Figure 16. Side Drive Assembly
The drives between the center and side gearboxes
contain rubber shock-absorbing discs. To service or
remove the side drives or remove a gearbox, the
flexible coupling must be disassembled. See page 25
for rubber disk replacement.
Remove end yokes by removing nuts (9) and sliding
bolt (8) inward to clear yoke. Do not remove bolt unless
rubber disks (5) are to be serviced. Remove complete
center section by lifting straight up on center shaft (2).
The outer yoke can be slid off gearbox shaft. The inner
yoke is held by two set screws (11).
Reassemble shaft as shown in Figure 16. End yokes (3
& 4) do not bolt directly to center shaft (2). Use the
special formed washer (6) and bushings (7) between
the rubber disks (5) and under bolt head or nut near
rubber disc. Tighten nuts (9) and bolts (8) to 85 lbs-ft.
Tighten set screw (11).
