CAUTION: Remove driveshaft if towing machine with front wheels on a carrier. Loss of electrical power or transmission-hydraulic system pressure engages the MFWD and pulls machine off the carrier.

IMPORTANT: NEVER attempt to start machine by towing, engine does not start by towing and damage occurs.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to tow the machine without releasing the park brake, see “Release Park Brake for Towing” in this section.

1. Remove driveshaft

   1. Remove cap screws and slide driveshaft shield (C) away from each end of the shaft.

   2. Remove coupler nut and bolt (A).

   3. While supporting driveshaft, slide coupler (B) toward shield (C) to remove

   4. Remove driveshaft, shields, and couplers.

2. 1. If possible, run engine above 1250 rpm for lubrication, power steering, and power brakes. Have an operator steer and brake machine.

   2. If not possible to run engine, add 46 L (12.2 gal) of transmission-hydraulic oil to transmission. Drain oil after transporting.

3. Disengage differential lock, tap brake pedals.

4. Disengage PTO.

5. Place left-hand reverser in Neutral position.

6. Do not tow machine faster than 8 km/h (5 mph). Do not exceed 3 km/h (2 mph) for the first 10 minutes at temperatures below freezing.

7. If towing machine with front wheels on carrier, oil level must be above the full oil level mark on dipstick. Add 1 L (0.26 gal) for each 90 mm (3-1/2 in) front wheels are raised off the ground.

After Towing:

1. Apply multipurpose grease to couplers and shaft splines, and reinstall driveshaft assembly.

2. Drain excess transmission-hydraulic oil to return level back to full.

3. Check oil level with dipstick (D) after draining and after operating for five minutes.
