Subject: Cat D5 98J final drive bearing adjustment


Idaho		Which way does one turn the adjusting cap on 98J to tighten the bearings on the bull gear carrier? CW or CCW? Is it different from side to side? Used to know and did my own but that knowledge went to the blue when the quads showed up. Friend just bought a "5" and I need to get him into shape.

S.E. WA		They tighten CW. Both sides the same.

Idaho		Thank you. Those Cats are still what a tractor is supposed to look like.

S.E. WA		Error!! They tighten counter clockwise when mounted on the tractor. They have regular threads, so you have to rotate ccw when standing next to the tractor
looking at the adj. nut. This will pull the outer bearing inward, taking up any slack.

Idaho		Thanks for the due diligence! That is what I thought it was. Now to make the tool that I let go with the tractor. My tractor's first home was the sky rockets. Then Moscow and now somewhere over by Odessa.
