577 Threaded union sealant (prevents loosening and leakages caused by vibrations)
603 Retainer for cylindrical assemblies (bearings, rings etc.)
638 Strong retainer for cylindrical assemblies (bearings, rings etc.)
648 Strong retainer for cylindrical assemblies (resistant to high temperatures)

5922 Sealant paste for ± flexible unions (sensor attachments etc.)
7100 Leakage detector for pneumatic systems

NOTE: Use the product "Form A gasket 2" when sealing between plastic material and cast iron or steel.

Application method for Loctite products


1. Remove all traces of previous sealants and corrosion
• mechanically: wire brush or emery cloth
• chemically: "DECAPLOC 88" (Leave the product to take effect then scrape off and wipe clean).
2. Degrease the components with dry solvent: preferably use "Super Solvant Sec LOCTITE 706".
3. Allow the solvents to evaporate
4. Apply the recommended type of LOCTITE product to the parts:
• For all blind tapped holes, apply a quantity of the product to the last threads at the bottom of the
hole.
• for cylindrical fittings, apply the product on the two mating faces using a clean brush.
• for mating faces, apply a bead to one of the two faces, circling the holes, and then tighten as quickly
as possible.
NOTE:
• Do not use too much of the compound, in order to avoid locking adjacent parts.
• Do not attempt to retighten after 5 minutes of curing, in order to avoid breaking the film of compound.
• If the ambient temperature is less than +10°C and to ensure quicker setting of Loctite products (except
SILICOMET), use LOCTITE T 747 activator on at least one of the two parts after phase 2. Excess
product outside the joint will not harden (anaerobic products — curing takes place only when there is no
oxygen).

Grease
When grease is used in components in contact with transmission oil, use grease that is miscible with oil to
avoid blocking the hydraulic filters.

1.1.7.2 Tightening torques for screws and nuts


Use the tightening torques recommended for screws and nuts according to the tables below:
• 1 and 2 for metric threads
• 3, 4, 5 and 6 for threads in inches
When a specific torque is required, this is stated in the text.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 1-21


ACT0021460
1. Introduction

Tables 1, 3 and 5 indicate the normal tightening torque values to apply to threaded zinc-plated elements,
with normal nuts, coarse or fine threads, and with or without a flat washer or lock washer, and weldable
nuts with a height greater than or equal to 0.8 d.
Tables 2, 4 and 6 indicate the reduced tightening torque values to apply to threaded elements in
assemblies with zinc-plated self-locking locknuts, phosphated or zinc-flake-coated nuts or screws, thin
nuts, weldable nuts with a height of less than 0.8 d.
To check these torque values, loosen the threaded element by one quarter turn and then retighten.
These values apply to dry assemblies. If the threads are oiled, reduce the tightening torques.
NOTE:
Read the tensile grade on the screw head and determine the corresponding torque to be applied.

1.2.2.3 Calibrating the rear linkage


Calibrating the rear linkage
Adjusting the position sensor
For correct linkage calibration, ensure that the position sensor is fitted properly.
Calibration is the only way to obtain precise linkage positioning.

Procedure
1. Position the mark on the rotating shaft on the
same side as the connector.
2. Tighten the sensor approximately in the
center of the ports. After adjusting, calibrate
the linkage.

Fig. 8
Calibration procedure and purpose
The linkage must be calibrated after changing:
• a linkage solenoid valve
• the position sensor
• the linkage height/depth setting potentiometer
• the controller or software type.
The purpose of this calibration is:
• to define the high and low stops of the linkage for optimum use of the linkage travel
• to measure sensor signals to obtain maximum linkage position precision according to the
setting potentiometer
• to measure the solenoid valve starter currents that start to move the linkage
3.
Preliminary steps
4. Hitch a weight of approximately 500 kg to the linkage.
5. Check that, with the hitch, the linkage moves through its entire operating range, between the upper
and lower stops.
6. Position the tractor in a location where the linkage can operate freely, and ensure that no one can
enter the area of linkage travel throughout the calibration process.

1.2.2.8 Calibration of the Dyna-4 and Dyna-6 PowerShuttle transmission


Calibration of the Dyna-4 and Dyna-6 PowerShuttle transmission

Conditions for calibration


DANGER:
The tractor must be positioned on flat ground to carry out the calibration procedure.

NOTE: Calibration of the PowerShuttle is mandatory when the following components are changed:
• a PowerShuttle solenoid valve
• the solenoid valve control unit
• the PowerShuttle unit or one of its components
• the transmission controller.

NOTE:
The reduced temperature range allowed for calibration enables the controller to optimize the quality of
shifting by continually correcting it depending on the transmission temperature.
Calibration is automatic, which allows a deft and smooth quality of shifting.
The user can then, depending on requirements, adjust the progressivity of the PowerShuttle.
IMPORTANT: To authorize access to calibration mode, the transmission oil temperature should be
between 35 °C and 45 °C.
The temperature is measured by the sensor fitted on the gearbox.
It can be read in two different ways:

Procedure
1. Scroll through the Setup and Information
Screen screen menus on the instrument
panel in order to display diagnostic screen 1.
2. Read using the diagnostic tool EDT.

3.1 Tier 4F/Stage IV SCR Technology engine 4 cylinders


3.1.1 General

3.1.1.1 Notice to the technician


Engines in the Tier 4 Final/Stage IV phase are generally constructed to the same model: the repair
instructions will therefore usually apply to different engine types. The differences between engine types
that do affect repair work are explained in the technical specifications and repair instructions. All
measurements are made in millimeters and are valid when the room temperature is +20°C, unless
otherwise indicated.

3.1.1.2 Safety instructions


When using and servicing an engine, there is always a risk of injury. Before carrying out any servicing work,
make sure you have read and correctly understood the following safety instructions and information!
• Do not begin any repair work until you have completely understood the procedure.
• Ensure that the location chosen to carry out the repair work, as well as the immediate surroundings,
provide a safe working environment.
• Always check that the space is clean and tidy.
• Do not use faulty or unsuitable tools.
• Remove any jewelry (rings, chains and watches) before starting.
• Use new protective equipment during the operation. For example, wear safety goggles for protection
when using compressed air for cleaning, grinding, striking etc.
• Use a lifting device to raise and transport heavy items (more than 20 kg). Make sure all lifting hooks and
chains are in good condition. The engine lifting rings should not be subjected to lateral forces during
lifting.
• Never work beneath an engine raised by a lifting device or jack. Always check that supports are sound
before starting.
• Only use genuine Massey Ferguson spare parts.
• Only start the engine using the start switch in the cab.
• Do not start the engine unless all protective covers are fitted.
NOTE:
It is difficult to see the fan clearly while the engine is running! Make sure baggy clothes and long hair
cannot be caught up in the rotating parts of the engine.
• If the engine is running in a closed space, make sure the ventilation system is operating correctly.
• Never use aerosol as a cold-starting aid! (risk of explosion)
• When the engine is running or when working close to machinery, use ear protection to prevent hearing
loss.
• Always stop the engine before starting any maintenance or repair work.
• Take care not to touch the exhaust manifold, turbocharger or any other hot part of the engine.
• Take care when opening the radiator cap if the engine is still hot, because the cooling system is
pressurized. The coolant and lubricating oil of a hot engine can cause injury on contact with skin.
• Keep naked flames, smoke and sparks away from the fuel system and batteries at all times, especially
when charging the batteries, because there is a risk of explosion.
• Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal when maintaining or repairing the electrical circuit.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 3-3


ACT0021460
3. Engine

• At temperatures above 300°C for example, if the engine is on fire, the fluorocarbon elastomer engine
seals (i.e. the "O" ring on the lower cylinder liner) emit hydrofluoric acid, which is highly corrosive. Do
not touch the fluorinated rubber seals with your bare hands when they are exposed to excessively high
temperatures. Always wear neoprene or reinforced gloves and protective goggles for decontamination
work. Wash the seals and the contaminated area with a 10% calcium hydroxide solution or other alkali
solution. Place any materials that you remove in sealed plastic bags and take them to the appropriate
disposal site specified by the authorities concerned.
NOTE:
Never burn fluorinated rubber seals to destroy them!
• When checking the fuel injectors, do not allow the jet of high-pressure fuel to come into contact with
skin. If fuel penetrates the skin, it can cause serious injury. Seek medical advice immediately!
• Fuel, lubricating oil and coolant can cause prolonged irritation if they come into contact with skin.
• When welding or carrying out similar operations requiring a high voltage current, it is strongly
recommended that you disconnect the main connector of the EEM3 control unit before starting.
• Avoid running the engine at idle speed unnecessarily.
• Do not allow oil or any other liquid to spill on the floor during engine maintenance.
• All engine seals are asbestos-free.
• Take care when cleaning the engine with high-pressure cleaning equipment. Do not use high-pressure
equipment to wash electrical equipment, the fuel system, the radiator etc. because they are very
fragile.

