An easily removable tubular shield assembly for shielding a drive shaft extending to the front wheels of a work vehicle, such as a tractor. The shield assembly has a plurality of telescoping tubular members forming a continuous tube, and one or more removable devices to lock the tubular members into fixed relative axial positions. The tubular shield can be shortened to expose the ends of the drive shaft and facilitate complete or partial removal of the drive shaft.
