SERVICE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Lubricate the splines thoroughly (refer to page 10)
and assemble on the shaft. BE SURE that the arrows or
marks on the shaft and slip joint are in line, since the
sleeve yoke lugs must be in the same plane as the stud
ball yoke lugs to prevent excessive vibration (Fig. 37).
The cork washer should be replaced if necessary
before assembling with the dust cap and steel washer on
the
sleeve
yoke.
INSTALLING PROPELLER SHAFT
1.
Propeller Shaft Assembly - Place in a pair of centers
and check the shaft for runout if not previously done
during assembly. The runout on the tube should not
be more than .38 mm (.015") indicator reading, and
on the neck of the slip stub shaft the runout should
not be more than .12 mm (.005") indicator reading.
Mark the high and low points on the shaft with chalk
and straighten if necessary. Install with the slip joint
nearest the source of power. Tighten the flange
bolts evenly after the nuts and NEW lockwashers are
in place.

TWO-JOINT PROPELLER SHAFT
It is of primary importance that universal joints of
sufficient capacity be used. When assembling the slip
joint on the shaft, care must be taken to place the sleeve
yoke lugs (12) in the same plane as the shaft yoke lugs
(13). Arrows will be found stamped on the sleeve and
shaft for this purpose.
Install
transmission
so
that
the
transmission
mainshaft and axle pinion shaft are parallel or nearly so,
in order to keep the angles (X) on both joints as nearly
equal as possible. See Fig. 40. If this method results in
angles (X) of more than 12 degree, use the method
shown in Fig. 41, where the axle pinion shaft is tilted
upward to enable the centerlines to intersect at a point
midway between the joint centers, thus giving equal
angles (Y).
