It also contains special service information for 1978-82 model year Sundstrand units. SERVICE AND REPAIR PARTS • Hydrogear Conversions - Many hydrogear units (1966 to mid-1973) have been converted to the serviceable piston-piston transmission. Refer to the photos in this manual to identify the transmission in a particular tractor. • Complete Transmissions - Complete replacement transmission assemblies are no longer available. Independent outside rebuilding service many be available. Refer to the latest issue of Service Bulletin 437 for information. • Repair Parts - Use this manual to determine replacement part numbers for 1965 to mid-1973 hydrogear units (Pages 54-56) and mid-1973 to 1977 piston-piston units (Pages 60-62). Be sure to check parts price list to determine if all parts needed are still available before ordering parts. Piston-piston part numbers for 1978-82 model year tractors are contained in the particular tractor parts manual. • D-Series Adjustments - Transmission control linkage adjustments described in this manual for 1975 models are appropriate for 1976- 77 models. 1978-82 linkage adjustments are covered in the 1978-79 B,C,D- Series Service Manual, PIN 810063R1. • D-Series Driven Coupling Preload and Pump Alignment - Refer to Service Bulletins 217 and 305 for special service information . CONSTRUCTION CHANGES, 1978 AND LATER • Sundstrand units on 1978 and later tractors differ from earlier units in that the motor shaft extends through the cover plate, for the mounting of a parking brake drum. Motor repair operations described in this manual still apply, except that the motor cover plate oil seal should be replaced during the repair process. Supplement 1

• Part-way through the 1979 model year, the charge pressure relief valve on hydraulic lift models was changed from ~all-type to cone-type. Both constructions are illustrated below, with part numbers given for the cone-type valve system. FWD.

IMPORTANT: All 1972 and pritt, and some 1973 models use automatic transmission fluid (Dexron II).' Determine type of oil in these units - Do Not Mix engine oil and autqmatic transmission fluid. Units may have been changed to engine oil during prior overhauls. To convert to engine oil, the entire system - transmission, transaxle, hoses, hydraulic lift valve - must be totally deaned bf transmission fluid. Pressure Checks - Keep in mind an uunsealedll condition anywhere in the transmission will cause a low-or-no charge pressure condition. Troubleshooting charts and the lack of charge pressure seem to point to the pump section as the source of the problem. Experience shows most ·,oss of pressure" conditions to be du~ to: sticking-acceleration or forward/reverse check valves, charge press~re relief valves, or a problem in the motor section. Motor section problems are most commonly snap ring, special retaining ring, br spiraloc retaining ring failure, causing the motor cylinder block to Ipse its spring preload against the valve plate. Contamination - Where dirt or failed parts have circulated through the system, it is essential the entire system be Qisassembled and flushed dean - both transmission sections, the transaxle, hydraulic valve, and hoses or hydraulic manifold. Residual contamination will quickly destroy the repaired unit. Supplement 2 (J) C "0 "0 ,... m ;: m ~ (J) C "0 "0 Iii ;: m ~ (J) C "0 "0 ,... m ;: m ~

• Valve Plates - Note the difference betWeen the pump and motor valve plates (Fig. 44). Ensure the correct valve plate is ordered when replacing, as the motor plate will fit in place of the pump plate, but will not function properly. Scratches in the brass surface of the plate that can be felt with a fingernail indicate an unserviceable valve plate. The ..... cylinder block may also be unserviceable in this case. Z W ~ • Charge and Implement Valves - Note the location of these valves, W -I depending on whether the tractor has manual or hydraulic lift (Fig. 61). a.. a.. Using the appropriate valve parts in the correct hole permits setting up :::> any piston-piston unit for either type of lift system. C/) • Ch~rge Pump - Refer to the installation of the charge pump (Fig. 49). With the pump end cap positioned as shown, note that the dowel pin is down (nearest the sealing surface of the pump end cap). The charge - pump can be put on upside-down, and will fail to function. Also note that the charge pump needle bearing, Fig. 54, must protrude above the housing surface, to hold the valve plate in place. Use care to prevent accidentally pressing the dowel pin into the housing. Be sure ..... the valve plate notch is over the dowelJllil on assembly, or the valve Z W plate will be ruined. !\. ~ I W • Control Shaft/Stub Shaft - On 1978 and later transmissions, the longer -- -I a.. control shaft is used on both sides of the pump housing (Fig. 57). a.. Using a later transmission on an earlier tractor may require cutting a :::> C/) clearance hole in the tractor's sheet metal for the longer shaft. • Acceleration Valves - Original equipment valves are different (Fig. 68) and must not be exchanged during repair. However, the forward valve is used as the service replacement part for both locations. If an acceleration valve seems to be malfunctioning, ensure the metering plug hole is open (Fig. 70). If clogged, it will prevent the valve from closing. The hole is extremely smalj, and it may take a magnifying glass ..... to see it. Z W • Motor Section - Note that the webbed section of motor housing must ~ W be "up" (Fig. 74), or motor will run opposite the intended direction. ...J a.. a.. Special Assembly Note :::> C/) Ensure you use new retaining parts in the motor section (Items 23,70,73,74, Pages 61-62), to ensure the integrity of the cylinder block ~I attachment to the motor shaft. On assembly, make absolute~ ~ur~ the cylinder block is locked securely on the motor shaft. Be sure the notch in the valve plate is over the dowel pin in the motor end cap.

FOREWORD This service and repair manual has been compiled to provide authorized Wheel Horse service personnel with the proper procedures and techniques for servicing Wheel Horse automatic transmissions. The following index lists all areas covered. It is advisable to read all of the introductory sections first to gain a proper understanding of the Wheel Horse automatic transmission. The automatic transmission is a sophisticated piece of machinery. Maintain strict cleanliness control during all stages of service and repair. Even a small amount of dirt or other contamination can severely damage the system. Although this manual deals primarily with the Sundstrand piston- piston type hydrostatic transmission, service and repair procedures for the older hydrogear type transmission have beeo included in a separate section. -1-