3. Engine

3.1.2.2 Mechanical part


The Tier 4F/Stage IV SCR Technology engine used
is a diesel engine with in-line cylinders, water
cooling and four or six cylinders, depending on the
cubic capacity. The engine has one or two
turbochargers depending on the cubic capacity.
This engine has a rigid and splined cylinder block.
The mobile engine parts are able to withstand
boost pressure. The cylinder head screws are
highly resistant to traction.

Fig. 5

Cylinder block
The cylinder block is the main component of the engine, and the other engine parts are attached to it. The
wet, replaceable cylinder liners are supported by the middle in order to reduce vibration and essentially
direct the coolant flow toward the top of the liners.
"O" rings are fitted in the grooves of the cylinder block on these engines. The top part is sealed by the
cylinder head seal.
The camshaft is located in the cylinder block. On these engines, separate bearing sleeves are fitted on all
camshaft bearing locations. The drilled port at the rear end of the camshaft is blocked with a plug.
Spaces on both sides of the rear bearing allow guide-bearing shims to be fitted (crankshaft thrust bearings).

Flywheel housing
The flywheel housing is fitted at the back of the cylinder block. The seal at the rear end of the crankshaft is
fitted into a bore in the housing. The starter attachment point is fitted in the flywheel housing.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 3-7


ACT0021460
3. Engine

The lower part of the flywheel housing functions as a friction surface for the oil sump seal. For this reason,
the lower part of the cylinder block must be fitted at the same level as the flywheel housing. When
installing the flywheel housing, its position is determined by tensioning pins.

Valve mechanism
The valve mechanism is activated by the camshaft located in the cylinder block. Movement is transmitted
via the valve lifters and rocker arm rods. The camshaft gear is fitted with a nut and fixed with a key. Each
bearing is lubricated by the pressurized lubricating system via oil channels drilled in the cylinder block.

Cylinder head, 4 V engines


The engines used are fitted with two cylinder heads. Each cylinder has four valves. The injector may be
located in the middle of the four valves. The injector is fitted vertically at the center of the cylinder, in the
middle of the combustion chamber. This allows a precise, homogenous mix of fuel and air, and ensures
that the clean and low emission combustion takes place efficiently.
Each cylinder has its own inlet and exhaust ports located to either side of the cylinder head. Each cylinder
has its own inlet port, but there is only one exhaust port for the two exhaust valves of the cylinder. The
cylinder head inlet does not have a port to channel water. Water can therefore not mix with the inlet air.
The cylinder head bolts are highly resistant to traction and are tightened to maximum capacity via the angle
tightening method. Because they have been lengthened significantly, the tightening force is maintained at
a constant level for the complete lifetime of the parts, and the bolts will not need to be retightened.
The locations of the injector and lateral supply pipe are machined directly into the cylinder head. The port
intended for the lateral supply pipe is located between the inlet ports. The inlet and exhaust valve guides
are identical and can be interchanged. Exhaust valves are fitted with separate seat rings. Very powerful
engines are also fitted with separate inlet valve seats.

Mobile engine components


The crankshaft is forged from a special chrome alloy steel. However, the bearing and seal friction surfaces
of this part are hardened by induction. It is therefore possible to regrind the bearings up to four times
before applying a new heat treatment. The gears are located at the front end of the crankshaft. They are
force fitted and drive the idler wheel and oil pump. In addition, the front end of the crankshaft is splined to
fit the hub of the V belt pulley. The engine hub is fixed to the crankshaft using a gasket cone. The oil
deflector is located between the hub and the gear.
The crankshaft is supported on the cylinder block by bearings fitted to either side of each cylinder. The
bearings therefore number one more than the cylinders. The crankshaft thrust washers are positioned to
either side of the rearmost bearing.
The rear end of the crankshaft is fitted with a flywheel which includes a force fitted starter crown wheel.
The transverse cross section of the forged connecting rod is an "I" shape. The bearing housing at the lower
end of the rod is divided in two, and the bearing cup is fixed using two special lengthened screws. The top
part has a wedge-shaped bearing housing into which the gudgeon pin bush is force fitted.
The piston is made from an aluminum eutectic alloy. The top part of the piston comprises a combustion
chamber. The shape of this chamber is designed to optimize the air-fuel mix. The housing for the top ring is
formed in a cast iron ring, which has itself been cast in the piston. In addition, the piston is covered in
graphite to ensure smooth running in.
The piston has three rings. The top ring has a molybdenum covering and a wedge-shaped transversal cross
section. On some slightly turbocharged engines, the top ring is fitted at a right angle. The middle ring is
tapered and fits into the groove. The angle compensates for the clearance. The oil control ring comprises a
spring and is fitted with a two-level chrome-plated scraper edge. Some four-cylinder engines are fitted with
a balancing unit. The eccentric weights, which rotate at twice the engine speed, balance out the vibrations
caused by the movement of the pistons and mobile engine components.

NOTE: Some components may look slightly different, but the principle and location remain the same.
The engine air intake filtration system (4) consists of a suction tube and a main filter. The incoming air must
pass through the main filter cartridge, which can be cleaned if necessary. The internal safety filter prevents
impurities from entering inside the engine if the main filter cartridge should fail or is incorrectly fitted. An
electrical or mechanical maintenance indicator may be fitted to the filter body or the inlet pipe to warn of
any filter cartridge obstruction. The exhaust manifold is connected to the cylinder head by high traction
resistance bolts, with no separate gasket. It is not necessary to retighten the manifold bolts. The
turbocharger (2) is driven by the exhaust fumes. It is controlled by an electric wastegate. It is lubricated and
cooled by the engine lubricating system. The air from the air filter (4) enters at a temperature of
approximately 25 C. When it leaves the turbocharger it has a temperature of approximately 180°C. Then
the air compressed by the turbo is directed toward the air to air heat exchanger, located at the front of the
tractor. Cooling of the compressed air to approximately 150°C stabilizes combustion, regardless of the
temperature, and minimizes the mechanical and thermal load on the engine, thus reducing the level of
nitrous oxides (NOx) and particulates (PT).

