1. INTRODUCTION
1. Wheel loader axle assembly
A. The Daewoo front and rear axle assemblies are designed for heavy duty
applications. The front axle is sized slightly larger than the rear axle.
B. Driveshafts transmit torque from the transmission to the front and rear
axles. The front and rear axles each contain a standard torque proportional
differential. Each end of each axle contains of planetary gear set that
further increases the torque that is delivered to the wheels. A multiple wet
disc brake is installed in each axle end. The rear axle is connected to the
trunnion bearing support by a pin, and this allows it to oscillate at 30°. A
disc type parking brake is mounted to the front axle.

3. DIFFERENTIAL THEORY
1. The differential style used in the
axle of the M250-III is torque
proportional. The purpose of this
differential is to achieve equal
torque to both wheels during normal
operation and to allow both wheels
to turn at different speeds when
needed (in a turn condition). The
following paragraphs explain the
operation of the torque proportional
differential.

Technical Training Text
C. when the machine is travelling
straight and both wheels have
equal traction, both wheels
(1,2) will turn at the same
speed and equal torque is
applied to both wheels. At this
point the carrier assembly is
turning as one unit. Equal
traction can be observed by
looking at items (3,4)

Technical Training Text
E. When the operator forces the
machine to make a left turn, the
inside wheel (1) does not want
to rotate as fast as wheel (2).
The outside wheel will turn
faster because it has a longer
distance to travel.
G. The carrier assembly has now stopped turning as one complete unit.

4. FINAL DRIVE CONSTRUCTION
1. Ring Gear Assembly: consists of the spindle, final drive seal, tapered roller
bearing, main hub, ring gear, and locknut.
A. Spindle: Cylindrical type object
(1) that bolts directly to the axle
housing. The spindle is splined
(2) at the opposite end. The
center of the spindle is bored
(3) so that the driveshaft can be
fed through to the final drive
reduction gears. A seal is
installed onto the spindle. The
inside race is pressed onto the
spindle shaft.
13 4028-7119
Technical Training Text
D. Locknut: the locknut (2) is
installed onto the end of the
spindle shaft (1). The locknut
will hold the main hub and the
ring gear assembly onto the
spindle shaft. The locknut has
to be carefully torqued to
accommodate for radial and
thrust loads on the main hub
assembly. Torquing the spindle
nut adjusts the load on the
main hub tapered roller
bearing.

2. Planetary Assembly: Consists of a solid cover that holds the, reduction gears,
roller bearings, spacers, snap rings, driveshaft.
A. Planetary cover: A solid cover
(1) that has four unreplaceable
shafts (2). Each one of these
shafts has groove (3) cut in it to
accept a snapring.
B. Reduction gears: There are two rows of needle bearings (1,2) that fit
around each shaft of the reduction cover. After the needle bearings have
been installed, a reduction gear (3) is placed on to each shaft.; after the
reduction gears are installed a spacer (4) is then placed on top of each
gear.
15 4028-7119
Technical Training Text
C. Finally, a snapring (1) is placed
on the very end of each shaft.
Each snap ring secures each
reduction gear assembly to
each shaft.
D. Drive shaft: Splined on both ends (1,2). One end slides into the sun gear of
the differential assembly. A drum gear (3) is fitted on the other end and is
held in place by a snap ring. The splines of this end will mesh to the
reduction gears.

D. There are three small bored
holes (1) toward the inside
diameter of the pressure plate.
The necks (2) of the returns
springs are forced through
these small bores.

3. Clutch Disc assembly: consists of the clutch discs and separator plates, braking
plate, and a snapring.
A. The clutch discs (1) and
separator plates (2) are
staggered. The separator
plates can be ordered in
different thickness’s to achieve
a specific stack height.
21 4028-7119
Technical Training Text
C. Separator plates (1) must be
perfectly flat and true. They are
splined on the outside diameter
and will mesh to the inside
diameter splines of the ring
gear (2).

7. SERVICE BRAKE THEORY
1. The axle brake assembly is a wet disc brake system. The final drive assembly
has been constructed, and the service brake system has been constructed.
These components are submerged into oil.
A. APPLY CONDITION
a) When the operator applies
pressure to the brake valve in
the main cabin, hydraulic oil is
sent to each spindle of the axle
assembly. this oil travels through
passages of the spindle and
terminates at the brake piston.
23 4028-7119
Technical Training Text
c) When the pushpin (1) moves the
pressure plate (2) moves. As the
pressure plate moves the three
return springs (3) begin to
extend. As the pressure plate
moves, it will begin to compress
the clutch discs (4) and
separator plates (5). As the
clutch discs and separator
plates compress, effective
braking occurs.
B. Release Condition
a) When the operator release the
brake valve, hydraulic oil at the
brake piston follows a free path
back to the tank. At this point
brake pressure at the brake
piston disappears.

A. Is a solid disc (1) that mounts
to the front flange of the axle
assembly.

Technical Training Text
2. Caliper Assembly
A. The caliper housing (1) is a
solid cast housing. This
housing mounts (2) to the
center of the front axle housing.
The caliper housing is ported
(3) to allow hydraulic oil to enter
the chamber when the operator
selects the parking brake
unlock position. The housing
supports other components
that operate the parking brake
mechanism

D. Next, six bevel washers (1) are
staggered on top of the parking
brake piston.

3. Brake pad assembly
A. Asbestos material is applied to
the steel casing for stopping.
4028-7119 28
Technical Training Text
4. Parking brake theory
A. Lock position
a) When the engine is in the off
position or the engine is running
and the park brake switch is in
the lock position, the bevel
washers (1) force the parking
brake piston (2) down into the
caliper. This action causes the
brake pads (3) to compress
eliminating the brake rotor from
having the ability to turn.
B. Unlock position
a) When the engine is running and
the operator selects the parking
brake unlock position, high
pressure oil (1) travels into the
cavity of the caliper. This high
pressure oil forces the piston to
move compressing the bevel
washers (2) releasing the brake
pads. In this condition the brake
rotor is free to rotate.

b) Put dial (1, Figure 12)
gauge in vertical contact
with forward tooth face,
and while turning
adjusting nut, adjust until
dial gauge fluctuation
becomes 0.2 - 0.28 mm
(0.008 - 0.011 in.).
NOTE:Measure at three or four
places, and keep
pinion gear from
rotating when
measuring. Figure 12
2) Adjust tooth contact as follows:
a) Adjust bevel pinion by adjusting shims (16, Figure 10) between differential camerand
bearing cup (13).
b) Coat the face of seven or eight pinion teeth lightly with prussian bluing. Hold the
bevel gear by hand to act as a brake, rotate the pinion gear forward and backward
and inspect the pattern left on the teeth.
