Summary
This guideline provides procedures to evaluate the front wheels and the rear wheels of off-highway trucks for reusability. This guideline also includes information for
salvaging the bearing bores of the wheel. This guideline includes information for salvaging bolt holes or stud holes in the mounting flanges. Specifications are
provided for both the front wheels and the rear wheels. In certain severe conditions, it may be possible for an off-highway truck to develop cracks in the rear wheels.
Cracking may occur in the wrapper band or between the two hubs. This guideline provides the information that is required to repair fabricated rear wheels and cast
rear wheels. The success of repairing the wheel depends on the extent of the required repair, repair methods, and repair quality. Sometimes, the wheel may not be
repairable.
This guideline contains the latest standards of engineering that will help minimize owning and operating costs. Parts that meet the specifications in this guideline can
be expected to give normal performance until the next scheduled overhaul when the parts are used in the same application. Never install a part that does not meet the
specifications in this guideline. During reconditioning, correct any condition that might have caused the original failure.
Note: Illustrations in this guideline may appear different from some of the components. Although the illustrations are typical, the dimensions are actual.

• Before you inspect a part, clean the part thoroughly to ensure that all components are free from rust, oil, burrs, and debris prior to inspection. A surface
irregularity can hide the indication of an unacceptable defect.
• Use a proper lifting device to provide safety to the operator. Also, use a proper lifting device to prevent damage to the part when you lift the part.
• During cleaning, do not damage machined surfaces.
• Use pressurized air to dry parts.
• Put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion if inspection is not done immediately after cleaning. Carefully store the parts in a clean
container.
• Inspect all flange mating surfaces and ensure that flange mating surfaces are true and free from raised material resulting from rust, nicks, and dents.
• Use appropriate thread taps to chase all threaded holes.
Standardized Parts Marking Procedure

Reference: Refer to Reuse And Salvage Guideline, SEBF8187, "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures" for additional information regarding marking procedures.
The code is a Cat standard and is used to record the history of a component. The code will identify the number of repairs and hours at the time of each rebuild. This
information is important for any decision to reuse the component.
The mark should not be covered by a mating part. Use a Metal Marking Pen to mark the code onto the component.
NOTICE
Do not use a numbering stamp punches set to mark internal parts. The
impact from striking the stamp will cause an abnormal stress riser.
The added stress riser may cause the part to fail prematurely.
The procedure for marking the components is a Cat standard. This code is helpful when the machine is sold into a different territory after the first repair. During an
overhaul, the previous code of a part should never be removed.
Example 1
Illustration 5 shows code (1-15). The first number (1) indicates that the component had been repaired once. The second number (15) indicates that there were 15,000
hours on the component at the time of repair.
Example 2
Illustration 6 shows code (1-12) and code (2-10). Code (2-10) represents the information from the second repair. The first number (2) indicates that the component
had been repaired twice. The second number (10) indicates that 10,000 hours accumulated on the component between the first and second repair.
Note: To obtain the total number of hours for the component in Illustration 6, add first and second repair hours. In this example the component has a total of 22,000
hours.

Inspection of Wheels
Cleaning Before Inspection
A wheel should be clean before you inspect the wheel. These surfaces must be free of rust, grease, oil, burrs, and paint prior to inspection. This may require the wheel
to be blasted with sand to remove any rust and scale. The surfaces for salvage must be free of irregularities. Irregularities may cover up indicators which would make
the surface unacceptable to be reused. If the wheel is going to be stored after inspection, put a thin layer of oil on the wheel and make sure that the storage area is
clean and dry. Once the wheel has passed the inspection for reusability or the wheel has been salvaged, the wheel needs to be cleaned and painted before the wheel is
put back in service.

