Install Rear Axle (Fig. 9)
1. If removed, install steering cylinder to axle assembly
(see Steering Cylinder in Chapter 5 − Hydraulic Sys-
tem).
2. If removed, install the tie rod to rear axle (Fig. 12).
Tighten ball joint castle nuts and install new cotter pins.

axle assembly to rear frame mount.
4. Install rear axle pivot pin to secure axle to frame.
Make sure to install thrust washer (item 42) between
axle pivot and frame on both ends of the pivot. With
thrust washers installed, there should be from 0.002 to
0.020 inch (0.05 to 0.51 mm) clearance between rear
frame mount and axle mounting boss. Add additional
thrust washers if needed to adjust clearance.
5. Install thrust washer (item 40) and lock nut (item 39)
onto axle pivot pin. Lock nut should be tightened enough
to allow pivot pin to rotate (70 ft−lb (94 N−m) maxi-
mum).
6. Install hydraulic motor to axle assembly (see Rear
Axle Motor in Chapter 5 − Hydraulic System).
7. Remove caps and plugs from hydraulic hoses and
steering cylinder fittings. Secure hydraulic hoses to
steering cylinder (see Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installa-
tion in Chapter 5 − Hydraulic System).

Failure to maintain proper wheel lug nut torque
could result in failure or loss of wheel and may
result in personal injury.
8. Install wheel assemblies to rear axle. Lower machine
to ground. Torque wheel lug nuts from 85 to 100 ft−lb
(116 to 135 N−m).
9. Replace drain plugs and fill rear axle with SAE
85W−140 weight gear lube − 128 fl. oz. (3.31 L) total:
A. Gearbox (Fig. 11) − 16 fl. oz. (0.47 L)
