Changing the Rear Axle
Lubricant (Model 30345 only)
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the 3 drain plugs, 1 on each end
and 1 in the center

1. Drain plug (3)
3. Remove the plugs, allowing the oil to drain into drain
pans.
4. Apply thread-locking compound on the drain-plug
threads and install them in the axle.
5. Fill the axle with lubricant; refer to

Checking the Torque on the
Steering-Cylinder-Mounting
Bolt (Model 30345 only)
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Check the torque on the steering-cylinder-mounting
bolts (Figure 55).
Note: Torque should be 48 to 60 ft-lb.

3. If the torque is incorrect, torque the bolts to 48 to 60
ft-lb.
Changing the
Bidirectional-Clutch Lubricant

(Model 30345 only)

Service Interval: Every 400 hours
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the check plug on the
bidirectional clutch.
3. Rotate the clutch so that the check plug is positioned
downward (Figure
1. Bidirectional clutch
4. Remove the check plug allowing all lubricant to flow
into a drain pan.
5. Rotate the clutch so that the check plug is positioned
at 4 o'clock.
6. Add Mobil Fluid 424 until the lubricant level is up to
the hole in the clutch.
Note: The clutch should be approximately 1/3 full.
7. Install the check plug.
Note: Do not use engine oil (such as 10W30) in the
bidirectional clutch. Anti-wear and extreme-pressure
additives will cause undesirable clutch performance.
