- ATTENTION -
Please note that gear drives with a serial number above 231989 have all joints sealed with
Loctite Gasket Eliminator 515 instead of gaskets. Loctite 515 is a formed in place gasket
material, which provides superior sealing over conventional gaskets. After disassembly for
repair or inspection, we recommend resealing with Loctite 515. However, gaskets may still be
used. If a gasket is utilized between the horizontal carrier and the gear case for a gear drive
originally built with Loctite, the thickness of horizontal outer spacer (550), if applicable, will
have to be changed to maintain the proper position of the horizontal gear. To correct the
horizontal gear position, increase the horizontal spacer thickness by the thickness of the
gasket. If Loctite is used to re-seal the gear drive then no changes are required to the
horizontal spacer.

Amarillo Right Angle Pump Drives, if properly installed and maintained, should provide years of
service, with a minimum amount of maintenance. Repairs, when required, usually involve
bearing or gear replacement. While the job is not difficult, it should only be performed in an
adequately equipped shop by capable personnel. It should be noted that any repairs made outside
the factory without the consent of the manufacturer would void the warranty.

locknut using a drive punch or spanner wrench. (Right Hand Threads)
Page 7 FORM 498
 3.6.2 Orient the horizontal shaft (500) vertically with the gear up. Remove the
pinion (and gear mount if present) by blocking under the pinion (or gear
mount) and pressing on the end of the shaft.

3.6.3 Turn the horizontal shaft (500) over and remove the inner bearing (603) by
blocking under the inner race and pressing on the end of the shaft.

3.7 For models without the gear retainer, use the following procedure:

3.7.1 Orient the horizontal shaft (500) vertically with the pinion down.

3.7.2 Remove the pinion (and gear mount if present) and the inner bearing cone
(603) by blocking under the pinion (or gear mount) and pressing on the
end of the shaft (500). Do Not block under the inner spacer (551) (if
applicable).

3.8 Remove the horizontal shaft gear key (911). If a horizontal inner spacer is used,
slide it off the shaft (500).

3.9 Remove the inner and outer bearing cups (602 & 603) from the horizontal carrier
(15) using a brass punch or bearing puller.

3.10 If the gear is mounted on a gear mount and is being replaced, remove the bolts
holding the gear to the gear mount. The gear may be removed from the gear mount
by hitting lightly on the back of the gear with a soft mallet.

4.0 General Assembly Instructions.

4.1 Wash all disassembled parts and housing thoroughly with clean solvent. Clean out
all oil lines. Replace any lines that have been damaged.

4.2 Check the new gear set (if required) to make sure it is a matched set. Our gears are
lapped in matched sets at the factory and must not be separated. Each set of gears is
assigned a serial number, which is etched on each member of the set. Along with
the serial number, the mounting distance, part number, and minimum amount of
backlash is etched on each member.

4.3 Do not remove bearings from their cartons until they are needed for use. Wash all
used bearings in clean solvent. DO NOT spin dry the bearings with pressurized air.
Lubricate each bearing and roll the cone in its cup to check for any roughness. To
protect against contamination, cover any bearing that is not going to be used
immediately.

4.4 Inspect new replacement parts to ensure that there are no burrs on shoulders that
could cause assembly problems. Check for burrs on keys and keyways. Ensure that
keys fit properly in keyways and have a chamfer or radius on their edges.

4.5 When pressing ANY component on a shaft or into housing, ALWAYS use an
antigalling compound.

4.6 The correct gear positions are obtained through the use of spacers (450 & 550).
The required lengths of the spacers will vary with changes in the mounting
distances (M.D.) of the gears. Spacer lengths should be changed if the M.D. of the
new gear differs more than 0.003 inch from the M.D. of the old gear. Usually
spacer changes are not required when replacing bearings. If the gear case (10),
horizontal carrier (15) or thrust bearing carrier (12) is replaced, the assembled
castings will have to be remeasured and the spacers changed accordingly. Note:
On some models, the horizontal spacer is integral with the horizontal shaft (500).

