DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION

A walk around inspection should be performed daily on the 992G Wheel

Loader. All pin joints should be checked for loose or damaged
components, proper lubrication, and operation. It is important to identify
a potential problem before the problem becomes a failure.

Note: Refer to SEBU7009, 992G Wheel Loader Operation and

Maintenance Manual, for additional information regarding the daily
walk around inspection for the 992G Wheel Loader.
STMG 992 -8-

The condition of the lubrication delivery system should be checked daily.

The lines, hoses, and injectors should all be inspected. When damaged
components are found, those components should be repaired or replaced
immediately.

Starting at the articulation joint on the left side of the machine, the
inspector should check the condition of the hoses (1) and the injectors (2).

The table above shows the possible progression of front linkage pin joint
problems on the 992G Wheel Loader.

The instructor should emphasize that a small problem such as a damaged

grease line or fitting is a relatively easy and inexpensive problem to repair.
However, if the problem is not addressed immediately, the problem can
progress to a much more costly and difficult repair.

PIN FLAG RETENTION MAINTENANCE

The 992G Wheel Loader linkage design transfers the bucket side loads
through the pin flags (1) at the A and B pins. The surfaces between the
flag, retention plate (2), and the retention block on the bucket are not
lubricated and do wear over time allowing increased motion. The
increased motion will increase the wear rate and if allowed to progress
can cause interference between the frame and boom or the boom and
bucket. The following should be used as a guideline for flag and retainer
maintenance.

1. The nominal design clearance between the pin flag (1) and retention
plate (2) is 2.0 mm axially (pin in-and-out) and 3.0 mm
radially (pin turning).

2. The minimum clearance between the pin flag (1) and the retention
plate (2) should be 0.5 mm axially and radially.

3. When the clearance grows to greater than 6 mm axially or radially the

joint should be rebuilt so the clearance falls between the minimum and
nominal range.
STMG 992 - 18 -
5/03

4. The rebuild can be a combination of replacing the retention plate,

building up the worn area of the retainer block (located behind the
retention plate) with weld, and tack welding shim stock to the retention
plate.

5. Whenever a new pin is installed the clearance between the pin flag
and retention plate should be checked to be sure they fall within the
guidelines listed above.

MEASURE JOINT STACK UP

Before disassembly and after assembly, it is important to measure joint

stack up. Joint stack up is dimension “S” in the pin joint cutaway on the
left. If joint stack up is not within the specification listed in the table
above, corrective action must be taken.

Pin joint life will be significantly reduced if joint stack up is out of

specification.

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES

New Pin = New Bearing

Replace Both the Pin and Bearing When Galling or Metal
Pickup is Present on Either Part
Replace Both the Pin and Bearing when the Pin Diameter
has been Reduced by More Than 3 mm

17

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

The graphic above lists three guidelines for component replacement on

the 992G front linkage.

Always replace the bearing when a new pin is used. The bearing is coated
with a black crystalline material that aids the break-in process between the
pin and bearing.

The pin and the bearing should both be replaced when there is galling or
metal pickup either component.

The pin and the bearing should both be replaced when wear has reduced
the diameter of the pin by 3 mm.

Note: Refer to REHS1501 for more detailed information regarding

component replacement.
STMG 992 - 21 -

992G WHEEL LOADER

BEARING REMOVAL GUIDELINES
Remove approximately 2/3 of the
bearing thickness in four locations

Any Damage to the Bore or Spacer During Bearing

Removal Must be Repaired before Beginning Installation

18

BEARING REMOVAL

The bearings on the 992G Wheel Loader front linkage should be removed
using the method shown above.

Cut the bearing approximately 2/3 through the thickness of the bearing in
four equally spaced locations around the internal circumference. Take
care not to damage the spacer or the bore while cutting the bearing. When
the bearing cools it should shrink enough to allow easy removal.

If the spacer is damaged it must be replaced or repaired. Grease can leak

out of the pin joint with a damaged spacer, causing an early hour failure.
If the bore is damaged it must be repaired with normal, good weld
practices before installing the new bearings.