General Guidelines
Wheels must be inspected prior to any repair procedure. The wheel should be inspected immediately after disassembly and cleaning. The following list is the critical
features of the wheel that must be inspected:
Entire Wheel - Inspect the entire wheel for cracks. Use a Crack Detection Kit (MAGNETIC PARTICLE) for inspection. Inspecting the wheel for cracks is used to
identify wheels that are acceptable to be reused. This inspection prevents failure due to existing cracks after the wheel is salvaged. Carefully inspect all radii of the
flange for cracks. Inspect all welds for cracks on fabricated wheels.
Splines - The splines are subject to high loads and the splines require inspection. Measure the inside or outside diameter over pins to determine wear. Splines arenot
ableto be salvaged. Refer to the "Inspecting the Splines" section of this guideline.
Bearing Bores - Bearing bores may be salvaged by using flame spray or arc spray. Refer to the "Thermal Spray For Bearing Journals" section of this guideline for
more information.
Bore for the Duo-Cone Seal Gp - The seal bore may experience damage to the surface that may destroy the integrity of the seal. The seal bore is not to be salvaged.
Mounting Flange Holes - These holes may experience damage if bolts are loose during operation. Inspect the mounting flange holes for deformation. Refer to the
"Machining and Dimensions" section of this guideline for machining dimensions for the mounting flange holes and the"Salvage of Bolt and Stud Holes" for the repair
procedure.
Threaded Bolt Holes - Threaded bolt holes may be salvaged by using Lock-N-Stitch Full-Torque Threaded Inserts. Refer to the "Full Torque Thread Insert Kits"
section of this guideline for the procedure to repair the bolt holes and refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8882, "Using Lock-N-Stitch Procedures for
Casting Repair" for more information on Lock-N-Stitch products.
Stud Holes - Stud holes that are damaged may be enlarged to accept oversize studs. Refer to the Table 35 for a list of oversize studs and "Weld Repair of Bolt or Stud
Holes" section of this guideline for more information.
Bearing Bores of the Wheel
Bearing bores of the wheel can be visually inspected with the naked eye. For the best results during inspection, use a lens that magnifies objects and a strong light
source. Use the 8S-2257 Eye Loupe As to inspect the details. Distinguishing between small scratches and small cracks may be difficult. In these cases, use a Crack
Detection Kit (MAGNETIC PARTICLE).

