Massey Ferguson 5610, 5613 gearbox - Dyna-4 Construction

MF 5400-5600 Series Tractors Repair Operations

The housing of the Massey Ferguson 5610, 5613 Dyna-4 transmission (GBA25 gearbox) consists of the following main components, in the order given:

- (1) the Powershift module, providing four ratios for shifting under load (A, B, C and D)
- (2) the Power Shuttle
- (3) the main gearbox comprising four robotically controlled mechanical ratios
- (4) the creeper or super creeper gearbox (if fitted).

Powershift module

This module provides four ratios for shifting under load (A, B, C and D).

The Powershift module comprises two epicyclic gear trains, two brakes and two multidisc clutches.

The brakes are controlled hydraulically by two proportional solenoid valves with an ON/OFF control, and the clutches are engaged by Belleville washers and disengaged by plates connected to the brakes located in the same module.

Power Shuttle

The Power Shuttle is fitted in the centre of the unit. It links the ratios for shifting under load and the gearbox.

The Power Shuttle comprises two multidisc wet clutches controlled by two proportional solenoid valves with PWM control.

A mainshaft ensures reverse position.

Robotic gearbox

The MF 5610, 5613 gearbox has four ranges.

The ratios are selected by two hydraulically-controlled synchronisers.

Gearbox input drive is supplied by the Powershift module.

The four gearbox ranges are automated, so all ratios can be engaged or disengaged automatically by the tractor electronic management system.

Creeper and super-creeper unit

A unit fitted on the secondary shaft, to the rear of the gearbox, provides very slow travel speeds.

This unit comprises one or two final drives providing a reduction of 4/1 (creeper speeds) or 14/1 (super creeper speeds).

These ratios are engaged mechanically.

Lubrication

Lubrication is provided by the tractor hydraulic circuit.

Oil arrives at two points located on the left-hand side of the gearbox housing.

Oil flows to the bearings and clutches to be lubricated via internal channels in the gearbox shafts.

The Massey Ferguson 5610, 5613 Dyna-4 transmission provides four basic synchronised ratios and four ratios for shifting under load. The 16 ratios can be engaged in forward and reverse position without using the clutch pedal.

The unit housing consists of two sections:

- front housing: fitted just behind the engine, it supports the shifting under load section of the transmission (Powershift module) and the Power Shuttle.

- rear housing: fitted just behind the front housing, it supports the main gearbox and the robotically controlled section of the gearbox.

Construction of the main gearbox

The MF 5613, 5610 tractor gearbox is completely crossed by the PTO shaft (31) which links the engine flywheel to the PTO clutch in the rear axle. This shaft turns at the centre of a series of shafts forming the upper shaftline.

In the rear housing (1), a vertical compartment (2) supports the front bearings (5)(6) and (38)(39) of the primary (4) and secondary (32) units. It also contains the lubricating channels. The housings are bolted together and act as an oil tank for the tractor hydraulic circuit.

The main gearbox comprises four synchronised ratios with two synchronisers (15) and (54). Four gear trains are distributed on the two shafts (4) and (32). Each ratio is obtained by engaging only one synchronizer at a time.

The first ratio uses three gear trains, while the three other ratios each use one gear train. The primary shaft (4) is supported by two taper roller bearings (5)(6) and (27)(28).

Adjustment is ensured by shims fitted under the bearing cup (5). The secondary shaft (32) is also supported by two taper roller bearings (38)(39) and (34)(33). Adjustment is ensured by shims (43) fitted under the bearing cup (38).

Primary shaft

On the primary shaft (4), the 1st and 3rd ratio pinions are integral and form a double pinion (7) that turns idle on the shaft.

This assembly is supported by two taper roller bearings (11)(12) and (13)(14) fitted in an X shape, and two needle bearings (20) and (21).

The position of the bearings (11)(12) and (13)(14) is adjusted by shims (10). The 2nd ratio pinion is machined in the primary shaft (4), and the 4th ratio pinion (26) turns idle and is supported by a lubricated ring (25).

Secondary shaft

On the secondary shaft, the 2nd ratio pinion turns idle. It is supported by two taper roller bearings (48) (49) and (50)(51) fitted in an X shape, and a needle bearing (55). The bearings (48)(49) and (50)(51) are adjusted by shims (47).

The 2nd ratio pinion (52) acts as a rotating pin for the 1st ratio pinion (53), which turns without a bearing. The friction surface is lubricated by internal channels.

The double cone synchroniser (54) is fitted on the 2nd ratio pinion and is meshed with the pinion (53) or (37). The 3rd (37) and 4th (35) ratio pinions are meshed by the splines on the secondary shaft (32).

Construction of the Powershift module

The Powershift module on the Massey Ferguson 5613, 5610 Dyna-4 transmission is located behind the engine flywheel.

Each module is fitted in a cast-iron housing screwed into the gearbox housing.

It includes two epicyclic gear trains with three planetary gears.

Front epicyclic gear train

The front epicyclic gear train functions with the clutch (M) and the brake (L). The primary shaft (62) is linked to the planet carrier (68).

It links the PTO shaft and engine flywheel. The clutch discs (59) are splined to the primary shaft (62). The thrust plates of the clutch (59) are integral with the clutch cover (60) and sun gear (72).

The brake discs (58) are connected to the clutch bell housing (60) and the sun gear (72) via the cover (67). The front epicyclic gear train ring gear (70) drives the rear epicyclic gear train ring gear (81) via the ring-gear carrier (71).

Rear epicyclic gear train

The rear epicyclic gear train functions with the clutch (O) and the brake (N). The clutch discs (107) are splined to the output shaft (109) and the planet-carrier (80).

The thrust plates of the clutch (107) are integral with the clutch bell housing (111) and sun gear (84). The sun gear is held to the clutch bell housing (86) by the snap ring (85).

The brake discs (105) are connected to the clutch bell housing (111) and sun gear (84). Drive enters via the ring gear (81), driven by the front epicyclic gear train ring gear (70). Drive exits via the planet-carrier (80) towards the Power Shuttle.

Reverse position

The reverse position is ensured by a mainshaft comprised of a shaft (114) and two pinions (113) and (115).

It transmits drive from the Power Shuttle (112) to the 2nd ratio pinion (52) on the secondary shaft (32) of the main unit.

The pinions (113) and (115) are linked to the shaft by splines. The pinion (115) is fitted on bearings (116)(118) and (117)(119) with preload shimming at the bearing cup (116).

Clutch and brake operation

The clutches/brakes that select the Powershift module ratios are each controlled by a piston (P). When a brake is engaged, the related clutch is disengaged, and vice versa.

The control pistons (P) act both on the brake discs (F) and on an intermediate plate (I). When the piston (P) is pressurised, the plate (I) pushes back the Belleville washer(s) (B) of the clutch (E).
