DUAL DIMENSIONS
This service manuai provides specifications in both the U.S. Customary and Metric (Si) system of measurements.
The first specification is given in the measuring system used during manufacture, whiie the second specification
(given in parenthesis) is the converted measurement. (For instance, a specification of **0.011 inch (0.279 mm)" would
indicate that the equipment was manufactured using the U.S. system of measurement and the metric equivalent
of 0.011 inch is 0.279 mm.

1. Refer to Figs. 1 and 2 for typical wheel hub and
bearing assemblies.
The tapered inner and outer roller bearings are not
interchangeable. Clean and inspect bearing cups (3
and 5) and cones (2 and 6) and renew as necessary.
NOTE: On adjustable axle hubs, if wear ring (12)
is excessiveiy worn, renew wear ring.
Install inner seal (1) on spindle and coat lips of seal
with grease. Pack bearings and fill hub cavity with
No. 2 lithium gi^ease. Install inner bearing cone (2).
Install hub assembly (4), outer bearing cone (6),
washer (7) and nut (9). Adyust wheel bearing preload
as follows: Tighten nut to a torque of 70 ft .-lbs. (95
N*m) while rotating the hub. Then, loosen nut and
retorque to 50 ft.-lbs. (68 N-m) on Models 385, 485
and 585 with standard axles or 25 ft.-lbs. (34 N*m)
on Models 385, 485 and 585 equipped with heavy
duty axles and all Model 685 and 885 tractors. Then,

2. R&R SPINDLES. Ib remove either spindle (9—
Figs. 3, 4 or 5), block rear wheels securely and apply
park brake. Raise front of tractor and install jack
stand under axle main member (13). Unbolt and re-
move front wheel and hub. Disconnect tie rod from
steering arm (2 or 6). Remove bolt (1) and nut (3) and
lift off steering arm. Remove Woodruff key (11) and
lower spindle (9) with thrust bearing (8) and felt ring
(10), downward out of axle extension. Remove thrust
bearing and felt ring from spindle.
With spindle removed, check spindle bushings (7)
in axle extension for excessive wear or other dam-
age and renew as required. Install new bushings (7)
so that lubrication grooves are toward the grease fit-
ting. Drive bushings in from top and bottom of ex-
tension until each bushing is 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) be-
low the surface.
When reassembling, install new felt ring (10) and
thrust bearing (8) as necessary.
NOTE: Thrust bearing (8) is marked TOP for cor-
rect instaiiation.

brake. Raise front of tractor and install jack stand un-
der axle main member (16). Unbolt and remove front
wheel and hub.
Remove lubrication fitting from steering arm (5 or

and gaskets (3). Remove nut and lockwasher from
lock pin (15). Drive lock pin forward out of axle main
member Using a hammer and punch, drive kingpin
(12) out of axle and spindle. Remove spindle, thrust
bearing (14) and shim (13) if so equipped.
Inspect kingpin bushings (4) and renew if neces-
sary. Bushings should be installed until inner ends
of bushings are 0.016-0.031 inch (0.4-0.8 mm) below
the inside surfaces of spindle bores. Lubrication
grooves in bushings must align with lubrication
fittings.
Install a new thrust bearing (14), with TOP mark
up, on bottom inside edge of spindle. Install spindle
over end of axle main member with thrust bearing
under axle. Use a jack to hold spindle and bearing
tight against bottom of axle. Using a feeler gage,
measure gap between upper edge of axle and the
spindle. If gap is more than 0.005 inch (0.127 mm),
install shims to reduce gap to less than 0.005 inch
(0.127 mm). Shims are available in thicknesses of
0.005 and 0.010 inch (0.127 and 0.254 mm).
Inspect kingpin (12) and renew as necessary. Install
kingpin with flat nearest to the top and in alignment
with hole for the lock pin (15). Install lock pin, lock-
washer and nut. Tighten nut securely. Install steer-
ing arm and tighten bolts (22) and nuts to a torque
of 160-180 ft.-lbs. (217-244 N-m). Install lubrication
fitting in steering arm.
Check oil seal (1—Fig. 2) and install new seal, if
needed, then install hub and adjust bearings as out-
lined in paragraph 1.

4. REMOVE AND REINSTALL. 1b remove axle
main member (13—Figs. 3, 4 and 5), first block rear
wheels securely and apply park brake. If so equipped,
remove front weights and weight bracket. Unbolt and
remove front cover. Support tractor with stands un-
der side rails or oil pan, and remove front wheels.
Disconnect tie rod ends from left and right steering
arms (2 and 6). Unbolt and remove axle extensions

connect steering cylinder hoses at cylinder. Cap and
plug all openings. Remove the cylinder anchor clevis
pin. Straighten corners of lock plate (21) and remove
cap screws (22), lock plate (21) and cylinder retain-
ing bar (20). Hold cylinder upward and slide cylin-
der clevis from anchor on axle. Remove steering cyl-
inder. Remove center steering arm (19) and tie rods.
Place a floor jack under axle main member (13). Re-
move cap screws (16) and thread a slide hammer
puller into front end of pivot pin (15). Remove pivot
pin, then lower axle main member and remove from
under tractor.
Inspect axle pivot bushings (14) and renew if neces-
sary, aligning lubrication holes with lubrication fit-
tings. Inspect cylinder pivot bushings (18) and steer-
ing arm pivot bushings (17) and renew as necessary.
Reinstall by reversing removal procedure, keeping
the following points in mind: Tighten cap screws (16)
and (22) to a torque of 80-90 ft.-lbs. (110-124 N-m).
Bend corners of lock plate (21) against flat of bolt
head (22). Tighten nuts on shoulder bolts (12) to a
torque of 246-272 ft.-lbs. (334-369 N-m). Tighten tie
rod end slotted nuts to a torque of 50 ft.-lbs. (68 N-m).
