Differential Shafts

The following procedures assume the rear axle assem-
bly has been removed from the machine (see Rear Axle
Assembly Removal in this section).
Differential Shaft Removal
IMPORTANT: Do not interchange right and left dif-
ferential shaft assemblies.
1. Remove the mounting screws, nuts and lock wash-
ers. Remove the bevel gear case/axle case assembly
and O-ring from the axle support (Fig. 27).
2. Mark and pull the differential shaft assembly from the
axle support.
3. Remove the retaining ring and bevel gear (Fig 28).
4. Drive the differential shaft out of the bearings. Re-
move the bearings and bearing shims.
5. Inspect all gears, shafts, bearings and cases for
damage and wear. Replace components as necessary.
Differential Shaft Installation
1. Press bearings onto differential shaft. Place correct
combination of bearing shims in axle support and drive
differential shaft and bearing assembly into axle sup-
port.
2. Install bevel gear and retaining ring.
3. Coat new O-ring with grease. Align differential shaft
splines with differential gear assembly and slide differ-
ential shaft assembly onto axle support.
