Check the Axle Mount Bolt Torque

Check the axle mount bolts for proper torque.

Torque the nuts, 1, and 2, must be torqued to 1335 N⋅m (1000 ft. lbs.). There are four sets of nuts on each end of both axles.

OPERATION 48

Check the Drawbar Wear Blocks

Inspect the stop wear blocks, 1, for excessive wear. If there is wear on the blocks, rotate them 90° to provide a new wear surface for the drawbar to ride against.

Measure the clearance between the top bridge plate, 2, and the drawbar support, 3. If there is 3

mm(1/8″) or less clearance, replace the wear block under the bridge plate. Support the drawbar and remove the clevis, 4, from the top of the drawbar. Remove the bolt, 5, and lift off the top bridge plate. Replace the wear block and reassemble the bridge plate. Torque the bridge plate bolt to 952 N⋅m (702 ft. lbs.). Replace the clevis and torque the clevis mounting bolts to 952 N⋅m (702 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: The wear block under the bridge plate is attached to the plate with four cap screws. Be sure to reinstall the wear block cap screws during reassembly.
