3.5. OVER-CENTER DRIVE ASSEMBLY—ROUND AXLES
1. Ensure shims fit on round axle.
On some augers, shims are
welded to hub; this can be
checked by lining up with the tire
rim. Shims are normally sized
and supplied by the factory for
individual augers.
2. Weld fitted shims to each axle
cap (Figure 3.4).
3. Bolt axle cap axle near wheels,
but do not tighten bolts. Use
level to ensure axle caps are
straight and flush.
4. Bolt the drive assembly on the
axle caps. Adjust position until
pinion gear is flush with ring gear
(Figure 3.5).
5. Weld shims to axle, and weld
axle hubs solid.
6. Reassemble the tires. Bolt on
the drive clamp with the handle
down when the gear is disengaged.
