LUBRICATION

B-74.
Water Pump Bearing,
Clutch
Release
Bearing

The
water pump and clutch release bearings are

prelubricated
for life when manufactured and cannot be relubricated.

B-7S.
Starter
Motor
Bearings

The
starting motor bearings are lubricated at assembly to last
between
normal rebuild periods.

B-76.
Alternator Bearings

The
alternator bearings are lubricated at assembly

and
require no further lubrication.

B-77.
Springs

The
vehicle springs should not be lubricated. At assembly the leaves are coated with a long-lasting

special
lubricant which is designed to last the life
of the springs. Spraying with the usual mixture of
oil
and kerosene has a tendency to wash this
lubri­

cant
from
between
the leaves, making it necessary
to relubricate
often
to eliminate squeaking.

B-78.
Shock Absorbers

Hydraulic
direct-action shock absorbers are per­ manently sealed and require no periodic
lubrica­

tion service. Shock absorber mounting bushings
are
not to be lubricated.

B-79.
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
Axle
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
fill
plug opening levels with 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

hours
of operation and
refill
to the
fill
plug opening
levels. Refer to B-35 through B-37 when changing

lubricant.

B-86.
Front and
Rear
Axle
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
engine
oil to clean out the housings (except

Powr-Lok
and
Trac-Lok
differentials). Refer to
Par.
B-52 and B-53 for draining and flushing

differential.

insulator
mountings attached to the frame side

rail
brackets. The
rear
of the engine-transmission
assembly is supported by a rubber insulator
mounting under the
rear
of the transmission on
the frame center cross member.
This
cross member
is bolted to the frame side
rails
so that it can be
dropped when removing the transmission or engine-

transmission
assembly. The rubber insulators allow
free side and vertical oscillation to effectively

neutralize
engine
vibration at the source.

The
rubber
insulator mountings should be inspected
for separation and deterioration by jacking the
power plant away from the frame, near the sup­
ports. Vibration cannot be effectively absorbed by
separated or worn insulators. They should be re­ placed if faulty.

D-6. ENGINE DISASSEMBLY

Engine
disassembly is presented in the sequence to be followed when the
engine
is to be completely
overhauled after removal from the vehicle. Some
of the operations of the procedure are also ap­
plicable
separately with the
engine
in the vehicle,

provided
that wherever necessary the part of the

engine
to be worked on is first made accessible by
removal
of
engine
accessories or other parts.

When
the disassembly operations are performed

with
the
engine
out of the vehicle, it is assumed,
in
this procedure, that all of the accessories have been removed
prior
to starting the disassembly

and
the oil has been drained.
In
addition to the instructions covering operations
for disassembling the
engine
out of the vehicle,

special
instructions are given to cover different
operations required when disassembly is
done
with the
engine
installed.

During
disassembly operations, the
engine
should
be mounted in a suitable
engine
repair
stand. Where

practicable,
modify or adapt an existing repair

stand
as necessary to accommodate the engine. If

an
engine
repair stand is not used, take care to

perform
disassembly operations in a manner that

will
protect personnel against an accident and the
engine
and its parts against damage.

NOTE:
If the
engine
is being disassembled because
of possible valve failure, check the valve tappet
clearance
before disassembly. Improper valve

clearance
could be the possible cause of valve

failure,
indicating a need for more frequent valve
checks and adjustments. 41

The
water cooled system is pressurized to provide efficient
engine
cooling. It consists of a centrifugal-
type water pump, mounted on the timing chain cover, and is driven by the
engine
fan pulley. The
pump provides coolant flow equally to both
cylin­
der banks under control of a thermostat. Coolant
flow is around the cylinders and through the
cylinder
head to dispel the heat of combustion in
the engine.

Dl-3.
Engine Mounts

The
engine-transmission unit is mounted to the chassis at three points by rubber pads. The two
front mounts are bolted to the
engine
cylinder
block and the frame members. These mounts sup­ port most of the

vibra­

tion which would otherwise be caused by changes
in
engine
output torque. The single
rear

split
the gear with a cold chisel. Be careful not to
damage
ring
gear shoulder or seat surfaces of fly­
wheel.

b.
Polish several
spots
on the new
ring
gear to be

installed.
With
a hot plate or slowly moving torch,
heat the new
ring
gear until polished
spots
become

blue, about
600°F.
[312°C.].

