NOTE:
The agitator drive shaft and
linkage assembly is serviced as a com-
plete unit rather than an individual
component basis. The service replace-
ment will come fully assembled, and
ready to install. (Shown in the figure on
page 6-14.)
CRANK GEAR
The crank fits over a stud located in the
transmission housing assembly. Its
purpose is to drive the connecting rod on
the linkage assembly.
CLUSTER GEAR
The cluster gear consists of a large gear
with a small pinion gear pressed into its
center. The cluster gear fits over a stud
located in the transmission housing
assembly, and is secured to the stud by a
retaining ring. The purpose of the cluster
gear is to drive the crank gear.
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
The operation of the clutch
assembly and its components has been
previously detailed in
Section 2,
Outline
of Mechanical Operation.
The clutch assembly consists of the drive
shaft and hub assembly, clutch spring,
drive pinion, and a securing washer and
retaining ring.
The drive shaft rides in an upper and
lower sleeve bearing located in the drive
tube on the lower transmission housing.
The three (3) thrust washers (a plain steel
washer, a Teflon washer, and a steel
washer with tabs on its side) are installed
between the drive shaft hub and the inner
bottom of the transmission housing.
The transmission assembly must be re-
moved and disassembled before the
clutch assembly can be accessed. When
the clutch assembly is removed or in-
stalled, a seal protector tool (Part Number
14242), must be used to prevent damage
to the lower seal. The seal is located in
the bottom of the transmission drive tube
on the lower transmission housing.
The drive pinion is held on the shaft by a
retaining ring and washer. The clutch
spring can be removed from the drive
pinion and drive shaft hub by a twisting
motion. If a colored paint spot is present
on the clutch spring, it indicates which
end of the spring that is to be installed
over the drive hub. If no paint spot is
present, either end can be installed over
the drive hub. The drive hub is pinned to
the drive shaft and is not a replaceable
part.

When reinstalling the clutch assem-
bly, be sure to lubricate (with trans-
mission oil, Part Number 35-0466)
BOTH SIDES of all three (3) thrust
washers that are located between the
hub and inner bottom of the transmis-
sion housing. Replace them in the
same sequence they were installed.
