New Thrust Washer Eliminates Use Of Retaining Screws In Final Drive; Eliminates Possibility Of Damage From Loose Retaining Screws {4051}

Usage:


793 (3SJ),
793B (1HL),
793C (4AR) Off-Highway Trucks

Description of Change: To prevent slippage of the thrust washer, the new 140-8932 Thrust Washer design utilizes four tangs as opposed to the retaining screws previously used. The tangs of the inner thrust washer, located between the wheel bearing retaining plate and the first reduction planetary carrier, engage slots in the planetary carrier. The tangs of the outer thrust washer, located between the second reduction planetary sun gear and the cover, engage slots in the cover.

Adaptable To: This change is effective with 793C (4AR138) Off-Highway Truck. This change is also effective with 0R-8595 Remanufactured Wheel & Final Drive Group. The 140-8932 Thrust Washer is adaptable to the former 8X-0252, 107-3152, 113-4328, 125-6508, 135-7121, 0R-3818 and 0R-8287 Wheel & Final Drive Groups, by two methods. The first method is to add slots to the 7I-5595 Carrier and the 7I-5594 Cover. The second method is to replace the existing 7I-5535 Thrust Washers, 7I-5594 Cover and 7I-5595 Carrier with the new 140-8932 Thrust Washers, 141-0202 Cover and 141-0203 Carrier. The procedure and parts requirement for each method are included in this article.

Section L-L from Illustration 5. The new slots will be equally spaced; M=90°. N=13.2 ± .5 mm (.52 ± .02 in). Existing tapped holes (P) will no longer be used.


Illustration 7.
Section K-K from Illustration 4. Typical of four slots. Q=1.5 ± .5 mm x 45° (.06 ± .02 in x 45°). R=26.4 ± .5 mm (1.00 ± .02 in). S=.8 ± .2 mm (.03 ± .008 in) radius. T=10 ± .2 mm (.39 ± .008 in).

2. Machine four equally spaced slots in the 7I-5594 Cover. Reference the position of the slots from one of the two existing tapped holes.

3. Assemble the final drive using the modified 7I-5595 Carrier, the modified 7I-5594 Cover and two new 140-8932 Thrust Washers.

NOTE: Use 1P-0808 Grease to temporarily retain the thrust washer during assembly.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 on the remaining final drive.

NOTE: Eight 8C-7562 Retaining Screws and four 7I-5535 Thrust Washers will no longer be used.

Assembly Procedure With New Parts

1. Replace the existing 7I-5595 Carrier with the new 141-0203 Carrier.

2. Replace the existing 7I-5594 Cover with the new 141-0202 Cover.

3. Assemble the final drive using two new 140-8932 Thrust Washers.

NOTE: Use 1P-0808 Grease to temporarily retain the thrust washer during assembly.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 on the remaining final drive. This completes Method Two.

NOTE: Two 7I-5595 Carriers, two 7I-5594 Covers, four 7I-5535 Thrust Washers and eight 8C-7562 Retaining Screws will no longer be used.