5.0 Assembly of Parts on the Vertical Shaft.

5.1 Slide the under gear spacer (451) onto the vertical shaft. (If Required)

5.2 Insert the vertical gear key (910) into the vertical shaft keyway.

5.3 Press the gear or gear mount onto the shaft (400). Make sure that the gear mount is
pressed tightly against the under gear spacer.

Note: If a new gear mount was installed in Step 5.3, proceed to step 11.

5.4 If the gear will pass through the top opening of the gear case (10), bolt the gear to
the gear mount.

Page 9 FORM 498

5.5 Invert the vertical shaft (400) and slide the cup adjustment plate (480) and bearing
cup (601) on to vertical shaft (400).

5.6 Press the bearing cone (601) onto the vertical shaft (400). Take care not to damage
the bearing roller cage.

5.7 Insert the oil screw key (191) and press on the oil screw (19).

5.8 Slide the keyed washer (193) onto the end of the shaft (400) and thread on the
locknut (192). (Right Hand Threads)

5.9 Tighten the locknut securely using a spanner wrench and bend a tab of the keyed
washer into a groove on the locknut.

5.10 Slide the outer race of the upper radial bearing (604) into the thrust bearing carrier
(12). Secure with two cap screws and washers.

5.11 Install the pipe plugs removed in step 2.7.

5.12 Turn the vertical shaft (400) over and slide on the vertical spacer (450). Press on
the upper radial bearing (604).

5.13 Place the pre-load springs (811) in the recessed areas of the thrust bearing carrier
(12). Check the pre-load springs to ensure they still have the proper temper. The
top of the spring should protrude approximately 1/4” above the outer race seating
surface on the thrust bearing carrier.

5.14 Set the outer race of the thrust bearing (600) on top of the pre-load springs (811).

5.15 Press the inner race of the thrust bearing (600) onto the drive sleeve (700).

5.16 Set the thrust bearing carrier (12) down over the radial bearing (604) while rotating
the carrier back and forth. Slide the between bearing spacer (460) onto the shaft
(400).

5.17 Insert the drive sleeve key (701) into the keyway in the vertical shaft (400) and
press on the drive sleeve / inner race assembly (700 / 600) onto the shaft.

Note: Make sure that all components are pressed together tightly, shoulder to shoulder.
Spacers should not spin freely on the shaft. If the assembly is not tightly pressed
together, it will not be possible to obtain correct bearing and gear settings.

5.18 Thread the drive sleeve locknut (702) on the shaft (400) and tighten securely using
a spanner wrench or drift punch. (Right Hand Threads)
o
5.19 Install allthread, 180 apart, into two holes used to secure the thrust bearing cover
(21). Place a draw bar, washer and nuts over the allthread and tighten the draw bar
Page 10 FORM 498
 until the thrust bearing (600) has compressed the springs (811) and is seated in the
thrust bearing carrier (12). This requires a force of approximately 5,000 lb.

5.20 Coat the top of the gear case (10) with plastic lead seal (or equivalent).

5.21 If the gear will not pass through the top opening of the gear case (10) set the gear
inside the gear case through the horizontal opening. Support the gear as a position
where the gear mount will just start into the register on the gear.

5.22 Using a hoist attached to the draw bar, slowly lower the vertical assembly into the
gear case (10). Take care not to damage the oil tube (801) oil lines or gear (if
applicable). Make sure the match marks on the thrust bearing carrier (12) and the
gear case are aligned.

5.23 Install the cap screws and two eyebolts in the thrust bearing carrier (12) and tighten
securely. Make sure the eyebolts are placed in the same location noted in step 1.12.

5.24 If applicable, bolt the gear to gear mount.

5.25 Place the shims under the cup adjustment plate (480). Make sure that the thickness
of the shim set is the same on both sides.

Note: Do not attempt to remove or install the cup adjustment plate without compressing
the thrust bearing pre-load springs (811).

