Guidelines for acceptable wear
Gear Housings
Wear in excess of .005" cutout necessitates
replacement of the gear housing.
Place a straight-edge across the bore. If you can slip
a .005" feeler gage under the straight-edge in the
cut-out area, replace the gear housing.
Pressure pushes the gears against
the housing on the low pressure side.
As the hubs and bearings wear, the
cutout becomes more pronounced.
Excessive cutout in a short period of
time indicates excessive pressure or
oil contamination. If the relief valve settings are within
prescribed limits, check for shock pressures or
tampering. Withdraw oil sample and check it and
the tank for dirt.
Where cut-out is moderate, .005" or less, the gear
housing is in good condition, and both ports are of the
same size, the housing may be flipped over and reused.
Gears
Any wear on the gear hubs detectable by touch, or in
excess of .002" necessitates replacement. Scoring,
grooving, or burring of the outside
diameter of teeth requires replacement.
Nicking, grooving, or fretting of teeth
surfaces also necessitates replacement.
Drive Shafts
Replace if there is any wear detectable by
touch in the seal areas or at the drive
coupling. .002" wear is the
maximum allowable.
Wear in the shaft seal areas
indicates oil contamination. Wear or damage to
splines, keys or keyways necessitates replacement.
Thrust Plates
The thrust plates seal the gear section at the sides of
the gears. Wear here will allow internal slippage,
meaning the oil will bypass within the pump. The
maximum wear allowable is .002".
Replace the thrust plates if they are
scored, eroded or pitted. Check the
center of the thrust plates where the
gears mesh. Erosion here indicates oil
contamination. Pitted thrust plates
indicate cavitation or oil aeration. Discolored thrust
plates indicate overheating, probably insufficient oil.
Dowel Pins
If either the dowel pin or dowel hole is damaged, the
pin, machined casting, or both, must be replaced.
If more than reasonable force is required
to seat dowels, the cause may be
poorly deburred or dirty parts; cocking
of dowel in the hole or improper pin-to-hole fit.

22) If the unit is equipped
withanoutboardbearing,
guide the bearing into its
recess in the shaft end
cover.This is not a press
fit. Insert the snap ring
into its groove to retain
theoutboard bearing.
21)After the fasteners are
tight and you are sure
there is no internal binding,
torque the diagonally
opposite fasteners to
200 ft. lbs. (2400 in. lbs.).
