Figure 51 – Grease points
The PTO shaft is designed to telescope while the three-point
hitch goes through its operational range. A heavy duty plastic
tubular guard encloses the driving components.
The PTO shaft should telescope easily and the guard should
turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly,
cleaning, and lubrication is recommended to make sure that all
components function correctly.
Make sure that the universal joints are lubricated, examine and
lubricate them every 50 hours.
The PTO shaft has a shear pin at the input yoke to prevent
overloading the drive system. The skidding winch is designed
to perform well without the shear pin failing. However, if the pin
fails, usually it is because the skidding winch was overloaded.
9.4 Lubricate the Drive Chain
IMPORTANT! Do not get lubricant on the clutch-brake pads.
Lubricant on the clutch-brake pads can cause the clutch to
slip.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the lubricant reaches the
joints (pins and bushings). These components wear during
operation.
Lubricate the drive chain every 50 hours of operation.
Without the correct amount of lubrication, the drive chain can
wear excessively and fail.
For more information, see Figure 52 on page 46.
1. On the front of the machine, remove the bottom guard.
2. Spray or brush a good quality dry film lubricant onto the
drive chain and joints.
3. Install the bottom guard and fasteners.
4. Use a calibrated torque wrench to torque the fasteners to
33 lbf•ft (45 N•m).
