Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a
good all-around maintenance program. If the
oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is
ignored, all the maintenance procedures in the
world are not going to keep the transmission
running or assure long transmission life.

The use of mild EP gear oil or multi-purpose gear oil is not recommended, but if
these gear oils are used, be sure to adhere to
the following limitations:
Do not use mild EP gear oil or multi-purpose gear oil when operating temperatures are
above 230°F (110°C). Many of these gear oils,
particularly 85W140, break down above 230°F
and coat seals, bearings and gears with deposits that may cause premature failures. If
these deposits are observed (especially a coating on seal areas causing oil leakage), change
to Eaton Roadranger CD50 transmission fluid,
heavy duty engine oil or mineral gear oil to
assure maximum component life and to maintain your warranty with Eaton. (Also see
“Operating Temperatures”.)
Additives and friction modifiers are not recom-
mended for use in Eaton Fuller transmissions.
Proper Oil Level
Make sure oil is level with filler opening. Be-
cause you can reach oil with your finger does
not mean oil is at proper level. One inch of oil
level is about one gallon of oil.
Draining Oil
Drain transmission while oil is warm. To drain
oil remove the drain plug at bottom of case.
Clean the drain plug before re-installing.
Refilling
Clean case around filler plug and remove plug
from side of case. Fill transmission to the
level of the filler opening. If transmission has
two filler openings, fill to level of both open-
ings.
The exact amount of oil will depend on the
transmission inclination and model. Do not
over fill—this will cause oil to be forced out
of the transmission,
When adding oil, types and brands of oil
should not be mixed because of possible in-
compatibility.

and Mineral Oil
The transmission should not be operated consistently at temperatures above 250°F (120°C).
However, intermittent operating temperatures
to 300°F (149°C) will not harm the transmis-
sion. Operating temperatures above 250°F
increase the lubricant’s rate of oxidation and
shorten its effective life. When the average
operating temperature is above 250°F, the
transmission may require more frequent oil
changes or external cooling.
The following conditions in any combination can cause operating temperatures of over
250°F: (1) operating consistently at slow
speeds, (2) high ambient temperatures, (3) restricted air flow around transmission, (4) exhaust system too close to transmission, (5)
high horsepower, overdrive operation.
External oil coolers are available to reduce
operating temperatures when the above condi-
tions are encountered.
Proper Lubrication Levels
as Related to Transmission
Installation Angles
If the transmission operating angle is more
than 12 degrees, improper lubrication can occur. The operating angle is the transmission
mounting angle in the chassis plus the percent of upgrade (expressed in degrees).
The chart below illustrates the safe percent
of upgrade on which the transmission can be
used with various chassis mounting angles.
For example: if you have a 4 degree transmission mounting angle, then 8 degrees (or 14
percent of grade) is equal to the limit of 12
degrees. If you have a O degree mounting
angle, the transmission can be operated on a
12 degree (21 percent) grade.
Anytime the transmission operating angle of
12 degrees is exceeded for an extended
period of time the transmission should be
equipped with an oil pump or cooler kit to
insure proper lubrication.
Note on the chart the effect low oil levels
can have on safe operating angles. Allowing
the oil level to fall 1/2" below the filler plug
hole reduces the degree of grade by approximately 3 degrees (5.5 percent).
Proper Lubrication Levels are Essential!
Transmission Oil Coolers are:
Recommended
— With engines of 350 H.P. and above
with overdrive transmissions
Required
— With engines 399 H.P. and above with
overdrive transmissions and GCW’S
over 90,000 lbs.
— With engines 399 H.P. and above and
1400 Lbs.-Ft. or greater torque
— With engines 450 H.P. and above
With EP or Multipurpose Gear Oil
—
Mild EP gear oil and multipurpose gear oil are
not recommended when lubricant operating
temperatures are above 230°F (110°C). In addition, transmission oil coolers are not recommended with these gear oils since the oil
cooler materials may be attacked by these
gear oils. The lower temperature limit and oil
cooler restriction with these gear oils generally limit their success to milder applications.

POWER FLOW
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine's power, in terms of torque, to the vehicle's rear wheels.
