Inspection of Case IH 1494, 1594 Tractor transmission parts

Clean and inspect all parts. Examine bearings and bushings for wear or damage. If renewing a bearing, renew its respective mating cup. Gear teeth should be evenly marked along length of teeth. If gear teeth have been shaved or show irregular wear pattern, gear should be renewed along with its mating gear.

If shifting into second or third has been difficult, examine synchronizer friction surfaces and the synchronizer pads (38 and 55).

Slight radial clearance (looseness) in synchronizer is normal and the pads should slide easily into their grooves without binding. No attempt should be made to disassemble synchronizer assembly as individual service parts are not available.

Fig.11

If jumping out of gear has been a problem and gears appear good, examine fit of detent balls in grooves of shifter rails. Shift rail grooves should have straight 60 degree sides and balls must be smooth with no pits, rust or flat spots.

If necessary, grind bottom of groove, taking care not to damage sides, until detent ball has sufficient
clearance at bottom of groove. Check detent spring length which should be 31.75 mm (1.250 inches).

Examine all thrust washers and spacers for excessive wear or damage and renew as necessary. If pinion shaft, end housings, center housing, or pinion shaft bearings are renewed, pinion shaft protrusion must be set before Case IH 1494, 1594 Tractor transmission reassembly.

Pinion shaft assembly

With pinion shaft (59), bearing (58) and correct thickness of shims (44) in position, install retainer plate (57) and tighten retaining bolts to 40 N-m (30 ft.-lbs.) torque.

Install first/reverse gear (56) with shift fork groove toward retainer plate (57). Install split rings (43) and spacer (42). Apply grease to the six bearing pads (55) and install pads in splines of pinion shaft (59).

Install:

- second gear (41) on pinion shaft and bearing pads with gear side toward retainer plate (57).

- rear synchronizer gear (not shown) with slotted side against second gear (41).

- snap ring (39) and front synchronizer gear (53) with slotted side of gear away from snap ring (39). Make certain front and rear synchronizer splines (teeth) are aligned. Place shift fork in groove on synchronizer, then install synchronizer and shift fork together making certain shift fork slides easily on spacer bar. Apply grease to the six bearing pads (38) and install in splines of pinion shaft (59).

- third gear (52) on pinion shaft and bearing pads with gear side towards threaded end of pinion shaft.

- splined washer (51) and spacer (37). Do Not install shims (36) or spacer (35) at this time. Place first/reverse gear shift fork in groove of first/reverse gear (56).

Rear input shaft assembly

Press bushing (10) into rear input shaft (17). Press bushing (19) into reverse idler gear (20).

Install:

- snap ring (16) in groove of rear input shaft at bushing carrier(18)end.

- front housing (49) and tighten spacer bar nuts to 95 N-m (70 ft.-lbs.) torque. Mount dial indicator on front housing so probe touches end of rear input shaft. Move shaft up and down and measure end play. Correct end play is 0.05-0,43 mm (0.002-0.017 inch). Remove front housing and the rear input shaft assembly. Assemble and install shims (24) as necessary in rear housing bearing bore to obtain correct end play. Reinstall rear input shaft assembly.

Countershaft assembly

Install:

- bearing cup in rear housing without shims (71). Position countershaft in rear end housing.

- front housing and tighten spacer bar nuts to 95 N-m (70 ft.-lbs.) torque.

Mount a dial indicator on rear housing so probe contacts face of rear gear of countershaft. Move shaft up and down and measure end play. Specified end play is 0.05-0.10 mm (0.002-0.004 inch). Remove front end housing, countershaft and rear bearing cup.

- shims (71) as necessary to provide desired end play, then reinstall bearing cup and countershaft.

- first/reverse and second/ third shift rail assemblies.

- shoulder washer (35) with flat side against shims.

- bearing cone, washer and nut on pinion shaft and tighten nut to 270 N-m (200 ft.-lbs.) torque.

Position a dial indicator on front housing so probe contacts end of pinion shaft. Move pinion shaft up and down and measure end play.

Remove nut and bearing, then reduce shim thickness as necessary to provide zero end play to 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) preload. Reassemble using a new nut and tighten nut to 270 N-m (200 ft.-lbs.) torque.