5.24 Insert the cap screws into the cup adjustment plate (480) and securely tighten.
Make sure that the plate is resting on the top of the lower bearing cup (601).

5.25 Attach a dial indicator on top of the thrust bearing carrier (12), so that the indicator
reads off of the drive sleeve (700). While watching the dial indicator, loosen the
nuts on the draw bar. The indicator should read 0.001 to 0.003 inch T.I.R.

5.26 If the reading is outside the limits, tighten the nuts on the draw bar to compress the
pre-load springs (811) and add or subtract shims as required. A 0.001 inch change
in shim pack thickness will change the axial movement of the shaft by 0.001 inch.
If shims are changed, loosen the draw bar nuts and rotated the shaft several
revolutions to seat the bearing. Tighten the draw bar nuts and repeat step 5.25.

5.27 Connect the oil line(s) to the thrust bearing carrier (12).

5.28 Rotate the vertical shaft (400) until the two gear teeth marked with “X” are located
at the horizontal opening of the gear case (10).

6.0 Assembly of the Horizontal Shaft Assembly

6.1 Press the bearing cups (602 & 603) into the horizontal carrier (15).

Page 11 FORM 498

6.2 Use the following procedure if a gear retainer is used:
6.2.1 Insert the horizontal shaft gear key (911) into the shaft keyway.

6.2.2 Press the pinion on the horizontal shaft (500).

6.2.3 Place the keyed washer on the end of the shaft and thread on the locknut.
(Right Hand Threads)

6.2.3 Tighten the locknut with a spanner wrench or drift punch. Bend one of the
washer tabs into a groove in the locknut.

6.2.4 Turn the shaft (500) over so that the pinion is down. Slide on the
horizontal outer spacer (550) (if it is not part of the shaft).

6.2.5 Press the inner bearing cone (603) on the shaft. Take care not to damage
the bearing roller cage. Ensure that the bearing seats tightly against the
spacer (550).

6.3 Use the following procedure if the model does not use a gear retainer:

6.3.1 Slide on the horizontal inner spacer (551), if applicable, onto the shaft and
insert the horizontal gear key (911) into the shaft keyway.

6.3.2 Press pinion or gear mount if applicable, on the horizontal shaft (500).

Note: If a new gear mount was installed in step 6.3.2, proceed to step 11.

6.3.3 Slide the horizontal outer spacer (550) over the shaft and press on the
inner bearing cone (603). Take care not to damage the gear roller cage.
Ensure that the bearing seats tightly against the spacer (550).

6.4 Set the horizontal carrier (15) over the shaft and press the horizontal outer bearing
cone (602) onto the shaft. DO NOT press the bearing on too tight. Leave a
minimum of 0.015” axial play. Final axial bearing adjustments will be made using
locknut (560).

6.5 Thread the thicker portion of the locknut (560) on the horizontal shaft (500). Note:
The ground surface on the thicker locknut should be installed against the outer
bearing cup. Do not tighten. (Right Hand Threads).

6.6 Insert the horizontal assembly into the gear case (10). A non-compressible gasket
approximately 0.015 inch thick should be placed between the horizontal carrier (15)
and the gear case (10). Note: Make sure that the timing mark “X” on the pinion is
aligned with the timing marks on the gear. Also make sure the match marks on the
horizontal carrier and gear case are aligned. Install and tighten the cap screws.

6.7 Mount a dial indicator between the horizontal carrier (15) and the end of the
Page 12 FORM 498
 horizontal shaft (500) so that the axial movement of the shaft can be measured.
6.8 Tighten the locknut (560) with a spanner wrench or drift punch until the in and out
movement (bearing clearance) is from 0.005 to 0.006 inch T.I.R. Note: The
horizontal shaft should be rotated before each reading so the bearings will remain
seated.
6.9 Remove the dial indicator and thread the thinner part of the locknut (560) to within
1/32 to 1/16 inch of the thicker locknut. DO NOT butt the two nuts together.

