SERIES 1755-1855-1955 Paragraphs 13-16
FRONT SYSTEiVI
(Front-Wheel Drive Axie)
Series 1755,1855 and 1955 tractors are
avaifabie with a front drive axie which is
driven from the transmission bevel pinion
shaft via a transfer case and a drive shaft
fitted with two universal joints. A shifting
mechanism in the transfer case allows
connecting or disconnecting power to the
front drive axie.
Ail four-wheel drive tractors are
equipped with power steering. Aii models
are equipped with a Saginaw Hydramotor
steering unit. Refer to POWER STEERiNG
section for information on the Saginaw
Hydramotor and the two steering cyiin-
ders.
FRONT AXLE AND CARRIER
All Models So Equipped
13. R&R AXLE ASSEMBLY. The
complete front axle assembly can be
removed from tractor as follows: Re-
move drive shaft shield and shield
front support. Disconnect drive shaft
from companion flange of differential
pinion shaft. Disconnect both power
steering cylinders from axle and
spindle supports and lay cylinders on
top of axle carrier. Remove bolts re-
taining axle to axle carrier, then raise
tractor and roll the complete axle and
wheels unit forward and away from
tractor.
Note: A rolling floor jack can be
placed under differential pinion shaft
to keep axle from rotating as tractor is
lifted from axle.
If necessary, wheels and tie-rod can
now be removed and procedure for
doing so is obvious.
Reinstall axle by reversing the re-
moval procedure and be sure piston
rod ends of steering cylinders are at-
tached to steering spindle supports.
Tighten the cylinder attaching bolt
lock nuts until they just contact the
mounting flanges. Further tightening
may distort mounting flanges and
cause cylinder to bind.
14. R&R AXLE CARRIER. To
remove axle carrier, first remove the
front axle as outlined in paragraph 13,
then, secure steering cylinders to
tractor frame. Place a rollingfloorjack
under axle carrier and take weight of
carrier. Remove pivot pin retaining
cap screws, slide pivot pins from pivot
supports and lower the axle carrier
from tractor. If necessary, pivot sup-
ports can be removed from tractor
frame.
Bushings in axle carrier can now be
renewed. Bushings are pre-sized and
should not require reaming if carefully
installed.
15. OVERHAUL FRONT AXLE.
Overhaul of the front drive axle as-
sembly will be discussed as four opera-
tions; the planet spider assembly, the
hub assembly, the spindle support as-
sembly and the differential and carrier
assembly. All operations except the
differential and carrier overhaul can
be accomplished without removing the
front drive axle from tractor. Both
outer ends of axle are identical, hence,
only one outer end will be discussed.
16. PLANET SPIDER. To overhaul
the planet spider assembly, support
outer end of axle and remove the tire
and rim. Remove relief valve from
center of planet spider, remove plug
from wheel hub and drain oil from
planet spider. Remove capscrews that
retain planet spider to wheel hub and
the two puller hole cap screws. Use
two of the removed retaining cap
screws in the puller holes to remove
planet spider assembly from wheel
hub.
With unit removed, remove the
three pinion shaft lock pins by driving

