Spindle Relocation Procedure -

reference images on previous page

• Disconnect the scraper from the tractor, block the inside tires and raise rear. Support

with stands so rear tires rotate freely.

• Remove outside tires. NOTE: Removal of hub from spindle will allow easier access

to spindle mounting bolts.

• Lower the rear of the scraper or block the inside tires so they cannot rotate.

• Remove the nyloc nuts from the spindle mounting bolts, ensuring the inside wheel

does not move laterally.

• Remove the outside spindle and shift forward (as shown) on three of the existing

spindle fasteners (9” LG -- labeled “A” in OFFSET diagram).

• Replace the remaining spindle fasters with p.n. AFB-00059. Retain with nyloc nuts.

• Torque all spindle mounting fasteners to 1,207-1,810 ft-lb.

• Raise rear of scraper and support with stands so rear tires rotate freely.

• Reinstall rear wheels (hubs if removed previously). Retain with lug nuts.

• Lower the scraper to ground.

• Torque lug nuts to 750-900 ft-lb.

• Check air pressure in all tires.

Pushing the Earthmover

Your scraper was designed to be pushed only when equipped with an optional push-

bar. However, Ashland Industries

STRONGLY recommends using extreme caution when

pushing the earthmover, to prevent any unnecessary damage.

CAUTION! Your earthmover must be pushed in a straight line with a maximum 100 HP
