drain
the old fluid by first removing the fill-hole plug
and
then removing the drainhole plug. Since on
some
transmissions there are drilled passages be tween the transmission and transfer case that allow
oil
to circulate
between
the two units, the transfer
case should be drained before refilling the trans
mission.

Front
Axle Wheel Bearings
To
lubricate the wheel bearings, it is necessary
to remove, clean, repack, and adjust them. When
front wheel hubs and bearings are removed for
lubrication,
they should be thoroughly washed in a
suitable cleaning solvent. The bearings should be
carefully
dried and then given a thorough cleaning
and
inspection. Use a clean brush to remove all
particles
of old lubricant from bearings and hubs.
After
the bearings are cleaned, inspect them for
pitted races and rollers. Also, check the hub oil
seals.
Note:
Wheel bearing lithium base lubricants are
used at the factory for
initial
fill
of
these
bearings.
When
lithium base and sodium base lubricants are
mixed,
the result is a thinned-out mixture that
can
bleed through seals. It is therefore important
that lubricants with the correct base be used when
lubricating
the wheel bearings.
Should
leaks occur at wheel bearing seals, the leaks
may
be caused by a mixture of two
types
of
lubri
cants.
In such cases, the old lubricant should be
completely removed before new lubricant is added.
Wheel
bearings should be thoroughly cleaned,
lubricated
with lithium base and reinstalled.
Repack
the bearing
cones
and rollers with grease
and
reassemble hub in the reverse order of the
disassembly. Test the bearing adjustment as out
lined
in Section Q.
B-57.
Rear
Axle Wheel Bearings
The
Rear
wheel bearings an early models equipped
with
lubrication fittings with a vent opening
through the housings above each fitting should be
lubricated
sparingly, each
2,000
miles
[3.200
km.].
Use
a hand compressor and wheel bearing grease,
forcing
the grease through each lubrication fitting
until
it flows from the vent. Vent should be kept
clear
of obstruction or grease
will
back up into the

LUBRICATION
REQUIREMENTS
FOR
OFF-HIGHWAY
OPERATION
Adequate lubrication
becomes
increasingly im portant when vehicles are used in off-highway
operation. Under
these
conditions all operating
parts
of both the
engine
and chassis are subjected
to unusual pressures. At the same time such operation is usually under abnormal dust and
dirt
conditions making additional precautions neces
sary.
The importance of correct lubrication for
the conditions of operation cannot be overestimated.
B-80.
Engine
Oil
It
is important, that the oil in a new or rebuilt
engine
be changed after the first
eight
or ten hours
of operation, and for heavy, dusty work, every 50
hours
thereafter. Watch the condition of the oil closely and change it immediately if it appears to
be contaminated.
i-Il.
Engine
Oil
Filter
Replace
the oil filter at the end of the first 100
hours
of service. Under extreme operating con ditions, more frequent replacement may be re
quired.
The condition of the oil is a reliable
indicator
of the condition of the filter element.
If
the oil
becomes
discolored and shows evidence
of contamination, change the filter without delay.
(Refer
to
Par.
B-10, B-ll for the correct procedure
for replacing the oil filter.)
B-82.
Air Cleaner
Care
of the air cleaner is extremely vital to the life of the engine. Pay particular attention to the
amount of dust and
dirt
in the air taken into the
engine
through the air cleaner. When dust is not
noticeable in the air, service the air cleaner each scheduled maintenance period. Whenever the air is
noticeably dusty (for example when the vehicle is
driven
on secondary roads or through fields) then
service the air cleaner more frequently. Under extreme continually dusty and dirty conditions
where the vehicle operates in clouds of dust and
dirt,
service the air cleaner daily. (Refer to Par.
B-24
thru
B-26 for service procedures.)
B-83.
Chassis
Lubrication
The
period of lubrication depends entirely upon the type of work being done. Using the specified
interval
given in the Service Maintenance Schedule as a guide, lubricate at safe intervals required for
the particular type of operation. Under extremely
dusty conditions lubricate
these
points daily. Be
sure
to force enough lubricant into each fitting to force out the old lubricant which might be con
taminated with grit and which would cause
rapid
wear
if allowed to remain.
Do not place lubricant on the various
ball
and socket joints or pivot points of the lift linkage as
dirt
will
accumulate to form an abrasive mix
ture.
It is
best
to simply wipe
these
parts clean
with
a cloth.
B-84.
Front

