B. Components/Systems

1. Chassis

The chassis is fabricated of formed steel plates that are then welded in a fixture to assure parts interchange ability. The entire assembly is then cleaned, primed, and painted.

2. Front Steer Axle

The front steer axle is cast as a solid beam to prevent fabrication joints. To this beam areattached the spindles, leaf springs, and steering cylinder.

FRONT STEER AXLE / SUSPENSION FIGURE 1-2-2

3. Front Suspension

Leaf springs are used to supply ride control and support to the front of the tractor. These springs are angled to permit wheel clearance in tight turn situations. This produces a good ride, excellent stability, and minimal maintenance.

4. Front Brakes The front brakes are disc type with actuation supplied by 1/2 of the master cylinder. 5. Steering System

The steering consists of a hydraulic pump on the engine, rotary valve (attached to the steering wheel), hydraulic hoses, and a steering cylinder (attached to the front axle). As the steering wheel is turned, pressurized fluid from the pump is metered by the rotary valve in small increments to the steering cylinder, which turns the front wheels. To assure steering in emergency situations, the rotary valve will move fluid without the pump; however greater force is required from the operator to turn the steering wheel.

6. Rear Axle

The rear axle is designed for this particular unit and permits the engine/transmission to deliver driving force through a drive shaft.

7. Rear Brakes

Self adjusting disc type brakes are used on the rear of the tractor and are actuated by ½ of the master cylinder. (See Chapter 5 for more detailed information.)

8. Rear Suspension The rear suspension consists of leaf springs, which are mounted to the rear of the axle by

mounting blocks to maintain the correct mounting location. 9. Parking Brake

To prevent movement when parked and for potential emergency situations, a hand operated braking system is included. An over-center handle applies the brakes through rods and a bell crank attached to a brake lever located on the transmission.

10. Wheels/Tires

High capacity three or two-piece wheels and tires are used. The three-piece wheels are made in three parts: the main wheel, the removable bead, and the locking ring. The two-piece wheels consist of inner and outer halves bolted together. Various tire options are available upon request.

11. Engine

The tractor is equipped with an internal combustion engine. (See page 1-2 and Chapter 5 for more detailed information).

12. Transmission

The tractor is equipped with an automatic transmission. The transmission is equipped with two or three speeds forward and one speed reverse. (See page 1-2 and Chapter 5 for more detailed information).

13. Drive Shaft The drive shaft utilizes two universal joints and a sliding spindle coupling to deliver effective and quiet power transfer between the transmission and drive axle.

14. Fuel System The fuel system consists of the fuel tank, connecting lines, filter, pump, and regulator. The fuel tank is constructed of aluminized steel with welded seams and is pressure tested to ensure safe operation.

15. Electrical System Electrical power is supplied by a 12 bolt battery and a belt driven alternator mounted to the engine. The system is a 12 volt direct current with negative ground.

16. Lighting Circuit

All lights are controlled from the operator console and use standard 12 volt automotive bulbs. The complement of lights and related accessories depends on the requirements of the application.

4. Trailer Towing Procedure

Trailers are used in many configurations. The operator must be familiar with the style used in his work area.

Two basic steering systems are found on these trailers, two wheel steer and four wheel steer.

On the two wheel steer unit the front axle pivots in the center and is part of the tow bar. This system produces rear end swing (the corners of the trailers fill an area wider than the trailer when turning).

ON THE FOUR WHEEL STEER TRAILERS THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES PIVOT ON TURNTABLES THAT ARE CONNECTED DIAGONALLY SO THAT THE WHEELS TURN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THIS PERMITS THE TRAILER TO TRACK AND PREVENTS REAR END SWING WHEN TURNING.

CAUTION WHEN DRIVING, THE OPERATOR MUST REMAIN AWARE OF THIS EXTRA WIDTH WHILE MOVING AMONG OBSTACLES.

CAUTION THE OPERATOR MUST BECOME AWARE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM USED ON THE TRAILERS IN HIS WORK AREA.