Inspecting the Splines
Final drive splines are subject to high loads. This makes accurate inspection essential. Splines should be inspected immediately after removal and cleaning. If you are
not able to inspect the splines immediately, put hydraulic oil on each machined surface to prevent rust or corrosion.
Visual Inspection
Splines can be visually inspected with the naked eye. To provide the best results from inspection, a lens for magnification and a strong light source are recommended.
It can also be difficult to distinguish between small scratches and small cracks. In these cases, use 263-7184 Crack Detection Kit or Liquid Penetrant Examination.
Wheels with cracked splines must not be used again. Be sure to inspect every spline on each spindle. If a damaged spline is found, all the splines that mate to the
damaged spline and all the splines that are 180 degrees from the damaged spline should be carefully reinspected for possible fatigue from bending. Always use the
proper lifting devices for the safety of the operator and to prevent machined damage to the surface. Safety glasses should be worn always for the operator's protection.
Failure Progression
The key element to analyzing damage on final drive splines is determining if the damage will progress to a failure before the next overhaul. Analyze the truck's
application and spline size when you are making this determination.
There are two typical failure progressions:
1. Spline wear or fracture due to misalignment
2. Cracking from fatigue due to fracture
Wear Misalignment
Spline wear is the result of relative motion between mating spline teeth. High loading, insufficient lube, vibration, and abrasive materials are a few of the causes.
Typically, splines can be reused if the wear step is less than 0.20 mm (0.008 inch). When spline wear is excessive, movement of the joints increases causing a
misalignment and an imbalance. This increases the chance of broken splines. Excess clearance between splines will also create shock loading during speed, load,
and/or direction changes.
There is normally a small amount of relative motion between mating spline teeth. Uneven contact patterns on the spline teeth are the result of misalignment of one or
both of the mating splines. If the teeth of the spline are misaligned, the teeth of the spline are not engaged to the full extent of the teeth. This means that only a portion
of each tooth is carrying the full load. Misalignment of teeth causes high contact pressures on the portion of the tooth that is carrying the load. Thus, damage to the
surface that is associated with high contact pressures and relative movement will be seen as wear on the spline and corrosion due to fretting. Misalignment can be
identified by the uneven contact pattern on the spline teeth.
Worn bearings, damaged bearings, worn spindles, or damaged spindles can cause misalignment. If any spline displays uneven contact patterns, be sure to check for
misalignment and correct the problem. Splines with wear due to misalignment do not prevent you from reusing the wheel, if the highest area of wear does not exceed
the reuse criteria of the spline.
Fatigue Cracks
Numerous broken teeth of the spline are the result of a failure due to fatigue from bending. The operational loads create tensile stress in the area of the fillet on the
loaded side of the tooth. With enough high loads and cycles, these stresses can cause cracks due to fatigue. After a crack due to fatigue develops, the crack will
continue to progress until the tooth is sufficiently weakened and the crack separates from the parent metal. Cracking can also occur between the root of the tooth and
a bolt hole or inside diameter of the part.
Examples of Reusability of Splines
Use a seal pick to check the splines.
Push the seal pick from the worn area to the worn area. Measure the splines if the splines have a wear step that is large enough to stop the seal pick. Refer to the
"Measuring Procedures to Evaluate the Limits of Wear on the Spline". Generally, a 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) wear step will stop a seal pick.
When possible, use a steel straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure questionable splines. Refer to the "Measuring Procedures to Evaluate the Limits of Wear on the Spline" section of this
guideline.
The heavy wear step in this illustration stopped a seal pick. The spline is being measured with a feeler gauge to determine reusability because of the stopped seal pick. The depth of the wear step is
greater than 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) and the spline should not be used again.
Do not use the spline again.
Remember to check the ends of the engagement of the splines. Use a seal pick as a go, no-go, gauge. If the splines are not worn evenly, check for problems from
alignment and measure the splines prior to reusing the splines.
The seal pick stopped at the engagement point of the spline.
Normal Wear
This internal spline has normal wear. The wear pattern is even due to full contact during operation.
Use the spline again.
This spline shows signs of even loading and full contact.
Use one of the Crack Detection Kits that is specified in Table 3 to check the part for cracks. This spline has a deep indentation but this spline does not show any signs of cracking. Use a stone for
polishing to smooth any sharp edges around the indentation.
This spline has an external wear step. This spline is acceptable for reusability because the dimensions meet the reuse criteria that is shown in Table 6. There is corrosion due to fretting from the lack
of lubrication. Alone, the fretting does not prohibit the reusability of this spline.
Damage on Teeth
A tooth of the spline is missing and the adjacent teeth of the spline are heavily damaged.
A spline has developed a crack in the area of the root. The crack has progressed into the adjacent splines.
Pitting and Fretting
The heavy pitting (arrow) will progress into spalling. Eventually, the tooth will fracture and the tooth will look like the missing tooth that is shown in Illustration 25.
Heavy fretting due to corrosion on this spline will eventually cause the spline to spall the teeth.
Measuring Procedures to Evaluate the Limits of Wear on the Spline
Typical wear step on an external spline
Typical wear step on an internal spline
To insure adequate life of the components, this document contains highly precise tolerances for measurements taken on various features. Therefore, good practice is
to insure several sample measurements are taken at different locations on the same feature. For this procedure, each type of spline will require the use of a specific pin
set. Each pin is ground to a specific dimension. Care must be taken to precisely machine these pins to the specification due to the close tolerances of the splines. Make
the pins out of SAE1020 steel. Use the dimension for the pin diameter in Table 4 to precisely machine each pin for the specific pin set. Magnetize each pin so that the
pins will stay in place during the process of measurement.
Tools used for measuring should include outside diameter micrometer for motor spline. These tools must measure to four decimal places in inch units or three
decimal places in mm units. Measuring tools should be calibrated using gauge blocks certified to a national standard such as the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST).
To obtain accurate results, you must have a thorough working knowledge of the use of micrometers. Calculate the average for the three measurements over pins. Use
the following procedure to determine the maximum allowable spline wear.
Use the following procedure to determine the maximum allowable spline wear.
1. Determine the wear on each spline by using an inside or an outside micrometer. To obtain accurate results, the individual person that is performing the check
must understand the use of both inside micrometers and outside micrometers.
2. Place pins on the spline at intervals of 60 degrees. Secure the pins in place. If the pins are magnetized the pins should stay in place.
Place pins at 60 degree intervals. The pins should be magnetized or the pins should be retained by a rubber band to prevent movement.
Internal measurements of the spline with pins at 60 degree intervals.
Take measurements between pins that are located 180 degrees across from each other.
External measurement of the spline with pins at 60 degree intervals.
Take measurements over pins that are located 180 degrees across from each other.
The outside micrometer must be positioned to measure the highest two points of the pins.
3. The micrometer must be positioned to measure the highest external two points or the internal two points on the pins. This will provide the reading of wear for
the spline. The pin diameter for each individual part is specified in Table 6. Take a measurement over pins at 60 degree intervals. Add the readings together and
divide the sum by three. The maximum reading over pins or minimum reading over pins must also be determined because the out of round measurement will
cause poor load distribution on the spline teeth.
Example of Measurements for Internal Splines
Place pins at 60 degree intervals on the component. The location of the pins at 60 degree intervals is critical to the formula. These three locations will provide
information on the wear of the part. Make sure that the pins that are used for the measurement are 180 degrees across from each other.
Measure the diameter at locations (A), (B), and (C).
Step 1 through Step 4 demonstrates the calculations that are necessary to check the measurements of an internal spline at 60 degree intervals. The numbers that are
given are only for example. The specifications that are used in this example are for a 8X-1047 Wheel. Refer to Table 6 for specifications.
1. Measure the diameter at locations (A), (B), and (C).
2. Add the diameters together.
3. Divide the result by 3 to obtain the average.
If the calculated dimension is less than the Specification for Reusability Over Pins in Table 6, then the part passes this requirement.
4. The difference between the high measurement and the low measurement gives an indication if the splines are out of round. If the splines are out of round the
splines may experience an uneven load distribution. Take the high measurement and the low measurement and calculate the difference. The difference between
the two measurements also determines if the wheel can be used again.
Table 6 designates a Maximum Difference Between the High Measurement and the Low Measurement. If the actual difference is less than the allowable
maximum, then the spline can be used again.
If the actual difference between the High Measurement and the Low Measurement exceeded the Maximum Difference, then the splined component would be
elliptical and the component could not be used again.
Note: Both the Specification for Reusability Over Pins and the Maximum Difference Between the High Measurement and the Low Measurement must be
within the specifications that are given. If the part does not meet both specifications, do not reuse the part.
Example of Measurements for External Splines
Place pins at 60 degree intervals on the component. The location of the pins at 60 degree intervals is critical to the formula. These three locations will provide
information about the wear of the part.
Measure the diameter at locations (A), (B), and (C).
Step 1 through Step 4 demonstrates the calculations that are necessary to check the measurements of an external spline at 60 degree intervals. The numbers that are
given are only for example. The specifications that are used in this example are for a 119-9065 Wheel. Refer to Table 6 for specifications.
1. Measure the diameter at locations (A), (B), and (C).
2. Add the diameters together.
3. Divide the result by 3 to obtain the average.
If the calculated dimension is less than the Specification for Reusability Over Pins in Table 6, then the part passes this requirement.
If the calculated dimension is greater than the Specification for Reusability Over Pins in Table 6, then the part passes this requirement.
4. The difference between the high measurement and the low measurement gives an indication if the splines are out of round. If the splines are out of round the
splines may experience an uneven load distribution. Take the high measurement and the low measurement and calculate the difference. The difference between
the two measurements also determines if the wheel can be used again.
Table 6 designates a Maximum Difference Between the High Measurement and the Low Measurement. If the actual difference is more than the allowable
maximum, then the spline is elliptical and the spline should not be used again.
Note: Both the Specification for Reusability Over Pins and the Maximum Difference Between the High Measurement and the Low Measurement must be
within the specifications that are given. If the part does not meet both specifications, do not reuse the part.

