General Information Section

The 226-2380 Lift Bracket As includes a "C"-style lifting device, a short slide tube assembly, and long slide tube assembly. The lifting bracket is used to remove and install various final drive components. Additional adapter plates increase versatility and eliminate the need for multiple lifting brackets.

The following features provide maximum versatility.

• The upper tube can be adjusted horizontally, then bolted (locked) in place

• An ACME threaded rod moves the trolley to adjust the center of gravity, even under a load.

• The vertical tube is adjustable. A heavy-duty pin locks the tube at the desired position.

• The bottom rail accommodates various tube assemblies. A heavy-duty pin locks the tube at the desired position.

• Adapter plates can be attached to the tube assemblies to service various components.

Note: For additional information on specific applications, refer to the appropriate service manual.