Caution:
Do not heat the
ring
gear to a temperature
greater than
800°F.
[424°C.].
Excessive heat
will

destroy heat treatment given to
ring
gear during
manufacture.

c.
Quickly
install
ring
gear on flywheel. Chamfered

edge
of
ring
gear must be toward
ring
gear shoulder
of flywheel. Be certain that
ring
gear is seated prop­

erly.
Allow
ring
gear to cool slowly, so that it
will

be held tightly in place.

Flywheel Housing Cleaning and Inspection

Both
flywheel and clutch are enclosed by a fly­
wheel housing. Its front surface is bolted to the
engine
cylinder block, and its
rear
surface acts as

front
support to the transmission.
Clean
the fly­ wheel housing with a suitable cleaning solvent; dry
with
compressed air. Inspect front and
rear
surfaces
for distortion and improper alignment with each
other;
these
planes must be
parallel
to assure
proper
alignment
between
engine
and transmission.
Dl-55.
Camshaft Cleaning
and
Inspection

Clean
both camshaft and camshaft bearing surfaces

with
a suitable cleaning solvent; dry with com­
pressed air.

Note:
The steel-backed babbitt-lined camshaft
bearings are pressed into the crankcase.
From
front
to
rear,
each bearing is .030" [0,76 mm.] smaller
in
diameter than the preceding bearing.
From
front
to
rear,
each camshaft
journal
is correspondingly
smaller
in diameter.

The
camshaft bearings must be line reamed to

proper
diameter after being pressed into crankcase.
Since
this operation requires special reaming equip­
ment, the original bearings should be retained un­
less
they are severly damaged. Slightly scored cam­
shaft bearings are satisfactory if the surfaces of camshaft journals are polished, bearings are
polished to remove
burrs,
and
radial
clearance

between
camshaft and bearings is within .0015"
to .004" [0,038 a 0,102 mm.].

Valve Lifter
and
Push
Rod
Cleaning and Inspection
a.
Examine the cam contact surface at lower end of each valve lifter body. If surface is excessively

worn,
galled, or otherwise damaged, discard the
valve lifter. Also examine the mating camshaft
lobe
for excessive wear or damage.

b.
Disassemble one or two valve lifters, as de­

scribed
below, and inspect them for
dirt
or
varnish.
If
they are dirty or have a varnish deposit, clean

and
inspect all twelve valve lifters. Otherwise,
service
only
those
valve lifters which do not operate

properly.

c.
To disassemble each valve lifter, depress the
push
rod seat with a push rod, and remove the
plunger retainer from the valve lifter body with

a
retainer remover. Remove push rod seat and
plunger from valve lifter body. If plunger sticks
in
valve lifter body, place body in large end of

a
plunger remover tool, with plunger downward.
While
holding lifter with thumb, rap the open end
of remover against a block of wood with just enough force to jar the plunger from body. Refer to
Figs.
Dl-20, Dl-22 and Dl-23.

d.
Drain
oil from valve lifter and remove the check
valve retainer,
ball,
valve spring, and plunger
spring.

e. Keep all parts of each valve lifter separated

during
part cleaning and inspection. The valve

lifter
body and plunger are selectively fitted to each other and must not be interchanged with parts
of other valve lifters.
f. Rinse all valve lifter parts in kerosene to remove as much oil as possible.
This
will
reduce contamina­
tion of the cleaning solvent. Immerse all parts in cleaning solvent for approximately one hour. The
time required
will
depend on varnish
deposits
and
effectiveness
of the solvent. After the varnish has
dissolved or has
softened
sufficiently to permit re­

moval
by wiping, allow parts to
drain.
Varnish
can
then be cleaned from the valve lifter body
with
a
brush.
Rinse the parts in kerosene to dissolve 90
