Precautions and Safety Recommendations

Certain precautions and safety recommendations are
described in this section. It is important for operators
to comply with these instructions in order to prevent
accidents. Moreover, always bear in mind the safety
measures described in the Operation and Maintenan-
ce Manual and in chapter 1 of this manual.
Carefully comply with the Warnings indicated by me-
ans of this symbol:

WARNING :if the bolts that fix the safety

frame or cab are loosened or if the actual
safety frame or cab are removed, make sure
that the parts are re-installed correctly so
that adequate protection is provided for the
operator.

WARNING : make sure that all persons

keep a due distance away from the danger
zone. Avoid vibrations when bolts are loo-
sened.

WARNING : lift and handle all heavy parts

with lifting means of adequate carrying ca-
pacity. Make sure that the assemblies or
parts are supported by appropriate harness
and hooks. Make sure that there are no by-
standers near the load as it is lifted.

WARNING : avoid twisting the chains or

metal ropes used for lifting purposes.
Always wear safety gloves when handling
cables or chains.

WARNING :use the right tools to align ho-

les. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR
HANDS.

WARNING : handle all parts with the grea-

test care. Do not insert your hands or fin-
gers between one part and another.

WARNING :if you remove the bolts from

parts that are liable to drop, always leave
two opposed bolts in place for safety rea-
sons. Only remove these bolts after you
have hooked the assembly to a lifting me-
ans or after you have positioned bearing
blocks underneath the actual part itself.

General description
1-2 Description of operation
This axle has a very sturdy structure that is able to
support and bear the front part of the tractor through
a hingeing system that connects it to the radiator core
support where ballast of a considerable weight and
other components such as forks, loaders, the front
PTO complete with power lift, etc., are applied.
The central part houses the bevel gear pair-differen-
tial assembly which features mechanical engagement
(Y Fig.3-5) and is electrohydraulically controlled by
means of a button. Drive transmitted by the 4WD hou-
sing on the rear differential housing, reaches the front
driving wheels by means of the axle shafts and epi-
cyclic final drives with a slight turning advance of 1 to
4% ~ in relation to the rear wheel turns.
The discs of the oil-cooled brakes (X Fig.3-5) are to
be found in the inner part, at the sides of the differen-
tial and keyed to the axle shafts, along with the relati-
ve piston which is hydraulically controlled through the
pressure exercised on the latched brake pedals, at
the same time as the rear brakes.
Maximum steering through ~ 55° is achieved thanks
to a double-acting balanced hydraulic cylinder sup-
plied with oil by the steering valve system and opera-
ted by means of the steering wheel.

DRIVE TRANSMISSION
342
Drive reaches the transmitter shaft (71 Fig.5-5) in the
4WD housing and then proceeds to the front bevel
pinion (760) which is coupled to the ring gear (761
Fig.4-5).
Passing through the differential housing (762), drive
reaches the left (763) and right (764) axle shaft.
Drive enters the side final drives then, through the
crown wheel (737), the planetary gear (733) and the
ring gear (732), it reaches the hub (730) on which the
wheel is mounted (Fig.4-5).

Description of operation
When the lever (A) on the left-hand side of the dri-
ver's seat moves forwards, it shifts the sleeve (66),
thus allowing drive from the bevel pinion (342) to rea-
ch the gear (68) through gear (70) and, through the
sleeve (66), to transmit drive to the shaft (71), which
is connected to the front axle.

General description
1-4 Front brakes
The oil-cooled front brakes mounted on 4WD Power-
farm tractors guarantee IBS integral braking on the
four wheels with monitoring valve. This latter ensures
that the sole rear wheel brakes when the braking ac-
tion is applied with one single pedal (when the brakes
are used unlatched during field work or tight manoeu-
vres) and integral braking on all four wheels when the
pedals are latched together (for transport or road cir-
culation).

bled from the axle by removing the bearing pins, the
final drives complete with fork and the axle shafts.

WARNING :if you remove the bolts from

parts that are liable to drop, always leave
two opposed bolts in place for safety rea-
sons. Only remove these bolts after you
have hooked the assembly to a lifting me-
ans or after you have positioned bearing
blocks underneath the actual part itself.

spection and adjustment
Comply with the disassembly instructions in reverse
order in order to remount the axle components. Befo-
re re-assembling, inspect the parts subject to wear,
replace the seals and make the required adjustmen-
ts.

HOW TO INSPECT THE COMPONENTS OF THE

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

- check the bearings (771 Fig.25-5) that support the

pinion;
771
- check the bearings (772 Fig 25-5) of the differen-
tial housing;

- check the teeth of the planetary gears and crown

wheels for wear.
772

Fig.25-5

DIFFERENTIAL ASS'Y ADJUSTMENTS

The "differential assembly" must be subjected to the

following adjustments:

1 - Bevel gear positioning on the ring gear

2 - Preloading of the bearings that support the

bevel pinion

3 - Play adjustment between the teeth of the ring

gear pinion and preload of the differential be-
arings

5 - 23
 4WD FRONT AXLE

Guide lines for disassembly, re-assembly and adjustment

HOW TO POSITION THE BEVEL PINION ON THE
RING GEAR

To calculate the value of the shim (B) that allows the

pinion to be centered on the ring gear, first calculate
the distance (dimension R1 Fig.27-5) between the cen-
ter of the ring gear and the bearing surface of the taper
bearing (D) . To make it easier to measure the dimen-
sion (R1), it is advisable to use special tool 05 DT MYT
which consists of: two dummy bearings and a plug
(Fig.26-5).
Measure (dimension R1 Fig.27-5) after having moun-
ted the tool.
Determine a pack of shims (B) by means of the fol-
lowing formula:
Sh (B) = R1 - (R ± S)
where:

R = nominal dimension 118 mm

R1 = dimension measured with tool 51 DT MYT

S = real execution tolerance of dimension "R"

(value stamped on the pinion) (Ref.28-5)
to add to (+) or remove (-) from 188 mm.
Example:
R1 = 120.50 mm 05 DT MYT
S = +0.15
Sh(B) = 120.5 - (118+0.15)=2.35 mm

2 - HOW TO PRELOAD THE BEARINGS THAT
SUPPORT THE BEVEL PINION

Mount the pinion on the housing complete with bea-

rings (E) and (D), retention ring (F) and fixing nut (G).
Tighten the ring nut (G) until a moment of rotation
between 20-25 Nm is obtained.

3 - HOW TO OBTAIN THE PLAY BETWEEN THE
PINION RING GEAR TEETH AND THE PRE-
LOAD FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS
Turn the ring nut (H) with the aid of tool 03 DT MYT in
order to obtain the required play between the pinion-
ring gear teeth (0.20-0.30 mm) measured in 4 points
at 90° to each other.
Use the ring nut (I) to take up the float between the
cones and cups of the bearings (L).
Turn the ring nut again until a total rotation movement
of 32 to 35 Nm measured on the bevel pinion is obtai-
ned, inclusive of the resistance from the retention ring.
Make 1+1 opposed caulks to lock the ring nuts.