Knowledge of what takes place in the transmission during torque transfer is essential when trouble-shooting
and making repairs become necessary.

TIMING
Timing Procedures: All Models
It is essential that both countershaft assemblies of
the front and auxiliary sections are “timed.” This assures proper tooth contact is made between mainshaft gears seeking to center on the mainshaft
during torque transfer and mating countershaft gears
that distribute the load evenly. If not properly timed,
serious damage to the transmission is likely to result
from unequal tooth contact causing the mainshaft
gears to climb out of equilibrium.
Timing is a simple procedure of marking the appropriate teeth of a gear set prior to installation and
placing them in proper mesh while in the transmission. In the front section, it is necessary to time only
the drive gear set. And depending on the model, only
the low range, deep reduction, or splitter gear set is
timed in the auxiliary section.
Front Section
A. Marking countershaft drive gear teeth.
1. Prior to placing each countershaft assembly
into case, clearly mark the tooth located
directly over the keyway of drive gear as
shown. This tooth is stamped with an “O” to
aid identification.
C. Meshing marked countershaft drive gear teeth
with marked main drive gear teeth.
(After placing the mainshaft assembly into case,
the countershaft bearings are installed to corn=
plete installation of the countershaft assemblies.)
1.
When installing the bearings on left counter;
shaft, mesh the marked tooth of countershaft
drive gear with either set of two marked teeth
on the main drive gear.
2.
Repeat the procedure when installing the
bearings on right countershaft, making use of
the remaining set of two marked teeth on the
main drive gear to time assembly.

1.
Mark any two adjacent teeth on the mainshaft
gear of set to be timed. Then mark the two adjacent teeth located directly opposite the first
set marked as shown in Illustration B.
2.
Prior to placing each auxiliary countershaft assembly into housing, mark the tooth stamped
with an “O” on gear to mate with timed mainshaft gear as shown in Illustration A.
3.
Install the mainshaft gear in position on range
mainshaft OR output shaft.
4.

Correct torque application is extremely important to assure long transmission life and dependable performance. Over-tightening
or under-tightening can result in a loose installation and, in many instance, eventually cause damage to transmission gears, shafts,
and/or bearings. Use a torque wrench whenever possible to attain recommended lbs./ft. ratings. Tighten clutch housing fasteners
in a cross-pattern to help insure even clamp distribution.

TOOL REFERENCE
Some repair procedures pictured in this manual show
the use of specialized tools. Their actual use is recommended as they make transmission repair easier,
faster, and prevent costly damage to critical parts.
But for the most part, ordinary mechanic’s tools
such as socket wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., and
other standard shop items such as a press, mauls and
soft bars are all that is needed to successfully disassemble and reassemble any Fuller Transmission.

PRECAUTIONS
Disassembly
It is assumed in the detailed assembly instructions that the lubricant has been drained from transmission, the
necessary linkage and air lines disconnected and the transmission has been removed from vehicle chassis. Removal of the gear shift lever housing assembly (or remote control assembly) is included in the detailed instruc-
tions (Disassembly and Reassembly - Shifting Controls); however, this assembly MUST be detached from shift
bar housing before transmission can be removed.
FOLLOW CLOSELY EACH PROCEDURE IN THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS, MAKING USE OF THE TEXT, ILLUS-
TRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED.
1. BEARINGS - Carefully wash and relubricate all
reusable bearings as removed and protectively
wrap until ready for use. Remove bearings planned
to be reused with pullers designed for this pur-
pose.
2. ASSEMBLIES - When disassembling the various
assemblies, such as the mainshaft, countershaft,
and shift bar housing, lay all parts on a clean
bench in the same sequence as removed. This procedure will simplify reassembly and reduce the
possibility of losing parts.
3. SNAP RINGS - Remove snap rings with pliers de-
signed for this purpose. Snap rings removed in this
manner can be reused, if they are not sprung or
loose.
4. INPUT SHAFT - The input shaft can be removed
from transmission without removing the coun-
tershafts, mainshaft, or main drive gear. Special
procedures are required and provided in this man-
ual.
