If the unit has been torn down completely, the 

following summary identifies the assembly pro-

cedures necessary to completely assemble the 

unit . Each assembly procedure is located by a 

page reference .
The part reference numbers provided in each 

assembly procedure are keyed to the individual 

exploded views, and are also keyed to the com-

plete unit exploded view on page 36 .
1 . Assemble  the  center  section  assembly 

(shock valves, bypass cover, charge relief 

ball & spring and plug, motor shaft & brake 

rotor) then set aside .

2 . Install the 2-speed shaft and cam into the 

main housing, if so equipped .

3 . Install the motor thrust bearing and swashplate 

into the main housing .

4 .  Install  the  motor  block  assembly  onto  the 

motor shaft .

5 . Install the center section assembly into the 

main housing .

6 . Install the four center section screws .  Tighten 

the screw below the brake assembly first, 

tighten completely, then tighten the remain-

ing screws . 

7 . Install the oil tube .
8. Install the filter and cover.
9 . Install the pump block assembly, thrust bear-

ing and trunnion swashplate into the main 

housing .

10 . Install the input shaft, bearing, seal & retain-

ing ring into the main housing .

11 .  Install  the  charge  pump  assembly  (seal, 

push  O-ring  tubes,  gerotor,  O-ring  and 

cover) onto the main housing .

12. Install any removed plugs/fittings into the 

main  housing  located  above  the  bypass 

bore .

assembly afTer a COmpleTe TeardOwn

13 . Install the bypass rod, wave washer and 

retaining ring .

14 . Install the three planet gears (96) onto the 

carrier  (98)  and  then  onto  the  axle  shaft 

(103) .    Install  the  sun  gear  (97)  onto  the 

axle shaft (103) .  Install the gear (94), thrust 

spacer (102) and retaining ring (101)onto 

the axle shaft and set assembly aside .  In-

stall the thrust ball (100) into the main hous-

ing . Place the axle assembly into the main 

housing .  Install the ring gear (95) onto the 

axle shaft so that the teeth mesh with the 

planet gears .

Note:

  Make sure that two of the tabs on the 

outer  diameter  of  the  ring  gear  (95) 

locate between the tabs cast into the 

main housing. 

  Install the washer (104) and bearing (105) 

onto the axle .

15 . Place a small dab of sealant on each end  

of the oil tube just before the bend .  The 

sealant should contact the inside of the side 

housing when it is installed . Place a small 

bead of sealant on the  side housing . Mate 

the side housing with the main housing and 

install the housing screws .

16 . Install the two speed actuating handle (168) 

and the external retaining ring (169), if so 

equipped .

17 .  Install  the  bushing  (128)  and  brake  arm

spacer (53) onto the short stud (52) . Install 

the control arm (54) onto the trunnion shaft .  

Secure the control arm to the trunnion shaft 

with Torx Head capscrew (56) .  Install the 

washer (55) and nut (57) .
