INSTALLATION
PARTIAL INSTALLATION OF MAIN DRIVE GEAR
The diameter of the main drive gears used in the
R8000 Series auxiliaries are larger than the main drive
gear bearing bore in the case. This necessitates a partial
assembly of the drive gear in the case prior to installation
of the mainshaft assembly.
NOTE
Assemble auxiliary drive gear bearing
(A-9) with outer race snap ring toward
gear teeth to prevent bearings from
operating with thrust load against snap
ring.
1. Position inner race of drive gear roller bearing
(A-9) under arbor press with flanged end of inner race
up. Support inner bearing race and press drive gear (A-1)
into bearing. Be sure flanged end of inner race bottoms
against front face of drive gear.
2. Position drive gear pocket bearing (A-10) in drive
gear (A-1) and press into place.
NOTE
Drive gear pocket bearing (A-10) is
made in two pieces. Be sure pocket
bearing is assembled with flanged end of
inner race up or so it will be toward
mainshaft.
3. Use soft hammer and tap outer race and roller
assembly of drive gear bearing (A-9) into front bearing
bore of case. Seat bearing tight against counterbore of
case.
4. Lower front end of drive gear (A-1) through top
opening of case and slide it forward into drive gear roller
bearing assembly (A-9).
5. Check to make sure inner race of drive gear
pocket bearing (A-10) is in place in drive gear
counterbore.
MAINSHAFT ASSEMBLY:
Prior to assembly check the following parts for slip
fits, to insure free and easy assembly of the mainshaft
inside the case.
(a)
Spline fit of direct and overdrive clutch
gear (B-5) with clutch collar (B-6) and fit of
internal splines on (B-5) with mainshaft
splines.
(b)
Slip or loose fit of overdrive gear sleeve
(B-10) on mainshaft ground diameter.