CLEANLINESS - Provide a clean place to work. It
5
is important that no dirt or foreign material enters
the unit during repairs. Dirt is an abrasive and can
damage bearings. It is always good practice to
clean the outside of the unit before starting the
planned disassembly.
WHEN USING TOOLS TO MOVE PARTS - Always
6
apply force to shafts, housings, etc, with restraint.
Movement of some parts is restricted. Never apply
force to the part being driven after it stops solidly.
The use of soft hammers, bars and mauls for all
disassembly work is recommended.
Inspection
Before reassembling the transmission, check each part carefully for abnormal or excessive wear and damage to
determine reuse or replacement. When replacement is necessary, use only genuine Fuller Transmission parts to
assure continued performance and extended life from your unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of the total cost of downtime and labor, avoid reusing a questionable part which could lead to additional repairs and expense soon after initial reassembly. To aid
in determining the reuse or replacement of any transmission part, consideration should also be given to the unit’s history, mileage, application, etc.
Recommended inspection procedures are provided in the following checklist.
A. BEARINGS
1.
Wash all bearings in clean solvent. Check
balls, rollers and raceways for pitting, discoloration, and spalled areas. Replace bearings
that are pitted, discolored, or spalled.
Lubricate bearings that are not pitted, discol-
2.
ored, or spalled and check for axial and radial
clearances.
Replace bearings with excessive clearances.
3.
Check bearing fits. Bearing inner races
should be tight to shaft; outer races slightly
tight to slightly loose in case bore. If bearing
spins freely in bore, however, the case should
be replaced.
B. GEARS
Check gear teeth for frosting and pitting.
1.
Frosting of gear tooth faces present no threat
of transmission failure. Often in continued
operation of the unit, frosted gears will “heal”
and not progress to the pitting stage. And in
most cases, gears with light to moderate pitted teeth have considerable gear life remain-
ing and can be reused. But gears with
advanced stage pitting should be replaced.
Check for gears with clutching teeth abnor-
2.
mally worn, tapered, or reduced in length
from clashing in shifting. Replace gears
found in any of these conditions.
PRECAUTIONS
Inspection (cont'd.)
3. Check axial clearance of gears. Where excessive clearance is found, check gear snap ring,
washer, spacer, and gear hub for excessive
wear. Maintain .005” to .012” axial clearance
between mainshaft gears.
C. SPLINES
1. Check splines on all shafts for abnormal wear.
If sliding clutch gears, companion flange, or
clutch hub have worn into the sides of the
splines, replace the specific shaft affected.
D. TOLERANCE/LIMIT WASHERS
1. Check surfaces of all limit washers. Washers
scored or reduced in thickness should be
replaced.
E. REVERSE IDLER GEAR ASSEMBLIES
1. Check for excessive wear from action of roller
bearings.
F. GRAY IRON PARTS
1. Check all gray iron parts for cracks and breaks.
Replace or repair parts found to be damaged.
Heavy castings may be welded or brazed provided the cracks do not extend into bearing
bores or bolting surfaces. When welding, however, never place the ground so as to allow current to pass through the transmission.
G. CLUTCH RELEASE PARTS
1.
Check clutch release parts. Replace yokes
worn at cam surfaces and bearing carrier
worn at contact pads.
2.
Check pedal shafts. Replace those worn at
bushing surfaces.
H. SHIFT BAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY
1. Check for wear on shift yokes and blocks at
pads and lever slot. Replace excessively worn
parts.
2. Check yokes for correct alignment. Replace
sprung yokes.
3. Check Iockscrews in yokes and blocks.
Tighten and rewire those found loose.
4. If housing has been disassembled, check
neutral notches of shift bars for wear from interlock balls.
I.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER HOUSING
ASSEMBLY
1. Check spring tension on shift lever. Replace
tension spring and washer if lever moves too
freely.
2. If housing is disassembled, check spade pin
and corresponding slot in lever for wear. Replace both parts if excessively worn.
BEARING COVERS
J.
1. Check covers for wear from thrust of adjacent
bearing. Replace covers damaged from thrust
of bearing outer race.
2. Check bores of covers for wear. Replace
those worn oversize.
K.