General Information on Welding Repair
In certain severe conditions, it may be possible for an off-highway truck to develop cracks in the rear wheel assemblies. Cracking may occur in the area of the
wrapper band or between the two hubs.
This guideline provides the necessary information to repair fabricated wheels and cast wheels. Successfully repairing the wheel depends on the extent of the required
repair, repair methods, and repair quality. Sometimes, repairing the wheel may not be possible.
Off Highway Trucks may be equipped with a fabricated wheel that is made of three pieces, a fabricated wheel that is made out of two pieces, or a cast wheel. Repair
procedures in this publication are defined for fabricated wheels and cast wheels. Since fabricated wheels require a repair procedure that is different from cast wheels,
it is important to know the differences between the two types of wheels. Refer to the following illustrations to identify fabricated wheels and cast wheels.
The serial numbers of the individual rear wheels should be recorded. The following information should also be recorded:
• Repair date
• Type of repair
• Name of the welder
Note: The repair procedure for fabricated wheels is different from the repair procedure for cast wheels.
Types of wheels
(A) Fabricated wheel that is made of three pieces
(B) Fabricated wheel that is made of two pieces
(C) Cast wheel
Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SEBF9236, "Fundamentals of HVOF Spray for Reconditioning Components"Special Instruction, SEBF9238, "Fundamentals of
Arc Spray for Reconditioning Components", Special Instruction, SEBF9240, "Fundamentals of Flame Spray for Reconditioning Components", for more information
on welding.
Information on the Fixture for the Wheel
Prior to any repair by welding, the fabricated wheels must be mounted securely in a fixture for welding to hold dimensions and tolerances.
Note: Fixtures are intended only for fabricated wheels. Fixtures may be used for cast wheels, but the fixtures may require some modification.
A fixture can be constructed to support the wheel assembly. The following Tables and Illustrations provide the proper dimensions for construction. The completed
fixture should be used with a positioner that is capable of supporting 1816 kg (4000 lb).
Note: Before attaching the ground cable of the welder to the base of the positioner, check the specifications of the manufacturer to make sure that the machine is
designed to allow the cable to be attached at the base. If the machine is not designed to allow the cable to be attached at the base, attach the ground cable directly to
the wheel. The current from welding will destroy the bearings if the current is allowed to flow through the bearings.

