Gear Box Final Assembly
1. Bearing drag is adjusted by the amount of gaskets
(Item 4, 5, 6) used between the cap and housing ma-
chined surfaces.
2. Put two 0.015 in. gaskets on the machined surface of
the housing, then install the shaft and cap assembly in
the housing so the bearing cone (Item 9) on the shaft
assembly and bearing cup (Item 3) in the housing are
mating. Align the holes in the cap with the holes in the
gaskets and housing.
3. Install capscrews and tighten.
4. The shaft should have a very slight amount of bearing
drag. If the shaft turns hard, the cap must be removed
and gasket(s) need to be added. If the shaft has no
bearing drag, or has end play, the cap must be removed
and gasket(s) taken out. The cap must be adjusted to
where the shaft has no end play and only a slight amount
of bearing drag.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 with the other shaft and cap
assembly.
6. After installing the gear box on the cutting unit, fill it
with SAE 80W90 API GL-5 lubricant to the level of the
check plug (see Maintenance section in this chapter).