3.1.5 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

3.1.5.1 Adjustments

Adjusting valve clearances


Checking and adjusting valve clearances
Valve clearance, which can be adjusted when the engine is either hot or cold, is 0.35 mm for both inlet and
exhaust valves. It is adjusted when the corresponding piston is at TDC in the compression stroke. The
valves of different cylinders are adjusted in the same sequence as the order of injection. Several tractor
components need to be removed in order to adjust the valve tip clearances.
Settings
1. Turn the crankshaft in the direction of
operation until the valves of the 4th cylinder
are rocking (exhaust closed, inlet open).
Check the valve clearance of the 1st cylinder.
2. Loosen the locknut on the adjustment screw.
3. Check the clearance with a depth gage and
adjust by turning the adjustment screw.
4. Tighten the locknut and check the clearance
again.
5. Turn the crankshaft one third-turn in the
direction of operation to rock the valves of
the 3rd cylinder. Check the valves of the 2nd
cylinder. Fig. 18

3.2 SCR Technology 3rd generation


3.2.1 General

3.2.1.1 Notice to the technician

Fig. 29

Selective Catalytic Reduction, also known as SCR Technology, is a process applied to the emissions from
diesel engines, designed to meet emissions control standards. In the SCR Technology process, a diesel
emissions reducing agent in the form of an aqueous DEF or AdBlue™™ solution is injected into the exhaust
fumes in order to convert nitrous oxide (NOx) into a harmless mixture of nitrogen and water vapor.
SCR Technology is a simple nitrous oxide (NOx) after-treatment system that offers the following
advantages:
• fuel savings
• a simple solution that requires no modification to current engine cooling systems Because it is possible
to reduce the recirculation rate of exhaust fumes, engine performance can be increased and the
operating temperature lowered.
• very little maintenance is required
• a proven and reliable method
The SCR Technology system comprises a DEF or AdBlue™™ tank, an injector, a dosing control unit, some
sensors and a catalyst.
The system is automated; the operator has only to monitor the gage and to fill the DEF or AdBlue™™ tank
as required. There are warnings of low DEF or AdBlue™™ level similar to the warnings for other fluids,
such as the low fuel level warning.
DEF or AdBlue™™ is a mixture comprising 67.5% water and 32.5% urea. DEF or AdBlue™™ is a non-
hazardous nitrogen product that is also used in fertilizers.

3.2.2 Principles of operation

3.2.2.1 Principles of operation


The principle of the SCR Technology is based on the following components: An DEF or AdBlue™™ tank
fitted inside the fuel tank, an DEF or AdBlue™™ spool valve, an injector and a catalyzer. The engine is not
really involved in the process other than to deliver the optimum combustion ratios and exchange
information from the various sensors that control it.
The three main lines of the system are:
• The DEF or AdBlue™™ tank fitted inside the fuel tank
• The DEF or AdBlue™™ additive injected into the exhaust fumes in the form of a fine spray
• In the catalyzer, the heat of the exhaust fumes converts the nitrous oxides into harmless nitrogen gas
and water vapor.
The consumption of DEF or AdBlue™™ is approximately 6 to 8%. This proportion is controlled
electronically using the input and output sensors on the DOC (catalyseur d'oxydation diesel) and on the
exhaust outlet.

Normal operating phase


When the engine has reached an exhaust temperature above 200 °C, the DEF or AdBlue™™ injection can
begin.
To do this, the DEF or AdBlue™™ stored in its specific tank (9) is sucked in through the sender unit (10) by
a diaphragm pump located in the Denoxtronic module (1).
The DEF or AdBlue™™ which flows through a prefilter and a main filter (2) is directed to the injector.
As the Denoxtronic module (1) is connected to the EEM4 control unit (4) via the auxiliary engine CAN
network, it is able to adjust the injection, namely the amount of DEF or AdBlue™™ injected, based on the
instantaneous fuel consumption.
The variable flow rate injector (3) is then electrically controlled in order to inject a spray of DOC (catalyseur
d'oxydation diesel) into the DEF or AdBlue™™ (5) to reduce the pollution generated by the internal
combustion of the engine.
During this normal operating phase, several critical points are controlled by parallel systems and the
electronic system.
For example, the coolant line of the injector (3) provides continuous cooling of the DEF or AdBlue™™
which, at a temperature above 80 °C, could cause the occurrence of ammonia (very dangerous).
The sender unit (10) continues to monitor the level and warns the user if it approaches the critical
minimum level. The minimum level is 5 l. This level of 5 l ensures normal operation.

Operating phase in low external air temperatures


The external air temperature is an index that can be raised by the engine and the temperature of the DEF
or AdBlue™™ can be raised via the dosing control unit.
This information is sent to the Denoxtronic module, activating a parallel system to quickly heat the DEF or
AdBlue™™ which may be frozen inside the tank.
A pipe coil containing coolant and a rigid pipe on the top of the tank heat the contents of the tank as soon
as the engine coolant has warmed up.
The electronic system locks SCR Technology operation if circulation of the DEF or AdBlue™™ fluid is not
possible over the whole loop. A degraded mode is activated to inform the user and to reduce engine
power.
To allow the coolant to circulate, a solenoid valve opens the heating loop, which is also electrically
controlled by the module.
The parallel coolant/DEF or AdBlue™™ line, which under normal operating conditions cools the DEF or
AdBlue™™ , also enters this phase to heat the DEF or AdBlue™™ system.

ACT0021460
3. Engine

Operating phase after the engine is switched off


After the engine is switched off, the temperature
of the DEF or AdBlue™™ injector causes the
coolant to circulate as a result of the
thermosyphon effect until it reaches the additional
bowl. The hot coolant rises and therefore causes
liquid that is cooler to enter the injector.
The DEF or AdBlue™™ pump is reversed and
sucks in the DEF or AdBlue™™ that remains in the
injector. The injector is controlled at the same
time, and therefore sucks the exhaust fumes until
the injector line is completely empty. This draining
procedure is controlled by the EEM4 engine
controller.
Fig. 31
For this purpose, a 30-minute time delay is preset
in the electric battery isolator, after which the
battery isolator opens.
As a result, after switching off the engine it is
normal for the pump inside the dosing control unit
to continue to supply a flow.

Degraded mode operating phase


The electronic system is able to operate several degraded modes, which are represented by:
• an instrument panel display: flashing indicator lights and error codes
• a reduction in power level
The different degraded modes are more or less obstructive to the user depending on the type of problem
that has occurred.
• DEF or AdBlue™™ level is low: the sender unit indicates the level. If the level is below 10% of the total
tank, a degraded mode will be activated to avoid damaging the system (reduction in power).
• Low external air temperature: when the SCR Technology system is being heated up, a degraded mode
warns the user and protects the system by reducing the power.
• System breakdown: error codes and degraded modes are used to warn of a potential problem.

Normal operating phase


When the temperature of the exhaust gases is greater than 230°C, the injection of DEF or AdBlue™™
begins. The diaphragm pump located in the pump module sucks in the DEF or AdBlue™™ via the sender
unit. The DEF or AdBlue™™ that flows through a prefilter and a main filter is directed to the injector. The
sensors for the exhaust line control the quality of the exhaust gases to optimize the system as required.
The engine controller adapts the injection of DEF or AdBlue™™ by the module. The variable flow rate
injector is electrically controlled in order to inject a mist of DEF or AdBlue™™ into the exhaust line, which,
due to the catalyzer, reduces the pollution generated by the engine internal combustion process. During

MF 5700 SL series tractors 3-37

this normal operating phase, checks on the preheating function, blockage of hoses, NOx sensors and their
operation, DEF or AdBlue™™ pressure sensor, the ability to increase and maintain the pressure of the DEF
or AdBlue™™ , as well as DEF or AdBlue™™ leakage detection, valve reversal function, temperature
sensors operation and NOx emission levels are all continuously monitored. For example, the parallel
coolant line provides continuous cooling of the DEF or AdBlue™™ which, at a temperature above 80°C,
could cause the occurrence of ammonia (very dangerous). The injector is permanently cooled by an engine
coolant bypass to control its temperature and therefore its operating life. The gage continues to monitor
the level and warns the user if it approaches the critical minimum level. The minimum threshold is 5 liters.
These 5 liters ensure normal operation of the system.

Normal operating phase in low external air temperatures


The external air temperature and the temperature of the DEF or AdBlue™™ are monitored by the engine
controller. This information can be picked up by the Denoxtronic module, and can trigger the activation of a
parallel system to quickly heat the DEF or AdBlue™™ , which may be frozen inside the tank. A pipe coil
containing coolant and a rigid pipe on the top of the tank heat the contents of the tank as soon as the
engine coolant has warmed up. The electronic system locks operation of the SCR Technology if circulation
of the DEF or AdBlue™™ fluid is not possible over the whole loop. A degraded mode is activated to inform
the user and to reduce engine power. To allow the coolant to circulate, a solenoid valve opens the heating
loop, which is also electrically controlled by the controller. The parallel coolant/DEF or AdBlue™™ line,
which under normal operating conditions cools the DEF or AdBlue™™ , also enters this phase to heat the
system.

