Latest History for the 850 Horse Power D11 Track-Type Tractor Pinion and Bevel Gear Part Numbers     |
|||||||
    | Introduced     | Pinion Gear     | Bevel Gear     | Gear Set     | Description     | Life     | Reference Literature     |
Generation 1     |     | 183-2257 Bevel Pinion     | 141-6346 Bevel Gear     | None     | Original gears     | Acceptable standard tractor life, some life issues in Carrydozers     |     |
Generation 2     | August 2007     | 286-2188 Bevel Pinion     | 286-2189 Bevel Gear     | None     | Same geometry as Generation 1, added isotropic finish, increase bevel gear lube flow     | Reduced life in all tractors, incorrect application of isotropic finish     | Service Magazine, SEPD0911 Special Instruction, REHS3381, "Reworking D11R and D11R CD Bevel Gear Group for Improved Lube Flow"     |
Generation 3     | August 2009     |     |     | 348-7123 Bevel Gear Set     | Matched gear set version of Generation 1     | Expected to be as good or better than Generation 1     |     |
Generation 4     | October 2009     |     |     | 348-7123 Bevel Gear Set     | Running change to slightly increase the case depth     | Incremental improvement over Generation 3     |     |
Generation 5     | April 2010     |     |     | 348-8130 Bevel Gear Set     | Tooth profile changed, not visibly noticeable, changed no load contact pattern     | Expect good life in all applications, some premature failures in extreme applications     | Service Magazine, SEPD1129     |
Generation 6     | August 2011     |     |     | 348-7123 Bevel Gear Set     | Same as Generation 4     | Same as Generation 4     |     |
Generation 7     | September 2012     |     |     | 368-6962 Bevel Gear Set     | Same as Generation 6 with the addition of special heat treat process, changed no load contact pattern     |     | Service Magazine, SEPD1509     |
Solution
If a bevel gear or pinion failure occurs, be sure to verify the part number that is stamped on the failed part before reporting in SIMS.
