Non-top adjust (traditional) drawbar

This model of motor grader may be equipped with one of two types of drawbars: a top adjust or a non-top adjust (traditional) drawbar. The top adjust drawbar is
identified by having plates to access the circle wear strips bolted to the top of the drawbar. The non-top adjust drawbar utilizes shims between the circle shoes
and the drawbar. The circle clearance adjustment procedures for the two types of drawbars are different and outlined in the following sections.

Non-Top Adjust (Traditional) Drawbar


Blade Circle and Drawbar

Personal injury or death can result from blade falling.

1. Rotate the blade. Place the blade at an angle of 90 degrees to the frame.

Note: Install the c-clamps before you lower the blade to the ground.

Note: After all the adjustments have been performed, blade circle (1) must rotate freely without binding.

Circle Pinion and Circle


Note: The engagement of the circle pinion and the circle teeth is determined by the adjustment of the circle shoes. Clean the circle and the pinion. Remove any
dirt and any abrasive material. This will reduce wear to the circle pinion and to the circle teeth. Also, this will improve the accuracy of the adjustment of the
circle shoes. After the adjustment, apply clean lubricant to the circle pinion and the circle teeth.

1. Rotate the blade and place the blade at an angle of 90 degrees to the frame. Lower the blade to the ground. As you slowly inch the machine in a forward
direction, apply the service brake. This will hold a light load between the wear strips for the front circle shoes and the circle. Engage the parking brake
and stop the engine.

Illustration 9 g00775404

2. Measure clearance (X) that is between the bottom flange of pinion (10) and the inner machined surface of blade circle (1). If the clearance is less than
49.5 mm (1.95 inch) to 52.5 mm (2.07 inch), then adjust the clearance.