Operating phase after the engine is switched off


After the engine is switched off, the DEF or AdBlue™™ injector is unable to reach very high operating
temperatures. To prevent this during operation, a coolant bypass provides cooling. When the engine is
switched off, the DEF or AdBlue™™ injection stops, but the pump runs in the opposite direction to bleed
the injector and a coolant feed pipe drains through the injector to lower the temperature of the injector. For
this purpose, a 30-minute time delay is preset in the electric battery isolator. As a result, after switching off
the engine, it is normal for the pump inside the metering module to continue to operate.

Operating phase in degraded mode


The electronic system is able to operate several degraded modes, which are represented by: – An
instrument panel display: flashing indicator lights and error codes; – A reduction in power level. The
different degraded modes are more or less obstructive to the user depending on the type of problem that
has occurred. – DEF or AdBlue™™ level is low: the sender unit indicates the level. If the level is below
10% of the total tank, a degraded mode will be activated to avoid damaging the system (reduction in
power). – Low external air temperature: when the SCR Technology system is being heated up, a degraded
mode warns the user and protects the system by reducing the power. – System breakdown: error codes
and degraded modes are used to warn of a potential problem.

liters and is used to store the DEF or AdBlue™™ .
The DEF or AdBlue™™ filler cap is blue, in
accordance with the current standard, in order to
avoid an error by the user when filling.

Fig. 35

The module
The dosing module is a vital component of the
SCR Technology system. It comprises a diaphragm
pump system, a filter and a sensor. It is controlled
by the engine controller. Communication between
the module and the engine controller is ensured by
the engine CAN network, in order to control the
dosage according to the engine load.

Fig. 36

Injector
The injector is located on the exhaust line. It is
controlled by the module and delivers the correct
amount of DEF or AdBlue™™
The injector is cooled by the engine coolant as its
operating temperature must not exceed 600°C. It
is active as soon as its temperature in the exhaust
line exceeds 230°C. It is deactivated when the
ignition is switched off and the exhaust
temperature drops below 230°C. After the engine
is switched off, the module pump continues to run
in order to bleed the injector.

level and directs the flow of DEF or AdBlue™™ .
This sender unit has a coil which directs the
engine coolant to the DEF or AdBlue™™ reservoir
in order to heat the DEF or AdBlue™™ above
-11.5°. Coolant circulation is controlled by a
solenoid valve managed by the engine controller
according to the temperature information.

Catalyzer
The catalyzer is located low on the right-hand side
of the engine. It has two main roles. Reduce the
noise by acting as a muffler, and mix the mixture
of DEF or AdBlue™™ and exhaust gases in order
to minimize the toxic nitrogen oxides Nox by
converting them to nitrogen N2 and water H2O.

This section is mainly limited to a description of the gearbox. Only a partial description will be given here of
each major component, as more specific and detailed descriptions are given in their respective sections.

Gear reduction module (Dyna-6 only)


The gear reduction module is fitted at the gearbox input. It enables ratios E and F to be obtained by
applying overdrive to ratios C and D respectively of the Dynashift module.
The multiplier comprises an epicyclic gear train, a brake and a multidisc clutch.
The brake is controlled hydraulically by a proportional solenoid valve with an ON/OFF control, and the
multidisc clutch is controlled mechanically by this brake.
The two ratios provided by this module are 1/1 and 1.423/1.

Dynashift module
This module provides four ratios for shifting under load (A, B, C and D).
The Dynashift module comprises two epicyclic gear trains, two brakes and two multidisc clutches.
The brakes are controlled hydraulically by two proportional solenoid valves with an ON/OFF control, and the
clutches are controlled mechanically, engaged by the Belleville springs and disengaged by the brakes
located in the same module.

PowerShuttle
The PowerShuttle is fitted in the center of the gearbox. It links the ratios for shifting under load with the
gearbox.
The PowerShuttle comprises two multidisc wet clutches controlled by two proportional solenoid valves
with PWM control.
A layshaft enables reverse position.

Robotic gearbox
The gearbox has four ranges. The ratios are selected by two hydraulically-controlled synchronisers.
Gearbox input drive is supplied by the Dynashift.
The four gearbox ranges are automated, so all ratios can be engaged or disengaged automatically by the
tractor's electronic management system without intervention by the driver.

Super creeper module


A unit fitted on the secondary shaft, to the rear of the gearbox, enables very slow travel speeds. This
system consists of a series of locking gear wheels, providing a reduction of 14/1.
The super creeper gears are engaged electrohydraulically by a switch in the cab.

Lubrication
Lubrication is provided by the tractor's hydraulic system. Oil arrives at two points located on the right-hand
side of the gearbox housing. Oil flows to the bearings and clutches to be lubricated via internal channels in
the gearbox shafts.

5.1.2 Principles of operation

5.1.2.1 Construction and description


The GBA25 gearbox provides four basic synchronized ratios and four or six ratios for shifting under load.
The ratios can be engaged manually or automatically in forward gear and reverse gear, without using the
clutch pedal.
The gearbox housing is divided into two sections:

5-8 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

• front housing: fitted just behind the engine, this supports the shifting under load section of the
transmission (multiplier module [Dyna-6] and Dynashift module) and the PowerShuttle.
• rear housing: fitted behind the front housing, this supports the robotic mechanical gearbox.

Construction of the main gearbox


The PTO shaft (31), which links the engine flywheel to the PTO clutch at the front of the rear axle, crosses
the main gearbox from one side to the other. This shaft turns at the center of a series of shafts forming the
upper shaftline.
In the rear housing (1), a vertical compartment (2) supports the front bearings (5) (6) and (38) (39) of the
primary (4) and secondary (32) gearbox shafts. It also contains the lubricating channels.
The housings are bolted together and act as an oil tank for the tractor's hydraulic system.
The main gearbox comprises four synchronized ratios with two synchronisers (15) and (54). Four gear
trains are distributed on the two shafts (4) and (32).
Each ratio is obtained by engaging only one synchroniser at a time.
The primary shaft (4) is supported by two tapered roller bearings (5) (6) and (27) (28). Clearance is ensured
by the shims (3) fitted under the bearing cup (5).
The secondary shaft (32) is also supported by two tapered roller bearings (38) (39) and (34) (33). Clearance
is ensured by the shims (43) fitted under the bearing cup (38).
Primary shaft (4)
On the primary shaft (4), the 1st and 3rd gears are integral and form a double gear (7) that turns idle on the
shaft. This assembly is supported by two tapered roller bearings (11) (12) and (13) (14) fitted in an X shape,
and two needle roller bearings (20) and (21).
The position of the bearings (11) (12) and (13) (14) is adjusted by shims (10).
The 4th gear (26) rotates idle and is supported by a lubricated bush (25).
Secondary shaft (32)
On the secondary shaft, the 2nd gear (52) turns idle. It is supported by two tapered roller bearings (48) (49)
and (50) (51) fitted in an X shape, and a needle roller bearing (55).
The bearings (48) (49) and (50) (51) are adjusted by shims (47). The 2nd gear (52) acts as an axis of rotation
for the 1st gear (53), which turns without a bearing. The friction surface is lubricated by internal channels.
The double cone synchroniser (54) is fitted on the 2nd gear and is meshed with the gears (53) or (37.)
The 3rd (37) and 4th (35) gears are splined to the secondary shaft (32).

