Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to buy a pair of replacement arms from TSC. My only hope is that the hole in the middle of the arm matches up. Then I want to get the Pat's Easy Change system regardless. With those two combined, I will gain 6 1/2 inches. That would mean I would be...

OK ... so if I have two sticks that are 6 dashes long as below: ------ ------ ------------ (fully extended) Now .... with those two sticks on top of each other or in our tractor drive line question one stick inside the other (compressed) they are still both combined only 6 dashes long. Fully...

BCZoom - The shortest the drive line can go together is at 27 1/2 inches. My understanding is that you have to take the total reduction off both sides. 9 inches would come off both ends. If you only took 4 1/2 off you would only get a reduction in size of 4 1/2. I think. - JW

BCZoom - I can grab some pictures. The tiller is currently attached to the tractor ... of course without the drive line. If I measure the distance between the two pto attachment locations (tractor and tiller) I have only 21 1/2 inches. The drive line is 27 1/2 inches. For me to use that...

Bob - Let me see if I can clear this up. The total distance I have between my tractor drive line mount and the tiller drive line mount (to the bolt notch) is 19 inches or so. The drive line attachment ends comprise almost 15" of the current drive line I have for the tiller. The total length...

BCzoom - Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm OK with cutting the one I have but I'm concerned that cutting it as short as I need to cut is safe/wise to do. I'm going off recollection here but I would be cutting the plastic cover almost down to just an inch or so remaining and the actual...

Hi ... I'm in a pickle here. I own an E350 - DI and just bought a tiller. The drive shaft is too long. I know that I need to shorten it. My problem is that the drive shaft I have is 27 1/2 inches and the length I need is about 19 inches. I need to cut close to 9 inches off this thing. That...