OIL RETURN THREADS
AND SEALS
Check oil return threads in front bearing
1.
cover. If sealing action of threads has been
destroyed by contact with input shaft, replace
bearing cover.
2.
Check oil seal in rear bearing cover. If sealing
action of lip has been destroyed, replace seal.
L.
SLIDING CLUTCHES
1. Check all shift yokes and yoke slots in sliding
clutches for extreme wear or discoloration
from heat.
2. Check engaging teeth of sliding clutches for
partial engagement pattern.
M.
SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY
1. Check synchronizer for burrs, uneven and ex-
cessive wear at contact surface, and metal
particles.
2. Check blocker pins for excessive wear or
looseness.
3. Check synchronizer contact surfaces on the
auxiliary drive and low range gears for excessive wear.
N.
O-RINGS
1. Check all O-rings for cracks or distortion. Re-
place if worn.
PRECAUTIONS
Reassembly
Make sure that interiors of case and housings are clean. It is important that dirt and other foreign materials be
kept out of the transmission during reassembly. Dirt is an abrasive and can damage polished surfaces of
bearings and washers. Use certain precautions, as listed below, during reassembly.
1.
GASKETS - Use new gaskets throughout the
transmission as it is being rebuilt. Make sure all
gaskets are installed. An omission of any gasket
can result in oil leakage or misalignment of
bearing covers.
2.
CAPSCREWS - To prevent oil leakage, use Loctite
242 thread sealant on all capscrews. For torque
ratings, see TORQUE RECOMMENDATIONS.
3.
O-RINGS - Lubricate all O-rings with silicon lubri-
cant.
4.
ASSEMBLY - Refer to the illustrations provided in
the detailed disassembly instructions as a guide
to reassembly.
INITIAL LUBRICATION - Coat all limit washers
5.
and splines of shafts with Lubriplate during reassembly to prevent scoring and galling of such
parts.
6.
AXIAL CLEARANCES - Maintain original axial
clearances of .005” to .012” for mainshaft gears.
7.
BEARINGS - Use of flanged-end bearing drivers is
recommended for the installation of bearings.
These special drivers apply equal force to both
bearing races, preventing damage to balls/rollers
and races while maintaining correct bearing alignment with bore and shaft. Avoid using a tubular or
sleeve-type driver, whenever possible, as force is
applied to only one of the bearing races. See
TOOL REFERENCE.
8.
UNIVERSAL JOINT COMPANION FLANGE OR
YOKE - Pull the companion flange or yoke tightly
into place with the output shaft nut, using 450-500
foot-pounds of torque. Make sure the speedometer drive gear or a replacement spacer of the same
width has been installed. Failure to pull the com-
panion flange or yoke tightly into place will permit
the output shaft to move axially with resultant
damage to the rear bearing.
IMPORTANT: REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST (SPECl-
FIED BY MODEL SERIES) TO ENSURE THAT PROPER PARTS ARE
USED DURING REASSEMBLY OF THE TRANSMISSION.
CHANGING INPUT SHAFT
Special Procedure
In some cases, it may become necessary to replace the input shaft due to excessive clutch wear on the splines.
Except for removal of the shift bar housing assembly, the input shaft can be removed without further disas-
sembly of the transmission. Removal of the clutch housing is optional.
NOTE: The following illustration and instructions pertain to changing the input shaft ONLY. To change the main
drive gear, disassembly of the front section is required.
Disassembly
1.
Remove the gear shift lever housing assembly (or
remote control assembly) from shift bar housing,
if necessary, and the shift bar housing assembly
from transmission case.
2.
Remove the front bearing cover and gasket. If necessary, remove the oil seal from cover of models
so equipped.
Remove the drive gear bearing nut (left hand
3.
threads) or snap ring from input shaft.
Suggestion: For removal of nut ONLY, engage Iwo
mainshaft sliding clutches into gear to prevent the
mainshaft from rotating.
4.
Move the main drive gear assembly as far forward
as possible and remove the drive gear bearing.
Remove the spacer from input shaft.
5.
