Planetary Drive End Play (OPH−2 series planetary drives)
A front planetary wheel drive assembly that is properly
operating should have no endplay. Any endplay in a
planetary assembly indicates that there are potential
problems with the planetary. Check planetary endplay at
intervals specified in your Operator’s Manual.
Endplay Checking Procedure
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
When changing attachments, tires or perform-
ing other service, use correct jacks, hoists and
jack stands to raise and support machine. See
Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety for
additional information and precautions.
2. Chock rear wheels, raise front of machine, and sup-
port machine with appropriate jack stands (see Jacking
Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety).
3. Grasp front wheel and check for endplay in the plan-
etary assembly as indicated by axial wheel movement.
Make sure that there is no endplay in assembly.
4. If any endplay is detected, the planetary should be
disassembled, inspected and serviced as necessary
(see Planetary Wheel Drive Assembly in the Service
and Repairs section of this chapter).
5. After planetary endplay checking is completed,
lower machine to ground.
