shorter the shaft must be, when connected, to ensure a
clearance of 1.5 inches (37 mm).
A. Subtract the dimension recorded in step 3 from the
dimension recorded in step 2. Record this
dimension.
B. Subtract the result in step 5A from 1.5" (37mm).
The PTO shaft must be shortened by this amount.
6. Using a hacksaw, cut the yellow guards and the steel
tubes shorter by the calculated length. Cut both halves
of the PTO shaft
7. Deburr ends of steel tubes internally and externally.
8. Remove all debris from tube sections.