6.10 Align the holes in the locknut set (560) and insert the cap screws. Tighten the cap
screws until the outer nut deflects and almost touches the inner nut.

7.0 Backlash Check.

Backlash is the amount of clearance between the mating teeth of a gear set and is obtained
by measuring the amount of movement of one member at the pitch diameter, when the
other member is held stationary. Backlash is very difficult to measure directly in an
assembled gear drive. Following is an indirect method of measuring backlash.

7.1 Place a spreader bar on top of the drive sleeve locknut (702) and attach it to the
thrust bearing carrier (12) using allthread or cap screws. Tighten the spreader bar
against the drive sleeve locknut to prevent the vertical shaft (400) from turning.

7.2 Place a key in the horizontal shaft (500) keyway and retain with a C-clamp to
eliminate any movement between the key and shaft.

7.3 Place a dial indicator against the key and set to zero.

7.4 Measure the distance from the center of the shaft (500) to the contact point between
the indicator and the key (see Figure 2). This is the “r” value in the equation in step
7.6.

7.5 Rotate the horizontal shaft (500) back and forth and record the total indicator
reading (T.I.R.). This is the “M” value in the equation in step 7.6. Note: Make sure
no movement occurs in the vertical shaft.

7.6 Calculate the backlash using the following equation. The “C” value is found in
Table 1.

(C x M)
Backlash = ------------
r

7.7 The amount of backlash must not be less than the amount etched on the gear set;
however, the backlash may be as high as twice the etched value. If the backlash is
not within the limits stated above, it must be corrected. Refer to Step 10 after
performing the tooth contact pattern check. NEVER run the gears without
backlash.

FIGURE 2

8.0 Tooth Contact Pattern Check.

8.1 Remove the spreader bar from the top of the gear drive.

8.2 Apply a suitable marking compound to the teeth of the gears and rotate the
horizontal shaft.

8.3 The correct tooth contact for a gear set is shown in Figure 3. If the tooth contact is
correct and the backlash is within limits, proceed to step 10.0. If the tooth contact is
correct and backlash need to be corrected, proceed to step 9.0.

8.4 Figure 4 shows the two most common forms of incorrect tooth contact. When a
tooth contact occurs as shown in Figure 4A, check the following items.

8.4.1 Make sure the horizontal shaft carrier (15) is pulled up tightly to the gear
case (10).

8.4.2 Make sure that only one gasket was used between the horizontal carrier
(15) and the gear case (10).

Page 14 FORM 498

 8.4.3 Make sure that the gasket used between the horizontal carrier (15) and the
gear case (10) is 0.015 inch thick.

8.4.4 If the above steps do not correct the tooth contact, then the pinion will
have to be moved toward the gear by increasing the thickness of the
horizontal outer spacer (550).

8.5 When tooth contact occurs as shown in Figure 4B, check the following items.

8.5.1 Make sure that a gasket was installed between the horizontal carrier (15)
and the gear case (10).

8.5.2 Make sure that the gasket used between the horizontal carrier (15) and the
gear case (10) is 0.015 inch thick.

8.5.3 If the above steps do not correct the tooth contact, then the pinion will
have to be moved away from the gear by decreasing the thickness of the
horizontal outer spacer (550). Note: Removal of stock from the spacer
must be done on a surface grinder or in lathe with the spacer mounted on
an expanding mandrel.

8.6 When the tooth contact occurs as shown in Figure 5 or 6, refer to the following instructions.

8.6.1 The most probable cause of cross contact or shaft angle error is that the
horizontal carrier (15) is cocked in the register of the gear case (10).
8.6.2 To correct, remove the horizontal assembly and check for burrs, chips, a
folded gasket or any condition that will prevent the horizontal carrier from
seating flat and square on the gear case (10). Contact the factory if the
problem cannot be corrected.

9.0 Backlash Adjustment

After the correct tooth contact is obtained, the backlash must be rechecked according to the
procedure outlined in step 7.0.

