar coupler for protection from shock loads.
Always engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
driveline start-up torque. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication on page 33: for
a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
If the Overseeder is used on more than one tractor, an
additional driveline may be required - especially if a quick
hitch is used.
!
DANGER
Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or stand near a rotating driveline. A person’s body
and/or clothing can become entangled in the driveline
resulting in serious injury or death.
!
CAUTION
Do not use a PTO adaptor. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to the
shaft and driveline.
!
CAUTION
Tractor PTO shield, driveline shields and all Overseeder
guards must be in place at all times during operation!
!
CAUTION
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut off tractor
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

Hook-up Driveline
1.
Park tractor on a level surface. Slowly engage tractor
3-point lift lever to raise seeder until gearbox shaft is
in line (level) with the tractor PTO shaft.
2.
Support seeder at this height with support jacks or
blocks to keep seeder from drifting down.
3.
Place gear selector in park, set park brake, shut
tractor off and remove switch key.
4.
Slide the slip clutch or shear bolt yoke end of
driveline over the splined input shaft of gearbox.
Secure with driveline yoke locking device.
5.
Slide other end of driveline over the tractor PTO
shaft. Secure driveline with yoke locking device.
6.
The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
insure both ends are secured to the tractor and cutter
shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.
Check Driveline Collapsible Length
Refer to Figure 1-10 on page 13:
1.
Make sure driveline is properly installed and level
before checking driveline collapsible length. (Refer to
“Hook-up Driveline” instructions above if needed.)
2.
With driveline level, measure 1" (“B” dimension)
back from universal joint shield to end of outer
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-6 on page 11.
IMPORTANT: An additional PTO shaft may be
required if the seeder is to be used on more than
one tractor, especially if a quick hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to “Lubrication
Points” on page 40.
IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with
multispeed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s
PTO is set for 540 rpm.
IMPORTANT: The tractor’s PTO shaft and seeder
gearbox shaft must be aligned and level with each
other during installation of driveline.
NOTE: For easier access to gearbox input shaft,
remove driveline guard above the gearbox.
IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long to fit
between tractor and seeder will bottom out causing
structural damage to tractor and seeder.
Always check driveline collapsible length during
initial setup, when connecting to a different tractor
and when alternating between a quick hitch and a
standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may
be required to fit all applications.
