Installation (Fig. 5)
IMPORTANT: If the drive shaft tube and shaft were
separated, make sure that the slip shaft yoke and
slip tube yoke are aligned when the tube and shaft
are assembled (Fig. 3). Misalignment of the yokes
will result in shortened drive shaft life and will cause
unnecessary vibration when the cutting deck (or im-
plement) is operated.

that drive shaft slip shaft yoke (item 5) is toward cutting
deck gearbox shaft.
