Just got me a brand spankin new Howse Brush Hog. But the directions say I may need to cut the drive shaft (which is triangular, and I do need to cut it) How do I know how much to cut?? When I raise the hog too much it whacks the driveshaft. Help??

Nolan had the right idea. Just set the quadrant stop at the point just before the shaft hits the deck. Also make sure the top link is correctly adjusted. The shorter it is, the higher(not much) you can raise the deck before the shaft hits it. But it also has the effect of raising the back of the deck.

Raising the deck and having it hit the driveshaft is not an indication of the drive shaft being too long. It's an indication of you lifting the hog too high. Probably most of us can rub our driveshafts on our hogs if we lift them as high as possible.

Mine was too long. Couldn't even get the bugger hooked to the pto with the overrunning coupler. I figured how much too long and cut an equal amount off of each shaft. If you don't cut some off each section then the it doesn't really change the length because one end bottoms out before it hits the middle thus exposing the other shaft. That is if each shaft covers the other completely when telescoped together. If you are using a chop saw then cut 1" off each end and try it out. You can always cut more. If you are using a hack saw then you had better figure it out first and then do your cuttin. Try not to burr the edges too much or you will have to do a lot of filing to get them to fit together again. Good Luck!!