Procedure to Remove the Wrapper Band
1. Remove all oil, grease, paint, dirt, and other material from the area. Remove surface oxides within a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) from either side of the
welding area.
2. Protect all machined areas from sparks and spatter that is produced by carbon cutting, welding, and grinding processes.
3. Use the carbon cutting process to remove the existing wrapper band. Make shallow cuts to prevent destroying the geometry of the existing weld joint. You will
eliminate the cast backup at the rests of the wrapper band if the weld is too deep. You will then need to use material for welding to build up a cast backup.
Note: The welds may be machined to remove the wrapper band if a lathe is available and the lathe has the capacity to support a wheel assembly. This will
reduce the chances for distortion versus using the carbon cutting process.
4. The metal edges must be dressed with a grinder and the metal edges must be dressed with a rotary file that is equipped with a carbide cutter after you remove
the wrapper band. This will eliminate any carbon or rough edges that affect the integrity of the weld.
Note: The rotary file is used to remove any abrasive particles that may have been embedded in the surface by the grinder. This prevents contamination of the
weld bead.
5. Inspect the inner circumferential weld of the hub. If a crack is present, use the carbon cutting process to remove the crack. Take care not to cut through the hub.
Use the rotary file to clean up the area and remove any carbon or rough edges.
6. Preheat the weld groove and the surrounding area to at least 93 °C (200 °F).
Note: The temperature for the rest of the wheel should be at least 21 °C (70 °F) before welding the wheel. This temperature should be maintained while the
wheel is welded.
7. Follow the "Process for Welding and Consumables for Fabricated Wheels" section of this guideline for the correct parameters for welding for the inner
circumferential weld of the hub.
8. After completing the repair, allow the wheel to cool slowly to 21 °C (70 °F).

Procedure to Remove the Ring
1. Remove all oil, grease, paint, dirt, and other material from the area.
2. Remove the surface oxides within 25 mm (1.0 inch) of both sides of the weld area.
3. Protect all the machined areas from sparks or spatter that is produced by the carbon cutting, welding, and the process for grinding.
4. Remove the old ring from the hub.
Note: A vertical lathe or a vertical mill is the preferred method for removing the old ring from the hub. This will reduce the chances of distortion when the old
ring is removed. If a lathe is not available, use the carbon cutting process to remove the existing ring from the hub. Make shallow cuts to prevent destroying the
geometry of the existing weld joint.
Note: Control distortion by arranging the cutting and the welding. This is important because distortion will affect the bearing bore and the dimensions of the
flange.

Use a shielding gas of Carbon Dioxide or 75% Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide at 0.992 cubic meters per hour (35 cubic feet per minute).
NOTICE