Remove cotter pin and nut (1) from
pinion shaft (11), then using a puller,
remove the companion flange (2) and
dust shield. Remove pinion shaft
bearing retainer (5) and press pinion
shaft and bearing from carrier. Use a
split bearing puller to support pinion
bearing cup (8) on edge nearest pinion
shaft gear and press pinion shaft from
rear bearing and bearing cup. Remove
spacer (9) and any shims which may
be present from pinion shaft. Remove
front bearing and inner (pilot) bearing
(12) in a similar manner.
Clean and inspect all parts. Pay par-
ticular attention to bearings, bearing
cups and thrust washers. If any of the
differential side gears or pinions are
damaged or excessively worn, renew
all gears and thrust washers. Pinion
shaft and bevel ring gear are available
in a matched set only.
24, The differential and carrier unit
is assembled as follows: Place inner
(pilot) bearing on inner end of pinion
shaft and stake in four places. Use a
piece of pipe the size of inner pinion
shaft bearing race to press forward
bearing cone (10) onto shaft with taper
facing threaded end of pinion shaft.
Place bearing spacer and any shims
which were present during disas-
sembly over pinion shaft, then position
the bearing cup over forward bearing.
Press the rear pinion shaft bearing (7)
on shaft with taper away from
threaded end of pinion shaft. Check
and, if necessary, renew the dust
shield (3) on companion flange. Posi-
tion companion flange so it will not
obstruct cotter pin hole in end of
pinion shaft, slide bearing retainer oil
seal on its land on companion flange,
then press companion flange on pinion
shaft. Install retaining nut, clamp
companion flange in a vise and tighten
nut to a torque of 300 ft.-lbs.
Note: Pressure of oil seal will gener-
ally hold bearing retainer away from
bearing. If it does not do so, tie re-
tainer to companion flange.
25, With pinion shaft assembled as
outlined above, clamp the bearing cup
in a soft jawed vise just tight enough
to prevent rotation, then using an
inch-pound torque wrench on com-
panion flange retaining nut, check
torque required to rotate pinion shaft.
Pinion shaft bearing adjustment is
correct if 13 to 23 inch-pounds is re-
quired to rotate shaft. If rolling torque
is not as specified, disassemble the
pinion shaft assembly and vary thick-
ness of spacer and/or shims as re-
quired to obtain proper rolling torque,
A spacer and shim kit is available
under Oliver part number 155 342-A.
With pinion shaft assembled and
correct rolling torque (bearing adjust-
ment) obtained, press pinion shaft as-
sembly into carrier, install bearing
retainer and tighten capscrews to a
torque of 25 ft,-lbs. Install cotter pin to
lock the nut in place,
26, Reassemble differential case
assembly as follows: Place side gears,
pinions and thrust washers in differ-
ential case and install pinion pin
(shaft). Secure pinion pin with lock pin
and, if lock pin is straight type, stake
pin in position. It is not necessary to
stake the spring type lock pin. If bevel
ring gear was removed, reinstall with
bolt heads on ring gear side of as-
sembly and tighten the nuts to a
torque of 78-86 ft,-lbs. Press bearings
on differential case with tapers facing
away from case. Place bearing cups
over differential bearings and place
differential assembly in carrier. Posi-
tion bearing adjusting nuts in carrier
and install the carrier bearing caps.
Tighten the bearing cap screws until
caps are snug but be sure threads of
caps and adjusting nuts are in reg-
ister. Maintain some clearance be-
tween gear teeth and tighten ad-
justing nuts until bearing cups are
seated and all end play of differential
is eliminated. Mount a dial indicator
and shift differential assembly as re-
quired to obtain a backlash of 0,008-
0,011 between bevel pinion shaft and
bevel ring gear. Differential is shifted
by loosening one adjusting nut and
tightening the opposite nut an equal
amount. Note: Mesh position of the
bevel pinion shaft is not adjustable.
With gear backlash adjusted,
tighten the bearing cap retaining cap-
screws to a torque of 65 ft,-lbs, and
secure with lock wire. Install ad-
justing nut lock pins and cotter pins.
Note: If lock pins will not enter slots
of adjusting nuts after backlash ad-
justment has been made, tighten
rather than loosen the adjusting nut,
or nuts. Recheck gear backlash.

spect springs (3) for fractures, or other
damage, and renew springs which do
not have a free height of 2V4-2^
inches. Center cam in central driver
(7) must be free to rotate within the
limits of keys in central driver. Check
the weld between driven clutch (5) and
cam ring on clutch by tapping lightly
on cams of cam ring. If cam ring ro-
tates in driven clutch, weld is defec-
tive (failed). Inspect teeth on central
driver and driven clutches. Small de-
fects can be dressed with a stone. If
central driver or driven clutch is re-
newed, also renew the part it mates
with. A smooth wear pattern up to 50
percent of face width is acceptable for
the cams on center cam and driven

Position companion flange so it will
not obstruct cotter pin hole in end of
pinion shaft, slide bearing retainer oil
seal on its land on companion flange,
then press companion flange on pinion
shaft. Install retaining nut, clamp
companion flange in a vise and tighten
nut to a torque of 300 ft.-lbs.
NOTE: Pressure of oil seal will gen-
erally hold bearing retainer away
from bearing. If it does not, tie re-
tainer to companion flange.
30. With pinion shaft assembled as
outlined above, clamp the bearing cup
in a soft jawed vise only tight enough
to prevent rotation, then using an
inch-pound torque wrench attached to
companion flange retaining nut, check
the rolling torque (bearing preload) of
the pinion shaft. This rolling torque
should be 13-23 in.-lbs.
If rolling torque is not as specified,
it will be necessary to disassemble the
shaft assembly and vary the spacer
and/or shims as required. A spacer and
shim kit is available under Oliver part
number 155 342-A.
With pinion shaft assembled and the
rolling torque of shaft determined,
press pinion shaft assembly into car-
rier, install bearing retainer and
tighten cap screws to a torque of 25 ft.-
lbs. Install cotter pin to lock nut (1) in
