RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT AND FILL LEVEL
Recommended lubricant for the NV 021 is Mopar
Dexron II, or ATF Plus transmission fluid.
Approximate fluid capacity is 2.17 liters (4.6 pints).
The adapter fill and drain plugs are located in the
rear extension (Fig. 6).
The correct fill level is to the bottom edge of the
fill plug hole.
ADAPTER IDENTIFICATION
A round, identification tag (Fig. 7) is attached to
the rear extension. The tag provides the adapter
model number, assembly number, serial number, and
ratio.
The adapter serial number also represents the date
of build. For example, a serial number of 9-10-94
would represent September 10, 1994.

The adapter can be removed and disassembled for

ADAPTER SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
The PTO adapter should not be removed until di­
agnosis indicates a fault has actually occurred. Verify
that the other driveline components (transmission,
axle), are operating correctly before removing the
adapter.
Begin diagnosis by checking fluid level and shift
linkage adjustment. Have a helper observe linkage
operation if necessary.
If auxiliary power take-off equipment is attached to
the adapter, be sure the device is properly attached
and in mesh with the PTO gear. Loose, misaligned,
or incompatible auxiliary equipment will result in
noise and unsatisfactory operation.
The following diagnosis information provides a list­
ing of probable causes of an adapter malfunction.
Use the lists as a guideline during diagnosis.
• stop vehicle
• leave engine running
• shift transmission to Neutral
@ shift adapter to N
• shift transmission back to D range
• operate accessory
PTO ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT
Power take-off accessories such as pumps, gear
drives, and towing equipment, are operated by a
drive gear on the PTO adapter mainshaft.
The drive gear is accessible by removing the PTO
access cover on the front case (Fig. 3). The auxiliary
equipment to be operated is bolted directly to the
adapter once the cover has been removed.
