OK Guys, yet another newbie question.
Went to hook up my 5' bush hog for the first time this weekend and had 2 issues even before i started cutting.
1) I learned why its important to store the Cutter on level ground, what a pain trying to line up the 3 Pont hitch !!
well i got that done and then ..
2) I slide the shaft onto the PTO but Im thinking not far enough...there is a groove in the PTO shaft about 2 " down, and im guessiogn the collar of the mower shaft is supposed to go down that far at least.
there is no spring loaded collar onthe mower shaft but i couldnt get it to slide down more than 1 1/2 inches, just before that groove....what am i doing wrong ? how do i get it to go on farther ?
