This graphic lists the service literature containing information regarding
maintenance of the 992G Wheel Loader linkage. Personnel responsible
for maintaining and servicing the 992G Wheel Loader should be supplied
with the literature listed above.

NOTE: The instructor should provide the students with the above
literature and go over the literature in class.

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 770

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

The lines, the hoses, and the 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).

Standing in the same location and looking up, the inspector can check the
lubrication lines (1) and (2) and the hoses for the A pin and G pin. The
inspector should also check the end plates (3) and (4) and the bolts (5).
This is a visual inspection, checking for loose or damaged parts.
The inspector should also check the left end of the Y pin (not pictured)
from this location.

Moving forward around the front left tire, the inspector should check the
lines and the hoses (1), (2), and (3) and the injectors (4). The end plate
(5) and bolt (6) for the K pin should be checked also.

The E and F pin areas can be checked from the same location. The
inspector should check the flag, retaining plate, retaining bolts, and the
lubrication lines at the E pin (1). The lubrication line (2) should be in
good condition with no leaks. At the F pin (3), check the flag, the
retaining plates, the retaining bolts, and verify there is grease exiting the
relief valve.

Move to the rear of the right front tire and visually inspect the right side
of the G pin (1) and the A pin (2). Again, check the flags, the retaining
plates, and the fasteners looking for damage or looseness. Also check for
grease exiting the relief valves.
The inspector should also check the right end of the Y pin (not pictured)
from this location.
NOTE: Refer to TIBU3641 for additional information regarding the
daily walk-around inspection.

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 a 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, the 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 the boom or the boom and
the 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 the
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 770
5/03

- 18 -

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 BEARING STACK UP
Before disassembly and after assembly, it is important to measure bearing
stack up. Bearing stack up is dimension S in the pin joint cutaway on
the left. If bearing 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 bearing 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

16
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 adds to 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 on 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.

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

17
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.
A damaged bore must be repaired with acceptable weld practices before
installing the new bearings.

992G WHEEL LOADER PIN JOINT BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

Fill All Pin Joints with Grease
Cycle the Bucket and Boom with an Empty Bucket
- A Cycle Consists of Raising, Racking, Dumping, Racking,
and Returning the Bucket to the Ground with Down Pressure
Add Grease to the Pin Joints until Grease Exits the Relief
Fittings and the Face Seals
Cycle the Bucket and Boom Four Times
Add Grease to the Pin Joints until Grease Exits the Relief
Fittings and the Face Seals
Cycle the Bucket and Boom Five Times with a Half Full Bucket
Add Grease to the Pin Joints until Grease Exits the Relief
Fittings or the Face Seals
Cycle the Bucket and Boom Five Times with a Full Bucket
Complete a Daily Walk-Around Inspection of the Pin Joints

19
BREAK IN PROCEDURE
Following any pin or bearing replacement, the pin joints on the 992G
Wheel Loader needs to be broken in. The break-in procedure insures the
pin joints are working properly and receive ample lubrication as the pin
and bearings wear in.
NOTE: Refer to REHS1501 for additional information regarding the
break in procedure for the pin joints.
NOTE: Refer to TIBU3641 for additional information regarding the
daily walk-around inspection for the pin joints.

Check the Alignment of the Dump Stops
Add Grease to All Pin Joints until Grease Exits the Relief
Fittings and the Face Seals
Complete the Pin Joint Break-In Procedure
Complete a Daily Walk-Around Inspection of the Pin Joints

20
PRE-DELIVERY PROCEDURE
A pre-delivery procedure should be completed on a new 992G Wheel
Loader. Similar to the break-in procedure, the pre-delivery procedure
includes installing the bucket and checking the dump stops.
NOTE: Refer to SENR1344 for additional information regarding the
installation of the B and C pins.
NOTE: Refer to REHS0250 for additional information regarding
checking the alignment of the dump stops.
NOTE: Refer to REHS1501 for additional information regarding the
