PLANETARY DIGGERDRIVE
This manual will assist in disassembly and assembly of the above series planetary Auger Drive. Item numbers,
indicated in parentheses throughout this manual, refer to the exploded parts breakdown drawing. Individual customer
specifications (bail assembly, output shaft, hydraulic motor, etc.) may vary from exploded drawing and standard part
numbers shown. If applicable, refer to individual customer drawing for details.
For any spare or replacement parts, contact your distributor or equipment manufacturer. Always try to have available the
auger unit part number, serial number and date code on the serial tag. This information may be necessary for verification
of any component part numbers. Component part numbers and/or manufacturing lot numbers may be stamped on
individual parts. This information may also be helpful in identifying replacement components.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Change the oil after the first 50 hrs. of operation. Oil should be changed at 500 hr. intervals thereafter. Gearboxes in auger
drives require GL-5 grade EP 80/90 gear oil for lubrication. The manufacturer recommends that the unit be partially
disassembled to inspect gears, splines, and bearings at 1000 hour intervals.
OIL CAPACITY: 6.5 pints
Proper oil level will measure to middle of primary cluster gears when auger drive is in vertical position.
For checking the oil in fully assembled units, see instructions on page 11.
WARNING: While working on this
equipment, wear adequate protective
clothing, hearing, eye, and respiratory
protection. Use safe lifting procedures.
UNIT DISASSEMBLY
(Refer to exploded view drawing on page 7)
1) Scribe a diagonal line, from the bail assembly (20) to the
bearing carrier (2), across the outside of the auger drive to
assure proper orientation of parts as they are re-assembled.
2) To drain oil, position unit on its side and remove oil plug
(41) located in the top case (1). To help ventilate oil while
draining, loosen hydraulic motor bolts (31)
drainage occurs when oil is warm.
NOTE: Particular care should be taken when placing the
unit in a position for servicing. Unit should be blocked up
so that weight of the unit is resting on the bearing carrier
(2). This fixture must be secure so that the auger drive will
not tip over during disassembly and assembly procedures.

SERVICE DIVISION BULLETIN #013
Revision 1 supersedes bulletin dated 01/14/86
DATE: 06/01/87
REFERENCE: All Series 71/76, 72/77, and 73/78 Auger drive units
SUBJECT: Inspection of Secondary Carriers
When repairing, updating or inspecting an auger drive, the secondary carrier should be
inspected for possible wear around the spline where it contacts the shaft retaining ring.
Under heavy use and / or in rocky regions, continual impacting of the retaining ring against
the carrier may cause wear in this area. If it wears to a beveled shape, high loading in the
pullout direction could cause the shaft retaining ring to dislodge from its groove allowing the
hex shaft to pull out of the unit.
If when inspected, the carrier is found to be worn to a bevel shape, the carrier should be
replaced with carrier part number 71-004-0073. Units with serial numbers prior to 4900
should also have the hex output shaft replaced with the current production revision, part
number 71-004-0513.