Construction of the Dyna-6 Powershift module


The Powershift section of the GBA25 transmission is fitted behind the engine flywheel.
Each module is fitted in a cast iron housing screwed into the gearbox housing. The Powershift section is
divided into two modules:
• Multiplier module
The multiplier module comprises an epicyclic gear train, a clutch and a brake.
The primary shaft (62) is connected to the planet carrier (68). It links the PTO shaft and engine flywheel.
The clutch disks (59) are splined to the primary shaft (62). The backing plates of the clutch (59) are
integral with the clutch bell housing (60) and the sun gear (72). The brake disks (58) are connected to
the clutch bell housing (60) and the sun gear (72).
The ring gear (70) and ring gear carrier (71) of the epicyclic gear train drive the primary shaft (87) of the
Dynashift module.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 5-9

5. Gearbox

• Dynashift module
The Dynashift module comprises two epicyclic gear trains (primary and secondary), two brakes and two
clutches.
- Primary epicyclic gear train
The ring gear (89) of the primary gear train is splined to the primary shaft (87). It rotates at the
secondary speed of the multiplier.
The planet carrier (94), linked to the secondary shaft (109), supplies output rotational speed to the
Dynashift module.
The sun gear (95) of the first gear train is linked to the planet carrier (101) of the second gear train.
- Secondary epicyclic gear train
The ring gear of the second gear train (97) can be locked in rotation by the brake (81), or attached to
the primary shaft (87) by the clutch (83).
The sun gear (102) can be locked in rotation by the brake (106), or attached to the secondary shaft
(109) by the clutch (107).
The planet carrier (101) is integral with the sun gear of the first gear train (95).

Construction of the Dyna-4 Powershift module see Fig. 21


The Powershift module on the Dyna-4 GBA25 transmission is located behind the engine flywheel. The
module is fitted in a cast iron housing screwed into the gearbox housing. It includes two epicyclic gear
trains with three planet gears.
Front epicyclic gear train
The front epicyclic gear train functions with the clutch (M) and the brake (L). The primary shaft (62) is
connected to the planet carrier (68). It links the PTO shaft and the engine flywheel. The clutch disks (59)
are splined to the primary shaft (62). The backing plates of the clutch (59) are integral with the clutch bell
housing (60) and the sun gear (72). The brake disks (58) are connected to the clutch bell housing (60) and
the sun gear (72) via the cover plate (67). The ring gear (70) of the front epicyclic gear train drives the ring
gear (81) of the rear epicyclic gear train via the ring gear carrier (71).
Rear epicyclic gear train
The rear epicyclic gear train functions with the clutch (O) and the brake (N). The clutch disks (107) are
splined to the output shaft (109) and the planet carrier (80). The backing plates of the clutch (107) are
integral with the clutch bell housing (111) and the sun gear (84). The sun gear is held to the clutch cover
plate (86) by the snap ring (85). The brake disks (105) are connected to the clutch bell housing (111) and the
sun gear (84). Drive enters via the ring gear (81), driven by the ring gear (70) of the front epicyclic gear train.
Drive exits via the planet carrier (80) toward the PowerShuttle.

Clutch/brake operation

Fig. 6

The clutches/brakes that select the Dynashift gearbox ratios are each controlled by a piston (P). When a
brake is engaged, the related clutch is disengaged, and vice versa.
The control pistons (P) act both on the brake disks (F) and on the intermediate plate (I). When the piston (P)
is under pressure, the plate (I) pushes back the Belleville spring(s) (B) of the clutch (E). When the pressure
is released, the Belleville spring(s) (B) and the screws (R) push the piston (P) back via the intermediate
plate (I) and tighten the clutch disks (E).

Dynashift module kinematics see Fig. 21


• Ratio A (1/1.5)
The front epicyclic gear train piston (69) is not under pressure, the clutch M (59) is engaged via the
Belleville springs (65). The sun gear (72) and the planet carrier (68) are attached, thereby creating a
mechanical lock; the front epicyclic gear train is thus "locked" and its ratio is 1/1. The rear epicyclic gear
train piston (104) is under pressure. The brake N (106) is engaged and holds the sun gear in relation to
the housing. The rear epicyclic gear train turns and reduces the input speed.
• Ratio B (1/1.22)
The front epicyclic gear train piston (69) is under pressure, the clutch M (59) is disengaged. The brake L
(58) is engaged and holds the sun gear (72) in relation to the housing. The front epicyclic gear train turns
and multiplies the input speed. The rear epicyclic gear train is in the same position as at ratio A.
• Ratio C (1/1)
The pistons (69) (104) of the two epicyclic gear trains are not under pressure. The two clutches M and
O are engaged via the Belleville springs (59) and (108). The sun gear is attached to the planet carrier in
each epicyclic gear train, thus creating a mechanical lock. The two epicyclic gear trains are "locked"; the
module input speed is the same at its output.
• Ratio D (1/0.813)
The front epicyclic gear train piston (69) is under pressure, the clutch M (59) is disengaged. The brake L
(58) is engaged and holds the sun gear (72) in relation to the housing. The front epicyclic gear train turns
and multiplies the input speed. The second epicyclic gear train is "locked" as at ratio C.

Kinematics of the PowerShuttle see Fig. 52


When the transmission is in neutral, the PowerShuttle clutches are not under pressure.
In forward position, the (Fwd) clutch is engaged, and directly transmits drive from the Powershift to the
primary shaft of the gearbox.
In reverse position, the (Rev) clutch is engaged, and transmits drive to a layshaft then to the 2nd gear on
the secondary shaft of the main gearbox.

Kinematics of the main gearbox


• Range 1
Reduction is achieved via three gear trains. The
first gear train drives the second train via the
1st synchroniser, then the third train.

• Ratio 1/1
The clutch Q (59) secures the planet carrier with the sun gear of the epicyclic gear train. The gear train
assembly is locked and turns at engine speed. The ratio obtained is 1/1.
• Ratio 1.423/1
The brake P (58) locks the rotation of the sun gear on the gearbox housing. Drive enters via the planet
carrier which drives the rotation of the crown wheel. In this case, the ratio obtained is 1.423/1.

Dynashift module kinematics


Drive is always transmitted via the primary epicyclic gear train, entering via the crown wheel and exiting via
the primary planet carrier. The four ratios are obtained by modifying the rotational speed of the primary sun
gear, which is set by the secondary epicyclic gear train.
• Ratio A (1/1.698)
The two brake pistons (L) and (N) are under pressure. The crown wheel and sun gear of the secondary
epicyclic gear train are fixed in relation to the gearbox housing. As a result, the planet carrier of this gear
train is fixed and holds the sun gear of the 1st gear train.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier.
• Ratio B (1/1.423)
The brake piston (L) is under pressure. The clutch (O) is locked by the Belleville springs. The sun gear of
the secondary epicyclic gear train turns at the same speed as the secondary shaft, driving the rotation
of the planet carrier and therefore the sun gear of the primary epicyclic gear train.
The secondary epicyclic gear train determines the rotational speed of the primary sun gear.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.
• Ratio C (1/1.193)
The brake piston (N) is under pressure. The clutch (M) is engaged by the Belleville springs. The primary
shaft drives the crown wheels of the two epicyclic gear trains. On the secondary epicyclic gear train,
the sun gear is fixed in relation to the gearbox housing and the crown wheel drives the secondary
planet carrier and the primary sun gear.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.
• Ratio D (1/1)
The two brakes (L) and (N) are not under pressure. The two clutches (M) and (O) are engaged by the
Belleville springs. The primary and secondary crown wheels receive the input speed. The secondary
sun gear is integral with the secondary shaft, thus mechanically locking the Dynashift module.
The input and output speeds are identical. The ratio is 1/1.

PowerShuttle kinematics
When the transmission is in neutral, the PowerShuttle clutches are not under pressure.
In forward position, the (Fwd) clutch is engaged, and directly transmits drive from the Powershift to the
primary shaft of the gearbox.
In reverse position, the (Rev) clutch is engaged, and transmits drive to a layshaft then to the 2nd gear on
the secondary shaft of the main gearbox.

• Locked position
When the slider (1) moves towards the gear to be locked, it presses against the cone (2), which in turn
presses against the male cone of the coupling flange (3) by means of the ball bearings (4) and thrust
components (5).
When the synchronization is set, the slider (1) can mesh and silently lock with the teeth of the coupling
flange (3).

• Neutral position
The slider (1) is in the middle position. The ball bearings (4) are pushed into the V groove of the slider by
the pressure springs (6). In this neutral position, the slider is locked by three balls held in place by the
pressure springs.