From the front of transmission, remove the snap
6.
ring from I.D. of main drive gear using two small
screwdrivers. If mainshaft was previously locked
in two gears, it may become necessary to place
sliding clutches in the neutral position to rotate
input shaft for removal of snap ring.

5. Using a flanged-end driver, install the drive gear
bearing on shaft and into case bore. When applying force to driver, use caution so as not to damage bearing shield.
Suggestion:
main drive gear and blocking it forward will hold
the input shaft forward.
6. When drive gear bearing nut is used, degrease
the threads of input shaft and new nut. DO NOT
REUSE OLD NUT. When snap ring is used, install
the snap ring in groove of input shaft and proceed to #10.
7. Apply Fuller Transmission adhesive sealant
#71204 or equivalent to the cleaned threads of in-
put shaft and nut, using caution so as not to con-
taminate bearing with sealant.
8. Engage two mainshaft sliding clutches into gear
to prevent the mainshaft from rotating and install
the new drive gear bearing nut, left-hand threads,
on input shaft. Tighten nut with 250-300 Lbs./Ft.
of torque.
Suggestion: To avoid damaging the O.D. of nut,
use the tool specifically designed for this pur-
pose. See TOOL REFERENCE.
9. With a punch and maul, peen the nut into the two
milled slots of input shaft, using caution so as
not to distort O.D. of nut.
10. To facilitate proper reinstallation of the shift bar
housing assembly on case, make sure mainshaft
sliding-clutches are placed in the neutral position.
11. Reinstall the shift bar housing assembly, the
front bearing cover and all other parts and as-
semblies previously removed, making sure to replace the gaskets used.

AIR SYSTEM
AIR SYSTEM
RANGE SHIFT AIR SYSTEM—ALL MODELS
Operation
The Range Shift Air System consists of the air filter/
regulator, slave valve, a Range Control Valve or Master Control Valve, range cylinder, fittings and
connecting air lines. See Air System Schematics.
CONSTANT AIR from the air filter/regulator is supplied to the “S” or Supply Port of slave valve and
passed through to the INLET or “S” Port of control
valve.
WHILE IN LOW RANGE, the control valve is OPEN
and AIR is returned to slave valve at the “P” or End
Port. This signals the valve to supply AIR in line be-
tween the Low Range or “L” Port of slave valve and
the Low Range Port of range cylinder housing. AIR
received at this port moves the range piston to the
rear and causes the auxiliary low range gear to be-
come engaged.
WHILE IN HIGH RANGE, the control valve is
CLOSED and NO AIR is returned to the slave valve.
This signals the slave valve to supply AIR in line between the High Range or “H” Port of valve and the
High Range Port of range cylinder cover. AIR received at this port moves the range piston forward to
engage the auxiliary drive gear with sliding clutch
and bypass the low range gear set.
Range shifts can be made ONLY when the gear
shift lever is in, or passing through, neutral. Thus, the
range desired can be PRESELECTED while the shift
lever is in -a gear position. As the lever is moved
through neutral, the actuating plunger in the shift bar
housing releases the slave valve, allowing it to move
to the selected range position.
Trouble Shooting
If the transmission fails to make a range shift or
shifts too slowly, the fault may be in the Range Shift
Air System or actuating components of the shift bar
housing assembly.
To locate the trouble, the following checks should
be made with normal vehicle air pressure applied to
the system, but with the engine off.
CAUTION: NEVER WORK UNDER A VEHICLE
WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING as personal injury may
result from the sudden and unintended movement of
vehicle under power.
1. INCORRECT AIR LINE HOOK-UPS
(See Air System Schematics)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, move the control that provides range selection UP and DOWN.
A. If the air lines are crossed between control
valve and slave valve, there will be CONSTANT AIR flowing from the exhaust port of
control valve WHILE IN HIGH RANGE.
B. If the air lines are crossed between the slave
valve and range cylinder, the transmission
gearing will not correspond with the range selection. A LOW RANGE selection will result in
a HIGH RANGE engagement and vice versa.
2. AIR LEAKS
With the gear shift lever in neutral, coat all air
lines and fittings with soapy water and check for
leaks, moving the control that provides range selection UP and DOWN.
A.
