OPERATION 53

Clean the Transmission Suction Screen (12x4 Quad Shift III Transmission Only)

The 12x4 transmission has a removable sump screen located under the suction tube that will require cleaning periodically. To remove the suction screen, proceed as follows:

Drain the transmission oil.

Loosen and remove the four cap screws, 1, that mount the suction tube block to the rear face of the transmission. Push the tube out of the way to access the suction port.

Remove the suction screen from the port and clean it in a suitable solvent. Replace the screen into the suction port.

Check the O ring on the front face of the suction tube block to be sure that it is in good condition and is positioned properly. Replace the O ring if it is damaged. Reinstall the suction tube block bolts and torque to 75 N⋅m (55 ft. lbs.).

IMPORTANT: The powershift transmission has a non-removable suction screen that does not require maintenance.

Check the Transmission Mounts

Check the rubber transmission mounts and mounting hardware for condition and torque on both the powershift and Quad Shift III transmissions.

The Quad Shift III transmission is held in the front frame of the tractor by four bottom mounts, 1, and two top mounts, 2. Inspect the mounts for deterioration and wear. Torque the lower mounting bracket bolts, 3, to 224 N⋅m1 (165 ft. lbs.) and the upper mounting bracket bolts, 4, to

397N⋅m (293 ft. lbs.). Torque the mount bolts, 5, to 280 N⋅m (205 ft. lbs.).