9.1 If the backlash is less than the amount etched on the gear set, the vertical gear will
have to be moved away from the pinion. This is accomplished by removing stock
from the vertical spacer (450). Note: Removal of stock from the spacer must be
done on a surface grinder or in a lathe with the spacer mounted on an expanding
mandrel. This ensures that the ends of the spacer remain parallel to each other and
perpendicular to the bore within 0.0002 inch.

9.2 If the backlash is more than twice the amount etched on the gear set, the vertical
gear will have to be moved toward the pinion. This is accomplished by increasing
the length of the vertical spacer (450). Note: When making a new spacer, make
sure that the ends of the spacer are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the
bore.

9.3 Use the following table to determine how much to change the appropriate spacer
length. The values given will change the backlash 0.001 inch.

Incr. Change in Horizontal Decr. Change in Horizontal

Ratio Spacer Length (in.) Ratio Spacer Length (in.)

1:1 0.0020 11:10 0.0019

10:11 0.0019 6:5 0.0018
5:6 0.0018 5:4 0.0018
4:5 0.0018 4:3 0.0017
3:4 0.0017 3:2 0.0017
2:3 0.0017 8:5 0.0017
4:7 0.0017 7:4 0.0017
1:2 0.0015 2:1 0.0015
9:4 0.0015
5:2 0.0014
3:1 0.0014

9.4 When the backlash is within limits, proceed to Step 10.0.

10.0 Final Assembly.

10.1 Cover the horizontal shaft keyway with tape to prevent the oil seal (802) form
being cut as it slides over the keyway.

10.2 Replace to horizontal shaft seal (802) in the oil seal plate (16.)

10.3 Align the match mark on the horizontal carrier and oil seal plate (15 & 16) and
install the seal plate.

10.4 Fill the thrust bearing carrier (12) with oil. The oil level should be just below the
oil drain holes located around the outside diameter of the thrust bearing (600).
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Instructions for the proper type of oil.

10.5 Align the match marks on the thrust bearing cover (21) and the thrust bearing
carrier (12). Tighten all eight of the cap screws in the thrust bearing cover.

10.6 Using feeler gauges, ensure that equal clearance on all sides is maintained
between the thrust bearing cover (21) and the drive sleeve (700).

10.7 Install the non-reverse clutch (24) on the drive sleeve (700). The drive pins (241)
in the clutch must line up with the holes in the drive sleeve.

10.8 Make sure that the oil line to the gears is located so that it is pointing toward the
lower 1/3 of the tooth face and 3/4” away for the gear mesh.

10.9 Install the side inspection place on the gear case (10).

10.10 Fill the gear drive with the proper oil. See the Operating and Maintenance
Instructions for the proper type of oil.

10.11 If possible, test the drive before installation or observe the initial operation after
overhaul. The installation of a pressure gauge in the oil test port at the initial start
up will help in determining that the lubrication system is operating properly.
Normally during cold start-ups, the oil pressure will range from 5 to 10 psi.

11.0 Machining of New Gear Mount. (Refer to Figure 7)

Gear mounts as supplied by the factory are not finish machined on the gear mounting
surfaces. These features are machined after the gear mount is assembled on the shaft to
assure that the ring gear will be perfectly centered. This operation will require a lathe
with the ability to drive the shaft between centers.

11.1 Place the shaft with the gear mount (400 or 500) between the centers on the lathe.

11.2 Machine surface “A”, taking 0.005 to 0.015 inch cut.

11.3 Machine diameter “D” to the same diameter as on the original gear mount or for a
tight fit with the gear. Normally, this fit is 0.0005” loose to 0.0005” tight.

11.4 Machine surface “B”, holding dimension “T” to the same thickness as the original
gear mount.

11.5 Clean the cast iron dust from the shaft and gear mount.

11.6 Proceed to Step 5.3 or Step 6.3.3, whichever is applicable.
