4. Each input and output shaft should be checked for excessive endplay after each
crop cycle. Disconnecting the driveline coupler & tapping the input shaft on both
sides with a dead blow hammer or mallet does this. If play is present, input
shims should be installed to eliminate bearing backlash.
5. All cover and end cap bolts should be torqued to 28-31 ft.-lbs (38-42 N-m).
6. All wheel lug nuts should be torqued to 115-120 ft.-lbs (156-162 N-m).
7. Remove drain plug located at bottom of gearbox and completely drain gearbox.
If oil is contaminated or emulsifi ed, fl ush gearbox with a cup of specifi ed oil and
let drain completely.
8. Replace drain plug and refi ll gearbox through top fi ll hole to the proper operating
level (top of worm gear) as shown below. After one or two hours the oil should be
re-checked. Air may be trapped in the gearbox during initial fi lling. Top off with oil
as needed.

5. Each input shaft should be checked for excessive endplay after each crop cycle, this is done by
disconnecting the drive-line coupler & tapping the input shaft on both sides with a dead blow
hammer or mallet. If any axial endplay is present, input shims should be installed to eliminate the
endplay.
6. Inspect the Hub Cap (Shaft Guard), on the unused side of the input shaft, for looseness, damage
or corrosion. Replace if necessary or if it is missing. This will protect the input shaft and seals
from the elements.
7. All 3/8-16 cover and end cap bolt torque should be 28-31 ft. lbs.
8. All 9/18-18-wheel lug nut torque should be 115-120 ft. lbs.
9. Remove the plug located at bottom of the gearbox and completely drain the gearbox oil. If the oil
is contaminated or emulsified, flush the gearbox with a cup of specified oil and let it drain
completely.
10. Replace the drain plug at the bottom of the gearbox. Fill the gearbox with the proper oil, through
the top fill hole, to the operating oil level range. The oil level range is from the top of the Worm
shank (next to the bearing cone) to the bottom of the oil fill hole (at 70
�F ambient temperature)
as shown in Diagram FD-2. Refer to oil specification.
