Component Code 4050SUBJECT: The Final Drive Wheel Bearing Retainer Plate 108-0059 On The Machines Listed Above May Need To Be Replaced.
PROBLEM 1:
Certain final drive bearing kits for the above machines contain thrust washers? 163-4526 or 185-3653. If the thrust washer is installed without replacing the original 108-0059 retainer plate with the current 163-4527 retainer plate on the above machines the axle shaft will interfere with the final drive cover thrust plate causing a low hour failure.
PROBLEM 2:
The final drive sun gears may wear into the original 108-0059 wheel bearing retainer plate on the above machines. This contact will cause high iron levels in oil SOS readings. Failure to correct this problem may result in a final drive failure.
SOLUTION:
Whenever servicing the axles of the machines listed above check to see if the final drives still have the original 108-0059 retainer plates. If they do, replace the retainer plate in all four final drives following the instructions below.
Note: Please route this TIB to all personnel in your power train rebuild shops.
