Hydraulic pump drive
The hydraulic pump
is driven by a propeller shaft connected to the front engine
crankshaft pulley.
This shaft should
be greased weekly or every 50 operating hours. There are 3 grease
nipples on the shaft - one on each universal joint and one on the
centre sliding section.
One end of this
shaft will have to be removed to replace any of the drive belts. It
is recommended, and is in fact easier, to disconnect this from the
hydraulic pump end.
Take care
not to pull the two shaft halves apart - If you do so it must be put
back together in exactly the same position to ensure it stays in
balance. (Each half is marked with a series of centre punch marks to
indicate correct position)
Cooling fan drive
The radiator
cooling fan is driven by a shaft going underneath the cab from the
engine. There are two support bearings, two universal joints and 1
shaft slider which require greasing every 150 hrs (5 grease nipples
in all)
The shaft will
have to be removed from the engine end to enable fitting of belts etc

Cooling fan
The cooling fan
has a viscous coupling which does not require any maintenance. It can
be removed from the end of the drive shaft to facilitate removal of
the fan cowling and radiator but please note it is a left hand thread |
