MF 6465/6480 Tractor PTO driving pinions and Layshaft
On MF 6480, 6465 Tractor the layshaft, clutch, bearings and
driving pinion form the upper shaft line of the rear power take-off PTO.
The upper shaft line passes through the intermediate and centre housings
to then transmit the engine speed to the driving pinions located in the
rear housing.
The layshaft is supported at the front by a bearing block mounted on two
ball bearings housed in the bore of the intermediate housing and at the
rear by the clutch assembly (15) in which the driving pinions are
integral via splines.
Fig.40. Parts list
(1) Circlip, (2) Bearing cone, (3) Bearing cup, (4) Cover, (5) Shims,
(6) Unit housing, (7) Bearing cone, (8) Bearing cup, (9) Driving pinion,
(10) Spacer, (11) Driving, pinion(s), (12) Circlip, (27) Bolt, (28)
Layshaft
On unit (23), the cups (3) (8) are free mounted in their respective
bores. The bearing cone (7) is mounted free on the splined part of the
clutch.
Depending on the type of power take-off, the
bearing cone (2) is force fitted on:
- the clutch unit (15)
- the pinion (9)
- the spacer (10)
Identification of the assemblies corresponding
to the types of power take-off PTO available
"a" : removable shaft
"b" : jaw coupler
"c" : 1000 rpm
Uncouple the power take-off PTO housing from
the centre housing to carry out maintenance on the following components:
- driving pinion(s)
- unit housing (6)
- cover (4)
- bearings (2) (3) and (7) (8)
Removing and installing the driving
pinion, bearings and layshaft
Special points (Fig.40)
- If the layshaft (28) mounted on tractors fitted with Powershift
transmission has to be replaced, it is absolutely necessary to remove
the left-hand side hydraulic cover to gain access to circlip (1), since
this will not pass through the hole provided in the wall of the
intermediate housing. Before removing the shaft, visually note its
profile in order to later pass the crownwheel of the bevel gear through.
- On Massey Ferguson 6480, 6465 Tractor fitted with Heavy
Duty transmission, the layshaft does not has a circlip (1).
Removal
Remove and separate the clutch (15) and unit (23) assembly.
Assembly PTO type "a" (Fig.41-42)
Extract bearing cone (2) from the clutch unit and remove it. Take off
bolts (27), cover (4) and shim(s) (5).
Take out the driving pinion (11) from unit (6).
Disassemble the cups (3) (8) (as required).
Assembly PTO type "b" (Fig41-43)
Remove pinion (9) and bearing cone (2). Take out cup (3) from the cover
(4).
Remove the cover and shim(s) (5).
Take out cup (8) from unit (6). Extract cone (2) (as required).
Assembly Massey Fergusson 6465,
6480 Tractor PTO type "c" (Fig.41)
- On this type of assembly, the method is similar to that used for
assembly "b" type.
Refitting
- If maintenance has been carried out on one of the components stated at
the beginning of this section, it is important to carry out shimming of
the bearings (2) (3) and (7) (8).
Assembly PTO "a"
If disassembled, place cups (3) and (8) in cover (4) and unit (6)
respectively.
Install the driving pinion (11), the shim(s) (5) (if adjustment is not
necessary), the cover (4) and the bolts (27) on unit (6).
Using a press and an appropriate fixture, insert bearing cone (2) into
the clutch housing.
Assembly PTO "b"
If disassembled, place cups (3) and (8) in cover (4) and unit (6)
respectively.
Position pinion (11) in unit (6), the long offset "D" turned to face
cover (4) (Fig.1-4).
Install the shim(s) (5) (if adjustment is not necessary), the cover (4)
and bolts (27) on unit (6).
Using a press and an appropriate fixture, insert bearing cone (2) in
pinion (9).
Assembly PTO "c"
- In this type of assembly, assemble the components using the assembly
principle used in the “b” type assembly.
Reassemble and refit clutch (15) and unit (23) assembly.
Shimming
Assemble MF 6480, 6465 Tractor clutch (15) with unit (23).
Fasten the cover (4) and the unit housing (6) with four bolts (27) and
nuts (14) that should be supplied locally (Figs. 44-45). Hold the
assembly (23) in a vice fitted with soft jaws (Fig. 44).
Place the index of a dial gauge on the end of the sleeve (10).
Pull hard on the clutch unit while turning it alternatively left and
right in order to correctly seat the cones in the cups.
Reset the dial gauge to zero.
Pull hard on the clutch unit while turning it alternatively left and
right in order to correctly seat the cones in the cups, but this time by
pushing.
According to the provisional clearance measured on the dial gauge,
determine a new thickness of shim(s) (5) to obtain a definitive
clearance (Fig.45): J1 = 0 to 0.10 mm.
