GEARBOX REPAIR
Read this entire section before starting any repair.
Many steps are dependent on each other.
Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings,
seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a
housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to
purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other
than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is
required.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the side level plug.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-
rected immediately.
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side
to side or end play in gear shafts.
Seal Replacement
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-
tex
®
Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets
and shaft seals.
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.
Seal Installation
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-
erly installed seal will leak.