Advantages and operation


The double cone synchroniser has the following advantages: increased reliability and greater resistance to
transmission effort.
The operating principle of the double-cone synchroniser is similar to that of the single-cone synchroniser.
The positions (locked and neutral) are obtained in the same way.

5.1.2.5 Main gearbox robotic control

Fig. 19

The synchronisers are controlled by forks (1) and (2) and selector rails (3) and (4).
The forks and selector rails are assembled with pins.
The selector rails are controlled hydraulically. The selector rails are fitted on double-acting pistons (5) and
(6).
On the selector rail (4) that controls the 1st and 2nd synchroniser, the piston (6) is damped by a spring (7) to
enable smoother shifting between ranges 1 and 2.
The forks and selector rails are adjusted by tightening or loosening the adjustable stops (8) and (9). Once
adjusted, the stops are held in position by the screws (10) and (11).
A safety rod (12) prevents the selector rails from being engaged simultaneously. When a selector rail is
engaged, the rod locks the other one at the groove (13).

• Locked position
When the slider (1) moves toward the gear to
be locked, it presses against the cone (2),
which in turn presses against the male cone of
the coupling flange (3) by means of the ball
bearings (4) and thrust components (5).
When the synchronization is set, the slider (1)
can mesh and silently lock with the teeth of the
coupling flange (3).
• Neutral position
The slider (1) is in the middle position. The ball
bearings (4) are pushed into the V groove of the
slider by the pressure springs (6). In this neutral
position, the slider is locked by three balls held
in place by the pressure springs.

5.2 GBA25/PowerShuttle
5.2.1 General
The PowerShuttle, also called "ISC", is a system consisting of two electrohydraulically controlled multidisc
clutches. It enables the direction to be reversed under load. It is fitted to all tractors with a GBA25 gearbox.
The reverse shuttle is fitted in the center of the gearbox. It links the gearbox Powershift module to the
mechanical section of the gearbox.
The PowerShuttle is used as the main clutch of the transmission.
The PowerShuttle design is simple. It comprises two multidisc clutches, one for forward travel and one for
reverse travel. The PowerShuttle transmits the drive from the gearbox Powershift module to the
mechanical section of the gearbox.
Forward drive is transmitted directly to the primary shaft of the mechanical gearbox. For reverse travel, a
gear train and a layshaft transmit drive to the 2nd gear on the secondary shaft of the mechanical gearbox.
A shared lever, located on the left-hand side under
the steering wheel, reverses the direction of travel
and shifts between ratios under load.
It also has a position for manual declutching of the
transmission.

Fig. 50

Depending on the position selected by the operator, the lever controls two proportional solenoid valves via
an Autotronic 5 controller.
The clutch pedal or maneuvering pedal also controls the clutch via sensors and the controller. It is useful
when carrying out precise maneuvers or attaching implements.
The two solenoid valves (1) and (2) are fitted on
the hydraulic unit located at the front right-hand
side of the gearbox. This unit also includes the
solenoid valves that control the Powershift ratios.
It is fed by the tractor hydraulic system with a
pressure of 20 bar.
• (1) Forward solenoid valve.
• (2) Reverse solenoid valve.

Fig. 51

A speed sensor fitted to the right-hand side of the gearbox informs the controller of the rotational output
speed of the PowerShuttle. The measurement is taken on the 2nd gear of the secondary shaft.

5.2.2 Principles of operation


see chapter View of the GBA25 PowerShuttle assembly, page 5-55 and see chapter Blown-up view of the
GBA25 PowerShuttle, page 5-57 .

MF 5700 SL series tractors 5-51


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

Construction
The PowerShuttle unit comprises two identical clutches fitted one opposite the other.
The PowerShuttle consists mainly of a unit (14) fitted to the output shaft (1) of the Dynashift module. The
shaft (1) is supported on the Dynashift module side by a ball bearing (3) held on the bearing (57) by the
flange (59). On the mechanical gearbox side, the shaft (1) is supported by a ball bearing (39) fitted on the
primary shaft of the mechanical gearbox (22). The forward position output hub (20) is splined to the shaft
(22).
The reverse gear (6) turns on two ball bearings (5) and (7).
Each clutch mechanism comprises a piston (30) and (32), a series of disks (16) (11) and backing plates (15)
(12). The pistons are sealed by square seals (35) (36) and (33) (34). Each piston is repositioned by a series
of Belleville springs (17) and (31).
A thrust washer (13) or (37) is positioned between the piston (32) or (30) and the Belleville springs (31) or
(17). The Belleville springs (31) and (17) are held on the shaft (1) by the rings (10) and (45) and snap rings (9)
and (44) respectively.
The reverse layshaft (51) is supported at the front by a ball bearing (50) fitted tightly in the cover plate of
the Dynashift module (26). On the mechanical gearbox side, the gear (38), splined to the shaft (51), turns
on two tapered roller bearings. This part of the mechanism is described in the "Mechanical gearbox"
section.
The gear (49) is splined to the shaft (51). A retainer ring (58) holds the gear (49) in position on the shaft (51).

Operation
• Forward
To engage the forward position, the piston is fed by the tractor 20 bar hydraulic system. Oil flows
through the channel (B) in the shaft (1) and moves the piston (30). The disks (16) and backing plates (15)
are compressed between the piston and the cover plate (40).
Input drive is transmitted via the unit (14) to the backing plates (15) and disks (16). The splined hub (20)
directly drives the gearbox primary shaft (22).
• Reverse
The clutch mechanism is identical to the forward position. The reverse gear (6) drives the 2nd gear (48)
of the mechanical gearbox via the layshaft (51); the 2nd gear turns idle on the secondary shaft (47). The
direction of travel is reversed by a series of layshaft gears (6), (49) and (38).
NOTE:
The forward and reverse position ratios are identical.

Control
Pressure is supplied to the pistons (30) and (32) by internal channels (A) and (B) located in the shaft (1).
Two solenoid valves located on the gearbox right-hand cover plate control the clutches. The internal
channels are located in the bearing (57) and in the shaft (1). Three rings (4) provide the seal between the
bearing (57) and the shaft (1). The channels are blocked at the end of the shaft (1) by plugs.

Lubrication
A flow of oil from the tractor's hydraulic system is sent to the bearing (57) on the left-hand side of the
gearbox. The oil flow is channeled to the center of the upper shaftline. Radial holes distribute the oil to the
various elements. The channels are blocked at the end of the shaft (1) by plugs. The seal ring (42), "O" ring
(41) and ring (43) prevent the oil from leaking out where the shafts (1) and (22) join.

PowerShuttle control
Reversal of the direction of travel is controlled electrohydraulically by an Autotronic 5 controller used to
control the transmission. The controller operates two proportional solenoid valves that control the

5-52 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460

PowerShuttle clutches. To control the reversal cycle or engagement of a clutch, the controller receives
information concerning engine rotational speed, forward speed and PowerShuttle output rotational speed.

5.3 GBA25/Dyna-4 PowerShift module


5.3.1 Dyna-4 General information
The Powershift module is fitted on Dyna-4 GBA25 gearboxes. It is located at the gearbox input and is
driven directly by the engine. This module provides the GBA25 transmission with four gear ratios for
shifting under load.
These four ratios are provided by two epicyclic gear trains, operating with two brakes and two clutches.
The gear ratios can be controlled with the PowerShuttle lever (to the left under the steering wheel) or with
the lever on the right-hand console or right-hand armrest, depending on option.
The brakes and clutches are controlled by
proportional solenoid valves (L) and (N). They are
fitted to a hydraulic unit to the front right of the
gearbox that operates on the tractor 20 bar
system.

