Description
The machine is a four-wheel drive loader with articulated frame steering.
The engine is a six-cylinder, four-stroke, direct-injection, turbocharged, diesel engine with the designation TD63KBE (L90C),
TD73KDE (L120C).
The transmission is hydro-mechanical of the power shift type, where all gears are in constant mesh, with the designation
HT131 for L90C and HT205 for L120C.
Between the engine and the transmission there is a single stage hydraulic torque converter.
Front and rear axles have fully floating drive shafts with planetary type gears in the hubs. The front axle is provided with a
differential lock.
The service brakes are wet type disc brakes, built integrally with the planetary gear in each wheel hub. The parking brake on
L90C is of the disc brake type and it is positioned externally on the transmission output shaft. The parking brake on L120C is
of the wet type disc brake and positioned inside the transmission on the output shaft.
The steering system is hydrostatic with a variable axial piston pump and two hydraulic cylinders (steering cylinders).
For further description of function and components, see the respective sections.

Volvo standard tightening torques
The tightening torques in the following tables apply to bolts with a tensile strength as shown below. The tables are to be
considered as a general instruction for the tightening torque of nuts and bolts unless otherwise stated.
NOTE!
For flange head bolts type U6FS the values should be increased by 10 %. Nuts and bolts must be cleaned and lubricated with
oil.
