Bulletin Content
This bulletin is being issued to revise the Service Manual
art and procedure for the disassembly and assembly of the Driven Sprocket
Support. Attached are the updated pages for the 1996-2000 Unit Repair
Service Manual Sections. Replace these pages in your Service Manual. The updated
Service Manual information shows the Driven Sprocket Support art and procedure
without the third clutch exhaust valve cup plug (426). This third clutch exhaust
valve cup plug (426) was removed from production April 5, 1996 (Julian date
095). The sub-assembly parts for the Driven Sprocket Support Assemblies produced
after the above Julian date are not interchangeable with the sub-assembly
components for the Driven Sprocket Support Assemblies produced prior to the
above Julian date. When the third clutch exhaust valve cup plug (426) was
removed from production, the length of the third clutch exhaust valve spring
(425) was increased as well. However, the Driven Sprocket Support Assembly
- Complete is interchangeable.
