Inspecting the AG150/AG250 John Deere transmission components

The Massey Ferguson 8240, 8220, 8280 tractor is equipped of John Deere AG150/AG250 transmission.

Inspecting components

Belleville washers. Check for:

- Cracks
- Wear on contact points

Piston, seals and piston bores. Check for:

- Seal hardening, cracking, nicks, etc.
- Piston seal groove: dents, burs, chipping, etc.
- Piston bores: chipping, dents, burs.

Thrust MF 8240, 8220, 8280 tractor plates and clutch discs. Check for:

- Buckling, heat discoloration, surface and spline wear

Nominal dimensions

- Thrust plates ……… 1.78 mm
- Discs……………… 2.79 mm

When refitting previously used clutch discs and thrust plates, it is the piston travel that determines whether they should be replaced.

Inspection of components

Pinions. Check for: Pitting, flaking, ripples, broken teeth, cracks, bore wear due to bearing creep, spline wear.

Bearings. Check for: Pitting, denting, grooving, cracks in the groove, wear due to creep on internal and external rims.

Circlips and grooves

Check that circlips and grooves are in good condition.

Circlips with rounded and square edges. The square edge must always retain the load.

Shafts. Check for:

- Wear on splines, cracks, surface wear due to creep. Check that seal ring grooves are square edged and without burs, etc. That oil channels are not blocked; that all port and stop plugs are correctly in place; that there is no spline wear or cracking in the clutch housings; that circlip slots are square edged.
