  • Page 36 Front axle system - Powered front axle Powered front axle - Overview - Axle lubrication system Overview The 4WD tractors use a pressurized lubrication system for the front drive axle (1), the rear drive axle (2) and also for the optional power take off (PTO) output drop box, (if equipped). Axle lubrication oil is drawn from and returned back to the hydraulic reservoir (3).
  • Page 37 Front axle system - Powered front axle 315 and 425 series wheeled axle lubrication - System components involved The main components of the 315 and 425 axle lubrication system are: • 315 or 425 Series 4WD Tractor Drive Axles – The drive axles have internal passages and orifices which deliver the lube oil to the exact area required.

  • Page 45 Front axle system - Powered front axle Rowtrac series axle lubrication - System components involved (continued) The main components of the Rowtrac axle lubrication system are: • Rowtrac Series 4WD Tractor Drive Axles have final drive upboxes at the ends of each axle. These upboxes do not have common passages with the axle center section so they require external plumbing to supply the required lubrication oil and then return it back to the axle center section.
