FRONT AXLE (TWO WHEEL DRIVE)
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
All Models Except 88SN
1. A typical front wheel spindle,
wheel hub and bearing assembly is
shown in Fig. 1 or 4.
The tapered inner and outer roller
bearings are the same size on some
models. however if bearings are to be
reused they should be reinstalled with
mating bearing cones and cups togeth-
er.
Note that lip of oil seal is installed
away from inner bearing. It is recom-
mended that bearings be lubricated
with a pressure gun until grease is
forced out past seal lip after each 60
hours of operation.
When adjusting wheel bearings.
tighten nut to provide 0.003 inch end
play to 0.002 inch preload and install
cotter pin.
Model8S5N
2. The Model 885N front wheel
spindle. wheel hub and bearing assem-
bly shown in Fig. 2 is similar to other
models except that bearing adjustment
is controlled by shims (5). Vary shims
as required to provide 0.003 inch end
play to 0.002 inch preload and secore
heads of cap screws with tabs of leek
plate (3).
Shims (5) are available in thicknesses
of 0.005, 0.010 and 0.030 inch.
SPINDLES
All Models
3. R&R SPINDLES. To remove
spindle. support front of tractor and
remove wheel. Remove cap screw and
washer which retains steering arm and
remove steering arm from spindle.
NOTE: If steering arm Is tight on
spindle, loosen cap screw about two or
three turns and rap head of cap screw
sharply to loosen steering arm from
spindle. Withdraw spindle and remove
upper "0" ring and thrust washer or
thrust bearing and lower "0" ring. Reinm
stall by reversing removal procedure
and tighten steering arm retaining cap
screw to 120 ft.-Ibs. torque.
4. SPINDLE BUSIIINGS. With spin-
dle removed, spindle bushings can be
removed from axle extension using a
suitable drift punch. New bushings are
presized and should not require ream-
ing if carefully installed. Outer ends of
bushings should be flush with axle

56-80 inch width axle), 12 series and 14
series tractors.
TIE-RODS AND TOE-IN
All Models
5. Toe-in of front wheels should be
l/16-l/S-inch and can be adjusted by

AXLE MAIN MEMBER AND
PIVOT PIN
All Models
6. On early 995 (prior ser. no.
934315) \.ractors it is necessary to split
tractor between front support and main
frame using the following procedure:
Remove hood and drain cooling system.
Disconnect radiator hoses. battery
cable and air cleaner hose at rear side
of radiator. Disconnect drag link
(manual steering) or steering ram
(power steering) from steering arm.
Support traetor under main frame and
attach a hoist to Iront unit. Unbolt
Iront support Irom main frame and roll
assembly away from tractor.
Loosen the pivot pin retaining cap
screw about five turns, rap on head of
cap screw to dislodge threaded insert,
then remove cap screw and threaded
insert. Attach a slide hammer, pull
pivot pin rearward from front support
and front axle. then raise front support
until it clears axle assembly. Remove
the thrust washers and sealing "0"
rings.
The two rear bushings (B-Fig. 5) may
be removed with suitable driver. To
remove the two front bushings from
blind hole. use a cape chisel and pliers.
Drive new forward front bushing into
blind hole until it bottoms or is forward
of lubrication hole. then drive second
front bushing in flush with support
casting. Drive rear bushings into sup·
port from each side until bushings are
flush with support casting. Bushings
are pre·sized and should not require
reaming if carefully installed. Be sure
pivot pin is a free fit in bushings before
reinstalling front axle to front support.
The axle front to rear float in front
support should be 0.002-0.014 inch.
Renew pivot thrust washers if front to
rear float is excessive.
When rejoining front support to main
frame, tighten bolts to 45 ft.-lbs.

13. REMOVE AND REINSTALL. To
remOVe final drive, jack up affected
side of axle, remove wheel and tire and
drain housing. Disconnect tie·rod from
carrier and if left band unit is involved.
also disconnect the power' steering ram
from carrier. Remove cover plate
(9-Fig. 6). Remove cap screw and lock
(21.Fig. 7) and adjusting nut (20), then
remove king pin (22) using tapped hole
in bottom of king pin. Withdraw final
drive, unit from axle housing and take
care that axle shaft does not damage
bearing (15·Fig. 8) located in axle
housing.
NOTE: If necessary. s- tool for
removal at king pin can I)e fabricated
using the dimensions shown in, Fig. 9.
The values shown are in millimeters.
Also note when using removar tool,
removal of king pin will be a three-step
operation.
Bearing (19-Fig. 7), lower washer
(18), "0" ring (17) and seal (16) can
now be removed.
DO NOT remove upper beariDg (11)
unless it is to be renewed or other new
!inal drive parts are being insWIed.
If necessary, axle hearing (15·Fig. 8)
can be pulled from axle housing after
removing oil seal (17) and snap ring
(16).
14. The final drive assembly is
installed by reversing removal proce·
dure. however if a new axle housing.
final drive housing (carrier), king pin
upper bearing or spacer is installed,
the mounting dimensions of axle hOlls·
ing and final drive honsing must be
ehecked and reset, if necessary. to
insure that axle halves are in align·
ment.
During machining of the final drive
housing (carrier) and axle housing, plus
or minus deviations can occQr and are
stamped on final drive carrier and axle
housing as shown in Fig. 10. The
reference dimension for final drive
housing (carrier) is 107.00mm and
reference dimension for axle housing is
72.90 mm. Plus deviations are added to
reference dimensions and minus devia-
tions are subtracted from reference
dimensions. If there is no deviation
during machining the deviation stamp·
ing will be "0" (zero). Also needed to
calculate the required thickness of
spacer is the overall thickness of king
pin upper bearing assembly. Standard
thickness of bearing is 25.60 mm but it
should he measured as deviations can
occur.
Refer to the following paragraph for
an example to calculate spacer thick-
ness.

0.25 mm preload and preload is con·
trolled by spacer (S-Fig. 8). Spacer is
available in thicknesses from 1.60 mm
through 2.70 mm in increments of 0.05