Shaft Universal Joints
For
off-highway use remove the universal joints twice yearly, thoroughly clean both the housings
and
joints with a suitable solvent, and
refill
the
housings to the

correct
lubricant as given in the
Lubrication
Specifications.
B-85.
Transmission and Transfer
Case
The
combined capacity of the two housings is
small
for economy, making it important that the
lubricant
be changed at regular intervals. For off-highway use
drain
both housings every 300

of operation and
refill
to the
fill

Differentials
Because of the higher pressure developed in the
axle assemblies with heavy duty operation,
drain,
flush,
and
refill
the differential assemblies each 300 hours of operation. Use only flushing oil or light

Connecting Rod Bearings
The
connecting rod bearings, like the crankshaft
main
bearings, are of the replaceable type. When
correctly
installed, the bearings provide proper
clearance
without filing, boring, scraping, or
shimming.
Main
bearings with maximum wearing surfaces
are
obtained through the use of
offset
connecting
rods.
When the rods are installed, the
offset
"A"
in
Fig. D-l7 is placed away from the nearest main
bearing
"B".
The
oil spray
hole
should be on the "follow" side
or
away from the camshaft, toward the right side
of the vehicle. Because of the
offset
and oil spray
hole, No. 1 and 2 or No. 3 and 4 connecting rods cannot be interchanged for if they are reversed,
the oil spray
hole
will
be on the wrong side. No. 1
and
3 or No. 2 and 4 can be interchanged.
Connecting
rod bearings should be replaced as a complete set.
Each
bearing consists of two halves.
Connecting
rod bearing
sets
are available in stand
ard
size and the following undersize:
.001" [0,025 mm.] .012" [0,305 mm.]
.002"
[0,051
mm.] .020" [0,508 mm.] .010"
[0,254
mm.] .030" [0,762 mm.]
The
.001" and .002" undersize bearings are for use
with
standard size crankshafts having slightly
worn
crankpins that do not require grinding. The .012" undersize bearings are for use with slightly
worn
crankshafts that have been previously ground for .010" undersize bearings.
Should
it be necessary to replace the bearings due to wear, replacement of piston rings and piston
pins is also recommended.
NOTE:
Should it be necessary to replace a scored
or
burned No. 1 connecting rod bearing, see Par. D-92 regarding timing gear oil jet.
D-48.
Connecting Rod Bearing Inspection
The
bearing fits may be roughly checked by shaking the connecting rod by hand,
prior
to removal of
the bearing cap, to determine if it is
loose
on the
crankshaft.
The crankpins must be carefully in
spected as detailed previously in Par. D-41.
Worn
crankpins
will
require undersize bearings. Scored,
flaked,
or
worn bearings must be replaced.
D-49.
Installing Connecting Rod Bearings
New bearings must be installed so that the oil
spray
hole
in the upper bearing
half
aligns with
the oil spray
hole
in the connecting rod.
Each
bearing
cap must be installed to seat evenly on the connecting rod from which it was removed, and in
the same position. After wiping and carefully in specting the bearing bore in the connecting rod,
install
the proper bearing. Never file either the
bearing
cap or the bearing to compensate for too
much
clearance. Do not use shims under a bearing
cap or behind a bearing shell. Do not run a new
bearing
half
with a worn half.
The
desired running fit (difference
between
the diameter of the
crankpin
and the inside diameter
of the fitted bearing) for a connecting rod bearing
is .0003" to .0025"
[0,0076
a
0,0635
mm.].

satisfactory bearing replacement cannot be made
and
it
will
be necessary to regrind the crankshaft.
Install
the bearing lower
half
and the connecting
rod
cap and draw the cap bolt nuts down equally
and
only slightly tight. Move the connecting rod
endwise, one way or the other, on the crankshaft to be sure the bearing is not tight.
Pull
the nuts tighter, first one then the other, a little at a time,
and
keep trying the fit of the rod on the crankshaft by hand until the recommended torque of 35 to 45 lb-ft. [4,8 a 6,2 kg-m.] is reached. If the
bearings are of the correct size, and have been
properly
lubricated with light
engine
oil before in
stallation,
the connecting rod should be easy to
slide back and forth parallel to the
crankpin.
If
the connecting rod is tight on the crankshaft, a
larger
bearing is required. If there is no binding
or
tightness, it is
still
necessary to check clearance
to guard against too
loose
a fit. The use of "Plasti
gage"
or shim stock of the proper size to measure .001" [0,025 mm.] clearance is recommended for
checking
connecting rod bearing clearances.
This
is the same material recommended for checking
crankshaft
main bearings and the method of check
ing is
similar.
Refer to
Par.
D-45 or D-46. Connect
ing rod bearings are fitted to the same clearance as the main bearings but the torque specified for con
necting rod cap
bolts
is different.