If there is a steady leak from the exhaust port
of control valve, O-rings and/or related parts
of the control valve are defective.
B.
If there is a steady leak from breather of slave
valve: an O-ring in valve is defective, or there
is a leak past O-rings of range cylinder piston.
If transmission fails to shift into LOW RANGE
C.
or is slow to make the range shift and the
case is pressurized, see Check No. 7 of this
section.
D.
Tighten all loose connections and replace defective O-rings and parts.
3. AIR FILTER/REGULATOR
(See illustration, Page 27.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, check the
breather of air filter/regulator assembly. There
should be NO AIR leaking from this port. The
complete assembly should be replaced if a
steady leak is found.
Cut off the vehicle air supply to the air filter/
regulator assembly, disconnect the air line at fitting in Supply OUTLET and install an air gage in
opened port. Bring the vehicle air pressure to nor-
mal. Regulated air pressure should be 57.5 to 62.5
PSI.
DO NOT ADJUST SCREW AT BOTTOM OF REGU-
LATOR TO OBTAIN CORRECT READINGS. The
air regulator has been PREADJUSTED within the
correct operating limits. Any deviation from these
limits, especially with regulators that have been
in operation for some time, is likely to be caused
by dirt or worn parts. If replacement or cleaning
of the filter element does nothing to correct the
air pressure readings, replace the complete assembly, as the air regulator is nonserviceable.
4. CONTROL VALVE (See Pages 28 and 29.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select HIGH
RANGE and disconnect the 1/8" O.D. air line at
the OUTLET or “P” Port of control valve.
AIR SYSTEM
A. When LOW RANGE is selected, a steady blast
of air will flow from opened port. Select HIGH
RANGE to shut off air flow. This indicates the
control valve is operating properly. Reconnect
air line.
B. If control valve does not operate properly,
check for restrictions and air leaks. Leaks indicate defective or worn O-rings.
5. HIGH RANGE OPERATION
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select LOW
RANGE and disconnect the
1
/4” I.D. air line at the
port of range cylinder cover. Make sure this line
leads from the High Range or “H” Port of slave
valve.
A. When HIGH RANGE is selected, a steady
blast of air should flow from disconnected
line. Select LOW RANGE to shut off air flow.
B. Move the shift lever to a gear position and se-
lect HIGH RANGE. There should be NO AIR
flowing from disconnected line. Return the
gear shift lever to the neutral position. There
should now be a steady flow of air from disconnected line. Select LOW RANGE to shut
off air flow and reconnect air line.
C. If the air system does not operate accord-
ingly, the slave valve or actuating components
of the shift bar housing assembly are defective.
7. RANGE CYLINDER (Refer to the following
illustration.)
If any of the seals in the range cylinder assembly
are defective, the range shift will be affected.
A.
Leak at either O-ring A results in complete
failure to make a range shift; steady flow of
air from breather of slave valve in both
ranges.
B.
Leak at gasket B results in a steady flow of air
to atmosphere while in HIGH RANGE.
Leak at O-ring C results in a slow shift to
C.
LOW RANGE; pressurizing of transmission
case.
C. If the air system does not operate accord-
ingly, the slave valve or actuating components
of the shift bar housing assembly are defective.
IMPORTANT: RANGE PRESELECTION
The plunger pin, located in case bore between
the slave valve and actuating plunger of shift bar
housing, prevents the slave valve from operating
while the shift lever is in a gear position. When
the lever is moved to or through the neutral position, the pin is released and the salve valve becomes operational.
LOW RANGE OPERATION
6.
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select HIGH
RANGE and disconnect the 1/4” I.D. air line at the
fitting on range cylinder housing. Make sure this
line leads from the Low Range or “L” Port of
slave valve.
When LOW RANGE is selected, a steady blast
A.
of air should flow from disconnected line. Se-
lect HIGH RANGE to shut off air flow.
Move the shift lever to a gear position and se-
B.
lect LOW RANGE. There should be NO AIR
flowing from disconnected line. Return the
gear shift lever to the neutral position. There
should now be a steady flow of air from disconnected line. Select HIGH RANGE to shut
off air flow and reconnect air line.
