raising one end. Ensure the other end is securely
chocked. Do not rely solely on the machine hydraulics
or jacks to support the machine when working under
it.
Disconnect the battery, to prevent the engine being
started while you are beneath the machine.

Component Identification
F3-4 F3-4F-03-10 Issue 01
Component Identification
The illustration shows a typical 3 piece steer drive front
axle. K Fig 2. ( T F3-5)
The front axle consists of a centre casing (drivehead) and
two axle arms and swivel wheel hubs.
The drivehead houses the differential gearing and two oil-
immersed disc brake units.
The axle arms house the driveshafts. Specially shaped
spider gears in the differential provide `torque
proportioning'. This means that drive power will be kept on
one wheel if the other is slipping.
The wheel hubs are connected to the halfshafts through
universal joints which drive sun-and-planet gears inside
the hubs.
A Yoke connection to propshaft
B Pinion
C Crownwheel
D Differential unit
Note: Items A, B, C and D form the `drive head' part of
the axle.

G Reduction gear hub
H Steer swivel trunnion bearings

Note: Some machines may have shims installed on the
axle mounts. Make sure to note the position and quantity
of these shims before removal. Make sure to retain the
shims and replace them in the correct position when
replacing the axle. There may be an uneven number of
shims between each side of the axle as the shims are used
to adjust the machine height and make it level.
