(4) Clutch Housing

(5) Discs

(6) Ring Gear

The five transmission clutches are the disc type. Each clutch has discs (5) and plates (3) and each clutch
is located in a separate housing. The inside teeth of discs (5) are engaged with the outside teeth of ring
gear (6).

Notches on the outside diameter of plates (3) are engaged with pins in the clutch housing. The pins keep
the plates from rotation.

In the above example, springs (2) are between clutch housing (4) and piston (1). The springs keep the
clutches disengaged. The clutches are engaged when oil is sent into the area behind piston (1).

When the pressure of the oil in the area behind the piston increases, the piston moves to the right. The
piston moves against the force of spring (2) and the piston pushes the discs and plates together. The
clutch is now engaged. The discs keep ring gear (6) from rotating.

When the clutch is released, the pressure in the area behind piston (1) decreases and the force of spring
(2) moves the piston to the left. The discs and plates are now disengaged. The clutch is not engaged.

Both a speed clutch and a direction clutch must be engaged in order to send power through the
transmission. The combination of clutches that are engaged for each forward speed and for each reverse
speed are listed in the table.

The transmission is fastened to the case at the rear of the machine. Power from the torque divider is sent
to input shaft (14) by a drive shaft. Power flows from the transmission, through output shaft (15), and
then to the transfer gears.

The transmission has five hydraulically activated clutches that give three speeds forward and three
speeds in reverse. Speed and direction are manually selected.

The No. 1 and No. 2 clutches are located at the rear of the transmission. The No. 1 clutch is the reverse
direction clutch. The No. 2 clutch is the forward direction clutch.

The No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 clutches are the speed clutches. The No. 3 clutch gives Third Speed. The
No. 4 clutch gives Second Speed and the No. 5 clutch gives First Speed.

The No. 5 clutch is the only clutch that turns.

When the transmission is in neutral, No. 3 clutch (6) is engaged. The No. 3 clutch holds ring gear (7)
stationary. Ring gear (7) is connected to No. 2 and No. 3 carrier (3) .

Because only No. 3 clutch (6) is engaged, input shaft (14) turns but output shaft (15) stays stationary.

engaged No. 5 clutch. Power flows from carrier (12) to planetary gears (16), to ring gear (9), to the No.
5 clutch and through hub (11) to output shaft (15) .

As a result, torque to output shaft (15) is divided through No. 3 sun gear (17), No. 4 sun gear (13), and
hub (11). From the output shaft, power flows through the transfer and bevel gears to the steering
differential.

Second Speed Forward

(20). No. 2 sun gear turns No. 2 planetary gears (19) .

As ring gear (5) is held stationary by the No. 2 clutch, planetary gears (19) move around the inside of the
ring gear. The movement of the planetary gears (19) causes No. 2 and No. 3 carrier (3) to turn in the
same direction as input shaft (14) .

As the No. 2 and No. 3 carrier turns, No. 3 planetary gears (18) turn. The No. 3 planetary gears turn ring

ring gear. The movement of planetary gears (16) causes No. 4 sun gear (13) to turn. The No. 4 sun gear
turns output shaft (15) .

As a result, torque to output shaft (15) is divided through No. 3 sun gear (17) and No. 4 sun gear (13).
From the output shaft, power flows through the transfer and bevel gears to the steering differential.

Third Speed Forward

When the transmission is in Third Speed Forward, No. 3 clutch (6) and No. 2 clutch (4) are engaged.

The No. 2 clutch holds ring gear (5) for the No. 2 clutch stationary.

ring gear.

The movement of planetary gears (19) causes No. 2 and No. 3 carrier (3) to turn in the same direction as
input shaft (14) .

Ring gear (7) is held stationary by the No. 3 clutch. The movement of No. 2 and No. 3 carrier (3) causes
No. 3 planetary gears (18) to move around the inside of the ring gear.

The oil for lubrication of the transmission comes from the oil cooler.

Oil from the cooler flows through tube assembly (28) to manifold (29). Oil from manifold (29) flows
through passage (26) to cavity (30) and the drilled passages in input shaft (14) .

Cavity (30) sends oil to cavity (25). Drilled passages in No. 1 carrier (24) and No. 2 and No. 3 carrier (3)
send oil to the direction clutches and the No. 3 clutch.

Oil is metered through drilled passages in the forward ring gear and in the reverse ring gear. Then, the
oil flows to the direction clutches.

Oil through the drilled passages in input shaft (14) flows to the space between the input shaft and the
output shaft. The oil lubricates bearings at both ends of the output shaft. The oil also flows through
drilled passages in the output shaft to cavity (27) and hub (11) .

Planetary bearings and thrust discs get oil from cavities (30) and (27) through the drilled passages in the
planetary shafts.

Drilled passages in hub (11) and the ring gear for No. 4 clutch send oil to the No. 5 and No. 4 clutches
for lubrication.

The remainder of the components in the transmission get lubrication from oil released at points of
pressure.

Lubrication oil through the clutches drains to the bottom of the transmission case.