1. Before attaching the ground cable of the welder to the base of the positioner, check the specifications of the manufacturer to make sure that the machine is
designed to allow the cable to be attached at the base. If the machine is not designed to allow the cable to be attached at the base, attach the ground cable
directly to the wheel. The current from welding will destroy the bearings if the current is allowed to flow through the bearings. Do NOT allow the welding
current to travel through bearings or hydraulic cylinders. Protect all hydraulic cylinders, struts, hoses, and machined surfaces from sparks and spatter that
is produced by the welding, chipping, and grinding operations.
2. Locate any cracks and remove any cracks that were caused by carbon gouging or grinding. Gouge the crack or grind the crack to the bottom of the crack.
Gouge the crack or grind the crack to a minimum of 18.0 mm (0.7 inch) past each end of the crack. Use a rotary file to dress the area and remove any carbon or
rough edges. Remove all slag or spatter and clean the joint of the repair. Use magnetic particle inspection in adequate light to verify that all cracks have been
removed.
Note: Machining is an alternate method for removing cracks. Machine only the minimum amount of material that is necessary to ensure the total removal of the
crack.
Note: The temperature for the rest of the wheel should be at least 21 °C (70 °F) before welding.
4. Repair the weld joint by using stringer welds. Remove the slag after each pass to avoid possible slag inclusions. The size of the weld pass should not exceed a
width of 8 mm (0.32 inch).
Note: An alternate welding process is using a E10018-D2 stick electrode. Keep the size of the weld pass to less than two times the diameter of the electrode.
An acceptable alternative welding wire is Tri-Mark TM1-05D2 Flux Cored Wire.
5. Allow the wheel assembly to cool slowly to room temperature after the process for welding. Then check the dimensions of the wheel assembly. All dimensions
must be within the specified tolerance prior to the final assembly.
6. Check the quality of the weld during the entire repair process. The areas of repair of the wheel must be free from cracks, porosity, undercut, and incomplete
fusion. Weld quality must conform to AWS D1.1 or D14.3 qualifications.
Dimension For Cast Steel Wheels
The following tables and illustrations provide the important dimensions for inspecting the wheels during repair and following repair.
Note: All radii must be a minimum of 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) and all edges must be deburred.

Salvage of Bolt and Stud Holes

Repair Procedure For Outer Rear Wheel Mounting Flange
Example of a Full-Torque threaded Insert
The bolt holes on the outer mounting flange of the rear wheel can be salvaged with Full-Torque threaded Inserts. Full-Torque threaded Inserts use unique external
threads. These inserts will contain the force that spreads of the fastener. These inserts will only transfer a radial force that draws the surrounding material. Full-Torque
threaded Inserts can be used on ductile iron wheels and steel wheels.
Full Torque Thread Insert Kits
Refer to the following tables for the appropriate Kits. 784B, 784C, 785, 785B, 785C, 789, 789B, and 789C bolt holes can be repaired by using the 263-7140 Full
Torque Thread Insert Kit (1 inch thread) that can be found in Table 29. 793 through 793C bolt holes can be repaired by using the 263-7141 Full-Torque Thread Insert

Repair Procedure For Inner Rear Wheel Mounting Flange
1. Use an applicable ring for the wheel or construct a template to determine the axis of the damaged hole. Refer to the "Machining and Dimensions" section of this
guideline for the specifications and the locations of the holes.
2. Refer to Table 34 for the applicable hole size. If necessary, order the applicable replacement stud. Refer to Table 35.
3. Fill the damaged hole by welding. Refer to the following section "Weld Repair of Bolt or Stud Holes".
4. Machine both sides of the flange before drilling.
5. Maintain the original axis and drill the hole to the original specifications by using a standard drill. If oversize replacement studs are used, drill the hole to the
appropriate size. Refer to Table 35.
Note: If the wheel has taperlock studs, refer to Table 34 for the proper information on drilling holes and tapping holes for taperlock studs.
Note: Some wheels require a chamfer on the holes on the back side of the flange. Refer to Table 34 for more information.