Fig. 77

5.3.2 Dyna-4 Operating principle

Dynashift module
The Powershift module is made up of two epicyclic gear trains:
• Front epicyclic gear train, located at the gearbox input. This comprises a sun gear (36), a planet carrier
(25), three planet gears (48) and a crown wheel (65). It is controlled by a brake and a clutch. Its ratio is
1.23/1 (speed multiplied) or 1/1 (train locked).
• Rear epicyclic gear train, located on the unit output. This comprises a sun gear (49), a planet carrier (30),
three planet gears (50) and a crown wheel (29). It is controlled by a brake and a clutch. Its ratio is 1/1.5
(speed reduced) or 1/1 (train locked).

Front epicyclic gear train


The input shaft (10) of the module is connected to the planet carrier (25) of the primary epicyclic gear train.
The sun gear (36) is either integral with the planet carrier (25) (clutch M engaged, epicyclic gear train
locked) or integral with the gearbox housing (brake L engaged, input speed multiplied). Drive is transmitted
by the crown wheel (65) to the crown wheel (29) of the rear epicyclic gear train.

Rear epicyclic gear train


Input drive is transmitted by the crown wheel (29). The sun gear (49) is either integral with the planet
carrier (30) (clutch O engaged, epicyclic gear train locked) or integral with the gearbox housing (brake N
engaged, input speed reduced). The output shaft (47) is integral with the planet carrier (30), and is
connected to the PowerShuttle.

Lubrication
The Powershift module is lubricated under pressure by a network of internal channels. Oil enters the upper
main shaft of the gearbox, then travels through radial holes to the elements requiring lubrication.

5-72 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

The oil flows from the tractor's hydraulic system.

Powershift module control


The Powershift module ratio can be changed via:
• The Power Control lever (1) located on the left
underneath the steering wheel
• The transmission lever (2)

Logic of the ratios

Powershift Front epicyclic gear Front epicyclic gear train Solenoid valve Clutches/

Status Ratio Status Ratio L N L M N O
A Direct drive 1/1 Epicyclic gear 1/1.5 12 V X X

gear train train engaged
engaged
C Direct drive 1/1 Direct drive 1/1 X X
D Epicyclic 1.23/1 Direct drive 1/1 12 V X X
gear train
engaged

The four ratios are obtained by combining the two epicyclic gear trains. The front epicyclic gear train
multiplies the input speed to 1.23/1, while the rear epicyclic gear train reduces the speed to 1/1.5.
Each epicyclic gear train may be engaged (multiplication or reduction) or locked (ratio 1/1). The two
epicyclic gear trains are used in combination to obtain the four ratios A, B, C and D.

Clutch/brake operation
Piston (P)

Brake (F)

Junction plate (L)

Clutch (E)

Belleville spring (R)

The brakes and clutches operate as a 1 brake/1


clutch set. The brakes (F) mesh an element to the Fig. 80
housing (fixed), and the clutches (E) mesh two
elements in rotation.
The clutches/brakes are controlled by a single
piston (P). A junction plate (L) allows the clutch to
be released when the brake is engaged, and vice
versa.
When there is no pressure on the piston (position
A), the Belleville spring (R) engages the clutch (E).
When the piston (P) is actuated (position B), it
engages the brake (F), and pushes back the
Belleville spring (R) via the plate (L).

Ratio A (1/1.5)

Fig. 81

Brake piston "L" is not under pressure, clutch "M" is engaged and locks the front epicyclic gear train. Brake
piston "N" is under pressure. The sun gear of the rear epicyclic gear train is held in relation to the gearbox
housing, enabling the rear epicyclic gear train to reduce the input speed.

Ratio B (1/1.22)

Fig. 82

The two brake pistons L and N are under pressure. The sun gears are held in relation to the gearbox
housing. The two epicyclic gear trains are engaged. The front epicyclic gear train increases the input speed
to 1.23/1 and the rear epicyclic gear train reduces the speed to 1/1.5, giving an overall ratio of 1/1.22.

5.4 GBA25/Dyna-6 PowerShift module


5.4.1 Dyna-6 - General information
The Powershift module is fitted on GBA25 gearboxes. It is located at the gearbox input and is driven
directly by the engine. This module provides the GBA25 transmission with six gear ratios for shifting under
load.
These six ratios are supplied by three epicyclic gear trains that operate with three brakes and three
clutches.
The gear ratios can be controlled with the PowerShuttle lever (to the left under the steering wheel) or with
the lever on the right-hand console or right-hand armrest, depending on option.
The brakes and clutches are controlled by
proportional solenoid valves (N), (P) and (L). They
are fitted to a hydraulic unit to the front right of the
gearbox that operates on the tractor 20 bar
system.

Fig. 129

5.4.2 Dyna-6 Operating principle


The Powershift module consists of two modules comprised mainly of three epicyclic gear trains :
• Multiplier module: located at the gearbox input. It comprises an epicyclic gear train with three planet
gears, a brake and a clutch.
• Dynashift module: fitted behind the multiplier. It comprises two epicyclic gear trains with four planet
gears, two brakes and two clutches.

Multiplier module
Located in the input unit, the multiplier provides a ratio of 1/1 (gear train locked) or 1.423/1.
Drive enters via the planet carrier (26) and exits via the crown wheel (29). When the epicyclic gear train
ratio is 1/1, the sun gear is meshed to the planet carrier by a clutch. The gear train assembly turns at the
same speed as the engine.
When the epicyclic gear train ratio is 1.423/1, the brake locks the sun gear on the gearbox housing,
allowing the engine speed to go into overdrive (for ratios E and F).

Dynashift module
This module is located at the multiplier output, and allows four ratios to be obtained when shifting under
load. It comprises two identical epicyclic gear trains, two clutches and two brakes.
Drive enters and exits via the primary epicyclic gear train.
The clutches and brakes act on the crown wheel and the sun gear of the secondary epicyclic gear train to
vary the speed of the primary sun gear, thus creating different ratios.

5-98 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

Lubrication
The Powershift module is lubricated under pressure by a network of internal channels. Oil enters the upper
main shaft of the gearbox, then travels through radial holes to the elements requiring lubrication.
The oil flows from the tractor's hydraulic system.

Powershift module control


The Powershift module ratio can be changed via:
• The Power Control lever (1) located on the left
underneath the steering wheel
• The transmission lever (2)

The six ratios are obtained by combining the four Dynashift module ratios with the two multiplier module
ratios.
For ratios A, B, C and D, the multiplier is not engaged: its ratio is 1/1.
For ratios E and F, ratios C and D of the Dynashift module are used in combination with the multiplier
module, which provides a ratio of 1.423/1.
Drive is always transmitted via the primary epicyclic gear train, entering via the primary crown wheel and
exiting via the primary planet carrier. The four ratios are obtained by modifying the rotational speed of the
primary sun gear, which is set by the secondary epicyclic gear train.

Clutch/brake operation
Piston (P)

Brake (F)

Junction plate (L)

Clutch (E)

Belleville spring (R)

The brakes and clutches operate as a 1 brake/1


clutch set. The brakes (F) mesh an element to the Fig. 132
housing (fixed), and the clutches (E) mesh two
elements in rotation.
The clutches/brakes are controlled by a single
piston (P). A junction plate (L) allows the clutch to
be released when the brake is engaged, and vice
versa.
When there is no pressure on the piston (position
A), the Belleville spring (R) engages the clutch (E).
MF 5700 SL series tractors 5-101
ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

When the piston (P) is actuated (position B), it


engages the brake (F), and pushes back the
Belleville spring (R) via the plate (L).

Ratio A (1/1.698)

Fig. 133

The epicyclic gear train of the multiplier is locked in rotation by clutch (Q). Its ratio is 1/1.
The two brake pistons (L) and (N) are under pressure. The crown wheel and sun gear of the secondary
epicyclic gear train are fixed in relation to the gearbox housing. As a result, the planet carrier of this gear
train is fixed and holds the sun gear of the 1st gear train.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier.

Ratio B (1/1.423)

Fig. 134

The epicyclic gear train of the multiplier is locked in rotation by clutch (Q). Its ratio is 1/1.
The brake piston (L) is under pressure. The clutch (O) is locked by the Belleville spring. The sun gear of the
secondary epicyclic gear train turns at the same speed as the secondary shaft, driving the rotation of the
planet carrier and therefore the sun gear of the primary epicyclic gear train.
The secondary epicyclic gear train determines the rotational speed of the primary sun gear.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.

