3.3 DRIVE HUB
PART NO. 2780236
The final drive consists of two planetary stages with an
integrated disconnect mechanism. Each stage incorpo-
rates a set of matched planetary gears, which provide an
equal load distribution. All torque transmitting compo-
nents are made of forged quenched and tempered high-
alloy steels. External gears are carbonized. Precision
roller bearings support the sprocket or wheel loads. A
shaft seal protects the unit against contamination.
Disassembly
1. Position drive so that one of the fill holes is at the
bottom of the end cover and drain the oil.
2. Remove all bolts holding the motor and Remove
motor from drive.
3. Compress the disc (59) using a simple fixture or
other suitable device.
4. Remove snap ring (66) and release pressure on disc
until loose. Remove tool and disc.
5. Remove the spring (55) from the input shaft (44).
6. Turn unit so that cover (8) is in the up position.
7. Remove the screw plugs (22) and seal rings (21).
8. Remove snap rings (34), and remove the cover unit
(8) from drive.
9. Remove o-ring (33).
10. Remove the first stage planetary assembly (7).
11. Remove hex bolts (23).
12. Remove ring gear (30) and o-ring (19).
13. Remove snap rings (15).
14. Pull off planet gears (1) together with cylindrical
roller bearings (11) from spindle (60).
NOTE: Further disassembly of the hub is discouraged. rein-
stallation of the shaft nut (4) requires a special tool
and a torque of 626 ft. lbs. (876 Nm) for proper reas-
sembly. These components Will Fail if not properly
reassembled.
15. Inspect the planetary stage assemblies as complete
units. Thoroughly clean and check both the gearing
and the bearings for damage and apply new oil. If
the gears or bearings need replacing, they must be
replaced as complete sets.
16. The first stage planetary gears (2) must be changed
in sets of three pieces.
17. The first stage planetary gears (2) must be changed
as a complete set of three and JLG recommends
changing the sun gear shaft (43) along with this set
of planets.
18. The second stage planetary bearings (11) must be
replaced in sets of four pieces.
19. The second stage planetary gears (1) must be
changed as a complete set of four and JLG recom-
mends changing the sun gear (3) along with this set
of planets.