Weld Repair of Bolt or Stud Holes
Note: Repairing bolt holes and stud holes by using welding can only be done on steel cast wheels or on steel fabricated wheels. No welding should be performed on
ductile iron wheels.
Inspection
The wheel must be inspected before any welding procedure is performed. An inspection for cracks must be performed to prevent failure of the wheel after the salvage
operation. Remove any corrosion that covers up unacceptable defects. The acceptable inspection methods are the dye penetrant and the magnetic particle inspection.
Process and Consumables
Caterpillar recommends using:
• Gas Metal Arc Welding
• AWS A5.5-69 E10018-D2 Electrode
Preparation and Welding
1. Remove all oil, grease, paint, dirt, and other material from the area. Remove surface oxides within a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) on either side of the welding
area.
2. Protect all machined areas from sparks or spatter that is produced by carbon cutting, welding, and grinding.
3. The temperature of the wheel should be at least 21 °C (70 °F) before any cutting or welding.
4. Drill an oversized hole at the location of the damaged hole. Chamfer the top of the hole. Make sure that all the old threads are removed. Make sure that any
corrosion that was in the bottom of the hole is removed.
5. Preheat the area that surrounds the hole to at least 93 °C (200 °F).
6. Make sure that no voids or gaps are left in the hole that might weaken the structure when you are welding.
7. Allow the welded hole to cool slowly to room temperature. After the surface has reached room temperature, machine the surface so that the surface is flush
with the rest of the flange.
8. Refer to Table 31, Table 34, or Table 35 for the proper specifications for finishing the proper hole in the wheel.
Note: If the wheel has Taperlock studs, refer to Table 34 for the proper information on drilling and tapping a hole for a Taperlock stud.
9. After machining the new hole, the wheel needs to be cleaned and repainted to avoid corrosion.
Machining and Dimensions
Dimensions are provided for the proper locations of the holes. Most of the hole locations are located from the center of the wheel.
A CNC machine can be used for locating the true position of the holes. A template could be used to locate the holes.
The following sections are divided by truck models. The sections provide the dimensions that are necessary to drill the holes.

Crack Detection Methods
NOTICE
Regardless of which crack detection method is used, it is important

that the instructions furnished with the detection equipment are
followed closely when checking any parts. Failure to do so may cause
inaccurate results.
Inspection personnel can reference ASTM E165 and E709 for further details on inspection processes.
Personnel who perform examinations in accordance with this guide shall be qualified and certified. Individuals must be certified for Magnetic Particle Inspection at a
minimum Level I in accordance with ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A or ASNT CP-189.
Crack detection methods commonly used are liquid penetrant, dry magnetic particle, wet magnetic particle, and ultrasonic testing. There may be more than one
acceptable crack detection method for the inspection of a given part, although the liquid penetrant is the most versatile. Select the method that best fits your shop's
operation. Sometimes, characteristics of a particular part may prevent the use of certain inspection systems.
For example, a liquid penetrant system cannot be used to inspect for subsurface cracks in a steel part. Use Table 50 to determine the best system for the type of
structure being inspected. The wet magnetic particle inspection method is best used when inspecting smooth machined components such as shafts, gear teeth, and
splines. If the wet magnetic particle inspection method is not available, it can be substituted with the liquid penetrant examination method.
Table 50
Crack Inspection Method Advantages vs. Disadvantages

Inspection Method Advantages Disadvantages
- Least expensive
- Minimal training - Least sensitive
Liquid Penetrant
- Portable - Detects surface cracks only
- Works on nonmagnetic material
- Portable - Works on magnetic material only
Dry Magnetic Particle
- Fast - Less sensitive than Wet Magnetic Particle
- Requires Power for Light
- More sensitive than Liquid Penetrant
Wet Magnetic Particle - Works on magnetic parts only
- Detects subsurface as much as 0.13 mm (0.005 inch)
- Liquid composition and agitation must be monitored
- Most sensitive - Most expensive
Ultrasonic Testing
- Detects deep material defects - Requires operator training and certification
Liquid Penetrant Examination
Personal injury can result from improper handling of chemicals.
Make sure you use all the necessary protective equipment required to do
the job.
Make sure that you read and understand all directions and hazards
described on the labels and material safety data sheet of any chemical
that is used.
Observe all safety precautions recommended by the chemical

