Usually element replacement at each 150 hours of
additional service will provide satisfactory filter-
ing, however,
under extreme conditions this may
not be true. The condition of the oil· will indicate
the condition of the filter element; Should the oil
quickly become discolored aud show evidence of
contamination, change the element without delay.
B-43. Air Cleaner
The care of the air cleaner is extremely important
at all times but especially s:> when the vehicle
is
used for industrial or field work.
When operation is under dusty conditions, clean
and refill the cleaner reservoir to the full mark
daily and under e'xtreme conditions twice daily.
When . servicing the unit, use a suitable tool to
dislodge dirt clinging to the bottom and sides of
the intake passage within the body of the cleaner.
B-44. Front Axle Shaft Universal Joints
The front axle steering knuckle pivot pins (king
pins) are supported in housings at each end of the
front axle which also enclose the front axle shaft
universal joints.
Maintain the lubricant level in the housings even
with the filler plug openings at all times. For field
or industrial use remove the universal joints twice
yearly, thoroughly clean both the housings and
joints with a suitable solvent and refill the housings
to the filler plug opening levels with the correct
lubricant as shown in the appropriate Lubrication
Specification Chart.
B-45. Transmission and Transfer Case
The combined capacity of the two housings is
small for economy, making it important that the
lubricant be changed at regular intervals.
For heavy duty farm or industrial work, drain
both housings every 300 hours of operation and re-
fill
to the filler plug opening levels.
B-46. Front and Rear Axle Differentials
Because of the higher pressures developed in the
axle assemblies with heavy-duty operation drain,
flush, and refill the differential assemblies each 300
hours of operation. Use only flushing oil or light
engine oil to clean out the housings (except Powr-
Lok differentials).
B-47. Power Take-Off and Pulley Drive
Check the lubrication level each time the vehicle
is
lubricated to be sure that the housings are filled
to filler opening levels. Should the units be used
often drain and refill the housings each 300 hours
of operation.
B-48. Power Take-Off Propeller Shaft
Universal Joints
For average use the original factory lubrication
will last the life of the vehicle. Should the power
take-off be used often, however, for long periods of
time, disassemble and repack the joints once each
year.
When repacking, guard against overfilling for
hydraulic action may damage the boots. The
capacity of each joint is one fluid ounce.
B-49. Centrifugal Governor
Check the oil level in the governor housing at each
vehicle lubrication. Use the same seasonal grade
oil as is used in the engine and change oil at each
engine oil change. Do not fill the housing above
the level indicating plug opening. Keep the vent
in the filler plug open at all times.
B-50. Hydraulic Lift Lubrication
For lubrication requirements for the Monroe
Hydraulic Lift, refer to Sec. U.
