FRONT SYSTEM
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
All models are available as 4-wheel
drive (All-Wheel Drive) units. Elwood
front drive axles are used on all models.
Elwood front drive axle assembly con-
sists of a one-piece center housing hav-
ing ball type pivot ends to which steer-
ing knuckles are attached. The. steering
knuckles and end housings are carried
on tapered roller bearings. The axle
center housing incorporates a straddle
mounted pinion and a four pinion dif-
ferential gear unit. Drive shafts extend
outward from the differential and attach
to planetary type end housings. The
shafts pivot on universal joints located
inside the steering knuckles. The
planetary gears are carried on needle
bearings.
Power for the front drive axle is taken
from a transfer case which is bolted to
left side of tractor rear frame and driven
by an idler gear on reverse idler shaft of
the range transmission. The transfer
case and front drive axle are connected
by a two-piece drive shaft fitted with
three conventional universal joints and a
slip joint which compensates for oscilla-
tion of front axle.
The transfer case contains the
hydraulically operated clutch which per-
mits the front drive axle to be engaged
or disengaged while tractor is in motion.
This clutch is designed to be torque
limiting to prevent damage to front
drive axle in overload conditions.
Pressurized hydraulic oil is furnished to
the clutch through an electric solenoid
controlled hydraulic valve.
Front and rear tire size combinations
are set to match front drive axle gear
ratio. Therefore, it is essential that cor-
rect front and rear tire sizes be used. If a
change in tire sizes is contemplated, con-
tact your local dealer for information
concerning proper combinations.
WHEEL AND PIVOT BEARINGS
Models So Equipped
5. WHEEL BEARINGS. Front
wheel planetary hubs should be drained
and refIlled with IH 135H EP gear lube
or equivalent SAE 85W-140 multi-
purpose gear lube after the first 50
hours and after every 500 hours of
operation thereafter. Removal of wheel
bearings requires removal of wheel hub
and planetary assembly.
To remove wheel bearings, refer to
Fig. 4 and proceed as follows: Support
tractor front axle assembly and remove
front wheels. Using a center punch, in-
dex planetary housing flange (43) to
wheel hub (31). Drain oil from planetary
housing, then remove retaining nuts
from planetary housing flange. Using
three jackscrews, split planetary
assembly from hub. Remove tapered
dowels (40), then remove planetary
assembly from hub. Remove snap ring
(45) from axle shaft end, then remove
sun gear (46), spacer (47) and ring gear
Paragraphs 5·6
(48). Attach a lifting eye and hoist to
wheel hub, remove lockm.zts from spin-
dle shaft flange (3), and remove hub (31)
from steering knuckle (8).
Loosen cap screw on bearing locknut
(25) and remove locknut from shaft.
NOTE: Locknut Is pOSitioned with
recess holes away from bearing. Recess
holes are for tightening purposes using a
spanner wrench or punch. See Fig. 6.
Support wheel hub across two wood
blocks and drive spindle shaft (3 - Fig. 4)
out of hub using a wood block. Lift inner
bearing (26) out of hub. Remove oil seal
(34) and outer bearing (33) from hub. Us-
ing a brass drift, drive out inner and
outer bearing cups. Inspect spindle shaft
oil seal (17) and bushing (4) and renew if
necessary.
NOTE: Use a blind hole puller to remove
spindle from shaft bushing.
Clean and inspect all parts and renew
as necessary. If renewal of spindle shaft
bushing (4) is necessary, bushing must
be driven in until it bottoms in the
counterbore.
Reassemble and adjust spindle and
wheel bearings as follows: Install outer
wheel hub bearing (33) and oil seal (34).
Install spindle shaft (3), oil deflector (1)
and spacer (2). See Fig. 7. Install inner
wheel hub bearing (26-Fig. 4) and
tighten bearing nut (25) to preload bear-
ings to a rolling torque of 8 to 16 pounds
(3.6 to 7.3 kg), using a spring scale as
shown in Fig. 8.
Mount spindle and hub assembly on
axle housing flange and seal with gasket
material or silicone sealant such as Dow
Corning RTV-732 or equivalent. Install
nuts and tighten to a torque of 65-70
ft.-Ibs. (90-95 N ·m). Place ring gear,
spacer and sun gear in hub housing and
install snap ring. Install planetary
assembly into hub and use new gasket
(28-Fig. 4). Install tapered dowels on
studs, then install nuts and tighten to a
torque of 65-70 ft.-Ibs (90-95 N ·m). Turn
hub until arrow is pointing downward,
then fUl housing with lubricant until it
runs out of the fIller hole. Install fIller
hole plug.
6. PIVOT BEARINGS. To remove
the pivot bearings, the planetary wheel
hub asse~ly must be removed. Pull ax-
le out of axle housing and remove with
hub assembly.
Remove cap screwi on steering
knuckle and separate retainers, seals
and gaskets of steering knuckle as
shown in Fig. 9. Disconnect tie rod from
steering knuckle and on right side only,
disconnect steering cylinder from steer-
ing knuckle. Identify and remove upper
pivot bearing cap and shims and lower
pivot bearing cap and shims. Remove

wear and renew as necessary. Lubricate
pivot bearings and reinstall steering
knuckle. Install upper and lower bearing
caps usipg original shim packs. Tighten
upper and lower bearing cap retaining
nuts to a torque of 60-70 ft.-lbs. (81-95
N· m). Check bearing preload by placing
torque wrench on upper bearing cap nut
and swinging steering knuckle from side

7. R&R AXLE ASSEMBLY. To
remove the "All-Wheel Drive" front axle
assembly, disconnect hydraulic lines to
steering cylinder and plug all hydraulic
openings. Remove "U" bolts from drive
shaft front universal joint, separate joint
and tie front end of drive shaft up out of
the way. Using two floor jacks, place one
under differential housing and the other
under steering cylinder mounting brac-
ket. Support front of tractor with
suitable jackstands and remove front
wheels. Remove lock pins, then drive out

drive axle assembly can be accomplished
in three separate operations; planetary
assembly, drive axle universal joint and
differential. The planetary assembly and
drive axle operations can be accom-
plished without removal of complete ax-
le assembly from tractor. The differen-
tial overhaul will be easier if front drive
axle is removed from tractor.