manufacturer for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals.
Materials and Equipment Required
Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.
• Cleaner: Removes dirt before dye application and dissolves the penetrant making possible to wipe the surface clean.
• Penetrant: This solution is highly visible, and will seep into openings at the surface of a part with capillary action.
• Developer: Provides a blotting action, bringing the penetrant out of the discontinuities and providing a contrasting background to increase the visibility of the
penetrant indications.
• Wire Brush: Removes dirt and paint.
• Cloth or Wipes: Use with cleaner and for other miscellaneous uses.
Procedure
1. Preclean inspection area. Spray on cleaner to loosen any scale, dirt, or any oil. Wipe the area to inspect with a solvent dampened cloth to remove remaining dirt
and allow the area to dry. If there is visible crack remove paint using paint remover or wire brush.
2. Apply penetrant by spraying to the entire area to be examined. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for penetrant to soak. After the penetrant has been allowed to soak,
remove the excess penetrant with clean, dry wipe.
3. The last traces of penetrant should be removed with the cleaner solvent dampened cloth or wipe. Allow the area to dry thoroughly.
4. Before using developer make sure that, it is mixed thoroughly by shaking can. Holding can approximately 8-12 inches away from part, apply an even, thin layer
of developer over the area being inspected. A few thin layers are a better application method than one thick layer.
5. Allow the developer to dry completely for 10–15 minutes before inspecting for cracks. Defects will show as (A) red lines in white developer background. Clean
the area of application of the developer with solvent cleaner.
Dry Magnetic Particle Inspection
• Crack Detection Kit
(A) Indications shown by magnetic particle testing.
(B) Typical electromagnetic yoke.
(C) Dry powder bulb.
1. Dry magnetic powder shall be of high permeability and low retentively and of suitable sizes and shapes to produce magnetic particle indications. The powder
shall be of a color that will provide adequate contrast with the background of the surface being inspected.
2. Dry magnetic particles shall be stored in suitable containers to resist contamination such as moisture, grease, oil, non-magnetic particles such as sand, and
excessive heat. Contaminants will manifest in the form of particle color change and particle agglomeration. The degree of contamination will determine further
use of the powder.
3. Dry magnetic powder shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E709 Section 18 (Evaluation of System Performance/Sensitivity) when not performing.
4. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This
coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the
electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lb).
5. Check dry powder blower routinely to ensure that the spray is a light, uniform, dust-like coating of the dry magnetic particles. Blower should also have
sufficient force to remove excess particles without disturbing those particles that are evidence of indications.
6. All equipment shall be inspected at a minimum of once a year or when accuracy is questionable.
Procedure
1. Insure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and other contaminants.
2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the faces and inside diameter of each bore.
3. Simultaneously apply the dry powder using the dry powder blower.
4. Remove excess powder by lightly blowing away the dry particles.
5. Continue around the entire circumference of each bore. Position the yoke twice in each area at 1.57 rad (90°) to ensure that multiple directions of the magnetic
field are created.
6. Observe particles and note if any clusters of particles appear revealing an indication.
7. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities or indications found.
Wet Magnetic Particle Inspection

(A) Indications shown by magnetic particle testing.
(B) Typical electromagnetic yoke.
(D) UV lamp used in wet/liquid magnetic particle inspection process.
1. Wet magnetic particles are fluorescent and are suspended in a vehicle in a given concentration that will allow application to the test surface by spraying.
2. Concentration:
a. The concentration of the suspended magnetic particles shall be as specified by the manufacturer and be checked by settling volume measurements.
b. Concentrations are determined by measuring the settling volume by using an ASTM pear shaped centrifuge tube with a 1 mL (0.034 oz) stem with
0.05 mL (0.0017 oz) divisions. Before sampling, the suspension shall be thoroughly mixed to assure suspension of all particles, which could have settled.
A 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample of the suspension shall be taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes. The settling volume should be between 0.1 mL
(0.0034 oz) and 0.25 mL (0.0085 oz) in a 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample.
c. Wet magnetic particles may be suspended in a low viscosity oil or conditioned water.
d. The oil shall have the following characteristics:
◾ Low viscosity not to exceed 50 met (5.0 cSt) at any temperature at which the vehicle is to be used.
◾ Low inherent fluorescence and be non-reactive.
e. The conditioning agents used in the conditioned water shall have the following characteristics:
◾ Impart good wetting characteristics and good dispersion.
◾ Minimize foaming and be non-corrosive.
◾ Low viscosity shall not exceed a maximum viscosity of 50 mSt (5.0 cSt) at 38° C (100° F).
◾ Non-fluorescent, non-reactive, and odorless.
◾ Alkalinity shall not exceed a pH of 10.5.
3. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This
coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the
electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lb).
Procedure
1. Insure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and any other contaminants.
2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the surface in the area to be inspected.
3. For case hardened and ground surfaces:
◦ Sensitivity required to locate the grinding cracks. Inspection of case hardened and ground surfaces require that the yoke is applied so that the magnetic
field is 1.57 rad (90°) to the expected direction of the indications. Due to the increased sensitivity resulting while the yoke is energized, the yoke is not
moved until the evaluation is completed in the first direction. An AC yoke shall be used.
4. Visually inspect for indications of discontinuities using the proper illumination.
5. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities found.
