Note: Cleanliness is an important factor. Before assembly, all parts should be thoroughly cleaned
in cleaning fluid. Allow the parts to air dry. Wiping cloths or rags should not be used to dry parts.
Lint may be deposited on the parts which may cause later trouble. Inspect all parts. If any parts are
worn or damaged, use new parts for replacement. All disassembly and all assembly procedures
must be performed on a clean work surface and in a clean hydraulic area. Always keep cleaned
parts covered and protected.

the housing surface. Take measurements at several different locations around the
housing. Compute the average of the measured dimensions and record the number.
Call this Dimension (Y).
f. Use a depth micrometer to measure the step length of coupling gear (38). Take
measurements at several different locations around coupling gear (38). Compute the
average of the measured dimensions and record the number. Call this Dimension (X).

C 439-3938 Link Bracket 2
Start By:
a. Release the hydraulic system pressure.
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.
Make sure all of the work tools have been lowered to the ground, and
the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil
filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.
