--------------- END SUPPLEMENT ---------------
Improved tie rods and spindle assemblies are available as service replacement parts for all B-Series machines. The new 128-4128 Tie Rod Group has improved ball joint life. See Chart 1 for new part numbers.
NOTE: The taper on the 128-4128 Tie Rod Group has been changed requiring new spindles to be fitted. Both the tie rod and spindle must be changed at the same time.
NOTE: Both the left hand and right hand tie rods and spindles must be replaced when this change is implemented for the geometry to be correct.
The new tie rods and spindles were effective in production on the following machines:
- 416B (8SG14754-Up, 8ZK8630-Up),
- 426B (5YJ2350-Up, 6KL2047-Up),
- 436B (6MJ819-Up, 7FL880-Up).