ing surfaces are precision machined in the cylinder
block. The camshaft bearings are pressure
lubri
cated through drilled passages in the crankcase.
End
thrust of the camshaft is taken by a thrust plate bolted to the crankcase. The camshaft is
driven
by a silent helical-cut
tooth
timing gear at
the front of the engine. A worm gear, integral with
the camshaft, drives the oil pump and distributor.
The
fuel pump is actuated by an eccentric forged
onto
the camshaft.
Clean
the camshaft thoroughly in cleaning solvent.
Inspect
all camshaft bearing surfaces to determine
if
they are scored or rough. The cam faces must be
perfectly smooth throughout their contact face
and
must not be scored or worn.
D-52.
Camshaft
Front Bearing Replacement
Use
a suitable driver to remove the camshaft front
bearing
from the cylinder block. To install a new
bearing,
align the oil
hole
in the bearing with the
bored oil
hole
in the cylinder block and drive the
bearing
in until the front end of the bearing is
flush
with the front surface of the cylinder block.
Make
sure the oil
hole
is open and clear. It is not
necessary to line-ream the bearing after installation because bearings for replacement are precision
reamed
to the finished size. Do not stake the
bearing.
D-53-
Camshaft End Play
End
play of the camshaft is determined by running
clearance
between
the
rear
face of the camshaft gear and the thrust plate and is established by the
spacer
thickness. The standard clearance is .004"
to .007"
[0,101
a 0,178 mm.] and can be measured by a
dial
indicator. As a general rule this clearance
will
change but little through wear or when a new gear is installed. To predetermine the correct end
float with the gear, spacer, and thrust plate re
moved, measure the thickness of both the thrust
plate and spacer with a micrometer. The thickness
of the spacer should be approximately .006" [0,152 mm.] greater than that of the thrust plate.
When
this is correct and the parts are assembled
and
drawn tightly
together
by the gear retaining
screw,
the end play should
come
within standard
limits.
D-54.
Timing Gears
and
Cover
The
timing gears are mounted at the front of the
engine. Camshaft drive is through helical-cut
timing gears; a steel gear on the crankshaft and a
pressed fiber gear on the camshaft. The gears are keyed to their respective shafts. The camshaft
driven
gear is secured on the front end of the
camshaft by means of a capscrew and a plain
washer.
The crankshaft gear is secured on the
front end of the crankshaft by a nut threaded
onto
the front end of the crankshaft holding the
crank
shaft pulley, crankshaft oil slinger, and the
crank
shaft drive gear spacer. The timing gears are
lubricated
through a jet threaded into the
crank
case directly above the gear contact and oil supplied
through a drilled passage from the front main
bearing.
The timing gears are enclosed by the
sealed timing cover. The oil seal in the cover bears 53

the bearings and crankpin journals. While turning
crankshaft,
it is necessary to temporarily reconnect
the rods to crankshaft to avoid possibility of dam aging the journals through contact with uncon
nected rods.
Inspect the crankpins visually for excessive or ir
regular
wear, and for scoring. Use an
outside
micrometer to check crankpins for out-of-round.

Crankshaft
Main
Bearings
A
crankshaft bearing consists of two halves which
are
neither alike nor interchangeable. One half is
carried
in the corresponding main bearing cap; the
other half is located
between
the crankshaft and
cylinder
block. The upper (cylinder block) half
of the bearing is grooved to supply oil to the con necting rod bearings, while the lower (bearing cap)
half
of the bearing is not grooved. The two bearing
halves must not be interchanged. All crankshaft
bearings
except
the thrust bearing and the
rear
main
bearing are identical. The thrust bearing (No. 2) is longer and it is flanged to take
crank
shaft end thrust. When the bearing halves are
placed in cylinder block and bearing cap, the
ends
extend slightly beyond the parting surfaces. When
cap
bolts
are tightened, the halves are clamped
tightly in place to ensure positive seating and to
prevent turning. The
ends
of bearing halves must never be filed flush with parting surface of
crank
case or bearing cap.
Crankshaft
bearings are the precision type which
do not require reaming to size or other fitting.
Shims
are not provided for adjustment since worn
bearings are readily replaced with new bearings of proper size. Bearings for service replacement are
furnished
in standard size and undersizes. Under no circumstances should crankshaft bearing caps
be filed to adjust for wear in old bearings.

before installation.
This
can be
done
by either of two methods, which are described in

for reground journals. If a new bearing is to be installed, try a standard size; then try each under
size in turn until one is found that
meets
the
