NH 55 Rake Driveline Length

It looks like this driveline may be for another model. Does anyone know what the collapsed length of the model 55 driveline should be? I can take this one and have it shortened so it would work which would beat having to buy one. Thanks in advance for the help.

if i remember right one time when i had the left side clear up and the right side down - to like respread some windrows out - one time it did fall off - but i put it back - lowered it a crank or so - and that was enough to make it long enough

You know they are a 3-piece deal, not just 2 like a pto shaft? Kinda sounds like you got something someone wanted to cobble together to maybe work.....

Go to the New Holland site.

Click on search for parts in the lower right.

Type in 55 for model number.

Scroll through the results until you get to the 55 rollabar rake.

Click on it, and then the 006 gearbox assembly.

This will show you the part number you need.

If you click the plus sign a few times to zoom in on the diagram, you will see tha part #28 is a 3 piece telescoping shaft.

What I was told was that our local repair shop was cleaning out old inventory and had this driveline on the shelf and gave it to the fellow with the rake.

I've been on the NH parts site and have the entire rake saved (rebuilt the gearbox this winter)but just hadn't talked with the local parts guy to see what the dimensions were on the driveline.

Looking at the response above, I'll check it out tonight and see what the lengths are. Thanks to all for the help.
