Changing Reversible PTO Stub Shaft (If Equipped)

CAUTION:

TS1644-UN-22AUG95

Keep tractor master shield and driveline shields in place at all times. Make sure rotating shields turn freely.

Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven equipment.

Avoid personal injury. PTO shaft may be hot from operation. Wear gloves and allow shaft to cool before changing.

IMPORTANT: Implements can be operated at 540 rpm only if the power input never exceeds 56 PTO kW (75 PTO hp). Operating PTO at lower speeds under heavy load could damage PTO.

For implement power requirements of 56 PTO kW (75 PTO hp) up to 86 PTO kW (115 PTO hp), PTO shaft must be switched to 1000 rpm end, as described below.

NOTE: The 1000 rpm stub shaft has 21 splines for heavy PTO loads. The 540 rpm stub shaft has 6 splines for loads requiring less than 56 PTO kW (75 PTO hp). Consult implement operator's manual to determine shaft suitability, depending on implement power requirement.

1. Raise PTO shield (If equipped).
