1. Introduction
1.5 General precautions for disassembly and installation
1.5.1 Precautions for disassembling and installing
Before Operation
Always be safety conscious in selecting clothes to wear and correct tools to use.
Before disassembly, make sure that you become familiar with the assembled condition to assist in
assembly.
Keep parts, and tools in the correct order during operations.
When assembling disassembled parts, discard used gasket, O-rings, or oil seals and install new ones.
When lifting, tip only the front, or rear part of the tractor, make sure to wedge the grounded wheels.
When the tractor is jacked up, make sure to support the full tractor with a stand. Do not raise the tractor
with only a jack. This is a dangerously unstable procedure.
1.5.2 Precautions when installing according to standards parts
Bearings
Use an installer when installing a bearing in a housing by the outer race. The installer is specially designed
to push only the outer race and vice versa.
The installer must be designed to install the bearing on the shaft in a parallel position.
When installing a bearing which looks the same on both sides, install the face with the identification
number visible. Install all bearings in the transmission case with their identification number pointing
outward.
A bearing installed in a shaft or a hole with an inner seat, must be pushed in fully until seated.
Bearings must turn smoothly.
Oil seals
A oil seal installer must not deform the oil seals.
During installation, be careful not to damage the lips. Make sure that the bearing is pushed in parallel to the
shaft or hole.
Installed oil seals must have no turnover of the lips and no dislocation of the springs.
When a multi-lip seal is installed, the grooves between the lips must be filled with grease.
Use a lithium-based grease.
There must not be any oil or water leaks around the new seals.
O-rings
Coat O-rings with grease before installing.
Installed O-rings must not have any tension or twist.
Installed O-rings must keep correct tightness.
1-204608 / 4609 / 4610 Service Manual
4283492M3
Page 33
Snap rings
Snap ring installers must be designed so as not to
permanently deform the snap rings (1).
Installed snap rings must be installed correctly in
the groove.
Be careful not to overload the snap ring to the
point that the snap ring is permanently deformed.
Install a snap ring as shown in the figure, with its
round edge turned toward the retained part. This
round edge is formed when the snap ring is
pressed out.
Spring (roll) pin
Spring pins must install tightly.
Spring pins must be installed so that the seams
point to the direction from which the load is
applied.
1. Introduction
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
Cotter pins
Correctly bend the cotter pins at the ends as
shown in the figure when installing.
Fig. 10
Bolts and Nuts
Special bolts are installed at some locations, so make sure not to interchange the special bolts with the
other bolts.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts and nuts to their specified torque .
When locking the bolts or nuts with wire, take note in the winding direction to hold the bolt tight.
4608 / 4609 / 4610 Service Manual 1-21
4283492M3
Page 34
1. Introduction
When locking the bolts or nuts with a tab lock washer, bend the tab against the hex, to give secure
locking.
When locking bolts and nuts with an adhesive apply the adhesive on the thread and tighten correctly.
Apply a sealant to parts which have any risk of oil leaks, such as stud bolts and treaded holes.
Tighten each lock nut tight.
See the tightening torque table in introduction section when tightening the bolts and nuts.
Grease fittings
After installation, fill each grease fitting with grease.
When installing 45° or 90° grease fittings, make sure to turn the fitting in a direction that will let easy
access for a grease gun.
Other precautions
Make sure not to damage any finished surfaces or parts.
Always refrain from forcing installation.
Install each lever knob coated with an adhesive.
Coat each contact surface with an adhesive and tighten equally with bolts. Install adhesive coated surfaces
within 30 minutes after application of the adhesive.
The contact surface must be flawless and free from unwanted material. Remove all grease before
application of the adhesive.
Precautions for applying adhesives:
•
The surface or the thread where an adhesive is to be applied must be fully free of chips.
• The surface of the thread where an adhesive is to be applied must be fully free of oil.
