SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

AS REQUIRED

f.Rotate the outer wheel so the lugs lock together, one on the inside of the rim and two on the spacer. Raise the axle of the tractor up or lower it down to assist the spacer in

entering the diameter of the outer wheel.

1

Once the outer wheel is positioned on the

spacer, pull the two tie rods through the

 

brackets, 1, on the outer wheel rim. Install a

 

flat washer and flanged nut on each of the

 

two tie rods and snug the nuts to hold the

 

assembly in place. Install the remaining tie

 

rods with flange nuts on the inner wheel and

 

through the outer wheel brackets.

 

NOTE: The outer wheel must be inset (narrow tread width) the same as the inner wheel when installed.

NOTE: Install the wheels so that both inner and outer treads face the same direction.

g.Install remaining outer flanged wheel nuts, 1, and washers, 2, onto the ends of each tie rod. Tighten the outer wheel nuts to draw the wheels together by gradually cross-torquing to 300 Nm (220 ft. lbs.) on the outer flanged wheels. Do not overtighten the bolts or thread damage may result. Be sure that the spacer is entering the diameter of the inner and outer wheels evenly and without any distortion of the spacer or wheels.

NOTE: Special tool BLR20025 deep well socket is available to assist in tightening the outer wheel nuts. Order the tool from SPX/OTC tool company.

IMPORTANT: Do not lubricate the threads of the tie rods with any type of grease, oil, or lubricating spray.
