PROBLEM

Show/hide table
The existing upper swing frame pin can fail due to excessive wear because of the lack of lubrication between the pin and the swing frame bearing on certain 420E and 430E Backhoe Loaders. If the pin plugs and fails to allow proper lubrication, the pin can prematurely wear.

Rework Procedure


 
1) Stretch out the boom and stick to place the rear bucket on the ground.
 
2) Lower the rear stabilizers to the ground.
 
3) Install the swing frame lock pin. This will keep the bores of the swing frame and the main frame aligned.
 
4) Remove the 290-8156 Upper Swing Frame Pin.
 
5) Install the two 3B-8486 Fittings into the new pin. Orient the fittings to allow space for connecting the grease gun.
 
6) Install the new pin and use the following procedures to properly shim the swing frame and pin.
 
a) Use 176-0626 Washers and 9R-8291 Spacers in order to obtain a maximum gap of 1.0 mm (0.04 inch). Refer to Image 1.7.1.
Image1.7.1
 
b) Use 136-7440 Shims in order to achieve the tolerances between the pin and the surface of the casting. The tolerances are specified in Image 1.8.1.
