DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The front wheel drive is engaged by means of the
switch located on the EMU panel

3
When front wheel drive is selected the FWD solenoid
valve (1) in the low pressure distributor valve block on
top of the rear axle is in the discharge position
(de-energised).
The oil within the control piston (4) Figure 5 is open
to sump through the FWD solenoid valve.

Lubrication oil Exhaust oil

FWD ELECTRO–HYDRAULIC CLUTCH (FWD ENGAGED)

The four wheel drive transfer system comprises of an
electro hydraulic transfer clutch located in the bottom
of the rear axle transmission housing and driven by
a gear (1) mounted on the rear axle pinion (2).
The clutch output shaft transfers drive to the front
axle by means of a shaft (6) running through the
transmission and an external drive shaft connected
to the front axle.
The Belleville spring (3), compresses the multi–pack
clutch (5) and drive from the rear axle pinion is
transferred through the clutch to the front axle via the
driveshaft.

Lubrication oil Pressure oil

FWD ELECTRO–HYDRAULIC CLUTCH (FWD DISENGAGED)

When the switch located on the EMU panel is
pressed, the solenoid valve opens and lets the oil
flow from the pump to the face of the control piston
(4).
The pressure oil applied to the face of the piston
moves the piston body against the action of the
Belleville spring (3) and releases the spring pressure
applied to the clutch plates (5).
Under these conditions, the clutch plates (4) are not
compressed and the clutch shaft (6) can rotate freely
preventing the transfer of drive to the front axle.

Removal – Installation (Op. 23 101)

Models with Front Suspension

WARNING
Handle all components with the greatest care.
Do no insert hands or fingers between the parts.
Wear suitable protection clothing, including goggles,
gloves and footwear.

Proceed as follows:
1. Detach the negative cable (1) from the battery
and insulate.

7
2. Place a trolley jack under the cast arm leading to
the rear swivel block of the front suspension.
3. Remove the four bolts securing the swivel block
to the transmission casing, and carefully lower
the swivel block, a pry bar may be required to
release the dowels.

8
4. Unscrew the coupling securing the universal joint
assembly to the shaft and remove the universal
joint assembly.
NOTE: In order to remove the complete driveshaft or
front universal joint it is necessary to remove the front
axle. Refer to Section 25.

WARNING
Handle all components with the greatest care.
Do no insert hands or fingers between the parts.
Wear suitable protection clothing, including goggles,
gloves and footwear.

Proceed as follows:
1. Detach the negative cable (1) from the battery
and insulate.
2. Remove the cab from the tractor as described in
Section 90.
3. Disconnect or remove wiring harnesses and
hydraulic connections as necessary to enable
separation of transmission from rear axle. Refer
to relevant hydraulic and electrical sections of
manual for further details.

10
4. Remove plug (1) and drain oil from the rear axle
and transmission housing into a suitable
container.

11
5. Remove rear axle bottom cover.

6. Support transmission on tractor splitting kit
297471 positioned beneath rear axle centre
housing and close to the transmission/rear axle
buckle up flange.
NOTE: Ensure that the tractor splitting kit support
does not obstruct subsequent removal of hydraulic
clutch from beneath the rear axle after the axle has
been separated from the transmission.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove tractor wheels.
Wheels in illustration have been removed for clarity.
604.55.111.00 – 06 – 2002

7. Support the rear of the tractor on axle stand to
prevent any tipping movement of the rear axle
when the transmission and axle are seperated.
WARNING
Always ensure Transmission and rear axle sections
of the tractor are fully supported to prevent any
movement when the transmission is removed.
8. Remove the transmission rear axle buckle up
bolts and seperate transmission from rear axle.

10. Remove clutch driveshaft retaining ring (1) and
shims (2).

12. Retrieve bearing cap (1) and using an assistant,
support the clutch housing, Figure 18.
Completely remove clutch driveshaft (2) taking
care to ensure that the clutch housing does not
drop to the ground.

Re–assembly
1. Reassemble piston assembly and clutch plates
(Items 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 16, 17 Figure 19) Do not
install Belleville spring (item 9) at this stage.
2. Equally space three feeler gages set to 1.2mm
between piston housing and spacer.
3. Press piston housing against clutch plates and
screw down nut until it touches the piston
housing

21
4. Using a vernier measure the position of the face
of the nut to the top of the assembly and scribe
an alignment mark on nut and housing.

22
5. Reassemble clutch complete with Belleville
spring and screw down the nut to the same
dimension measured in step 4. Realign the
marks on the nut and housing. The marks made
in step 4. ensure that the nut is positioned in
exactly the same place.
NOTE: To assist in tightening the nut the splined
shaft can be held in a vice with soft jaws.

7. Using dial indicator gauge and suitable M8 x 1.25
threaded adaptor screwed into end of shaft, push
and pull the shaft to measure the end float.