Ratio C (1/1.193)

Fig. 135

The epicyclic gear train of the multiplier is locked in rotation by clutch (Q). Its ratio is 1/1.
The brake piston (N) is under pressure. The clutch (M) is engaged by the Belleville spring. The primary shaft
drives the crown wheels of the two epicyclic gear trains. On the secondary epicyclic gear train, the sun
gear is fixed in relation to the gearbox housing and the crown wheel drives the secondary planet carrier and
the primary sun gear.
Reduction is provided by the speed of the primary planet carrier and the speed of the primary sun gear.

Ratio D (1/1)

Fig. 136

The epicyclic gear train of the multiplier is locked in rotation by clutch (Q). Its ratio is 1/1.
The two brakes (L) and (N) are not under pressure. The two clutches (M) and (O) are engaged by the
Belleville springs. The primary and secondary crown wheels receive the input speed. The secondary sun
gear is integral with the secondary shaft, thus mechanically locking the Dynashift module.
The input and output speeds are identical. The ratio is 1/1.

5.5 GBA25/Robotic mechanical gearbox


5.5.1 General
The GBA25 gearbox is fitted to tractors with Dyna-4 or Dyna-6 transmission. This transmission is fully
automated. It allows shifting between all the ratios without declutching.
The gearbox is divided into two parts:
• the Powershift module, with four or six ratios for shifting under load,
• the robotically-controlled mechanical gearbox with four ratios.
The transmission assembly is controlled electronically by an Autotronic 5 controller.

5.5.2 Principles of operation


The mechanical gearbox ratios are controlled like a ratio for shifting under load.
The ratios can be controlled manually or
automatically using AutoDrive mode.
Two levers control the ratios in manual mode:
• The Power Control lever (1) located on the left
underneath the steering wheel
• The transmission lever (2)

Fig. 180
The mechanical gearbox is located between the
Powershift module and the rear axle. It comprises
two shafts (upper and lower shaftlines), on which
four helical gear trains rotate.
Input drive is supplied by the PowerShuttle and is
transmitted to the upper shaftline.
Output drive is transmitted via the lower shaftline
to a creeper unit or directly to the pinion of the
crownwheel and pinion.

Fig. 181

Lubrication
The oil from the lubrication system coming from the tractor 5 bar valve is sent to the lower shaftline and
the upper shaftline of the gearbox.
A network of internal channels directs the oil to the elements requiring lubrication.

Selecting ratios
Ratios are selected using two synchronizers, one single cone and one double cone. Each synchronizer is
engaged individually.

5-130 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

The synchronisers are controlled by two selector rails and two forks. Each selector rail has a double-acting
piston, allowing ratio shifting.
The selector rail pistons are controlled hydraulically via the tractor 20 bar system (arrow).
The solenoid valves (X484), (X485), (X486) and
(X487), located on the right-hand side of the
gearbox, control selector rail movement.
The switches (X488), (X489), (X490) and (X491)
inform the controller of the selector rail positions.

Fig. 182
NOTE: The switches are pressed in by pins (131).

Fig. 183

Each ratio has a corresponding solenoid valve and switch (see table).

Kinematics of the main gearbox


• Range 1
Reduction is achieved via three gear trains. The
first gear train drives the second train via the
1st synchroniser, then the third train.

Fig. 184
• Range 2
Reduction is achieved via the first gear train.
The 2nd synchroniser attaches the 2nd gear to
the secondary shaft.

Fig. 185
• Range 3
Reduction is achieved via the third gear train.
The primary shaft is attached to the 3rd gear by
the 3rd synchroniser.

Fig. 186

5-132 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
5. Gearbox

• Range 4
Reduction is achieved via the fourth gear train.
The primary shaft is attached to the 4th gear by
the 4th synchroniser.

Fig. 187

NOTE:
In forward position, input drive comes directly from the PowerShuttle to the primary shaft (1).
In reverse position, drive comes from the PowerShuttle via the gears (124), (119) and (116) and the shaft
(121). It enters via the 2nd driven gear 25, which is constantly meshed to the primary shaft (1).

Primary shaft
The primary shaft (1) is splined to the PowerShuttle forward hub. It is supported by two tapered roller
bearings (3) (4) and (50) (51). Shimming is carried out with shims (4).
The PTO shaft (71) is inserted through the center of the primary shaft (1). This cavity in the shaft (1) also
serves as a channel for lubrication oil.
The 1st and 2nd driving gear is cut into the primary shaft (1).
The double gear (26) turns idle on the shaft (1) and is supported by two tapered roller bearings (27) (28) and
(29) (30) and two needle roller bearings (37) (38). This gear is supported on the shaft by shims (20).
The 4th driving gear turns idle on the shaft (1). It is supported by a lubricated ring (49).

Secondary shaft
The secondary shaft (13) turns on two tapered roller bearings (89) and (46) (47). Holes in the center of the
shaft (13) ensure proper lubrication. Adjustment is controlled by shims (7).
The gear (25) turns idle on the shaft (13) and is supported by two tapered roller bearings (21) (22) and (23)
(24) and a needle roller bearing (32).
The gear (25) acts as a bearing to the intermediate gear (31). This gear (31) is in direct contact with the gear
(25). A layer of oil ensures that the mating faces are lubricated.
The gears (43) and (45) are splined to the shaft (13). They are separated by a spacer (44).

Synchronisers
The single cone synchronizer located on the primary shaft (1) allows shifting between the 3rd and 4th
gears. Its hub (60) is splined to the shaft (1). It is held in position by a retainer ring (42) on one side and by
the bearing cone (50) fitted tightly on the shaft (1).
By moving the sliding coupler (54), the shaft (1) is locked either:
• with the double gear (26) (3rd),
• or with the gear (48) (4th).
The double cone synchroniser located on the secondary shaft (13) allows shifting between the 1st and 2nd
gears. Its hub( 69) is integral to the gear (25). It is held in position by the snap ring (68).
By moving the sliding coupler (70), the shaft (13) is locked either:

• with the intermediate gear (31) (1st),


• or with the gear (43) (2nd).

The synchronisers are controlled conventionally by forks (72) and (96) and selector rails (73) and (98).
The selector rails are controlled hydraulically. The selector rails are controlled by double-acting pistons.
On the selector rail (98) that controls the 1st and 2nd synchroniser, the piston (92) is damped by a spring
(93) to give smooth shifting between ranges 1 and 2.
The selector rails are adjusted by tightening or loosening the castellated nuts (99) (101) and (108) (109).
Once adjusted, the stops are held in position by screws (100) and (107).
An interlock mechanism comprising two rods (104) (106) and a counter-nut (105) prevents the selector rails
from being engaged simultaneously. When one selector rail is engaged, the pin locks the other rail in a
groove.

5.6 GBA25/Super creeper gears


5.6.1 General
The super creeper gears component is fitted as an
option.
It has a ratio of 13.68.
The super creeper gears component (VSR) is
located at the front of the center housing of the
GPA50 rear axle.
It is electrohydraulically controlled by two ON/OFF
solenoid valves managed by the tractor electronic
system and is supplied with a low pressure of
21 bar.
Each of the solenoid valves controls a position
(super creeper gears or direct drive). When one is
open (ON), the other is closed (OFF) and vice
versa.
The oil return from the piston of the hydraulic
mechanism is directed to the center housing by
the remaining passive solenoid valve (not
supplied).
IMPORTANT: The coupler with spur cut teeth can
only be activated by the tractor's electronic system
when the tractor is stopped.

5.6.2 Principles of operation


Super creeper gears position: ratio 1/13.68

Fig. 244

The kinematics of the super creeper gears component is provided by a driving gear (24) constantly
engaged with the teeth of the output shaft (AS) of the gearbox and by a layshaft (7) directly engaged with
the dog gear (3).
When the super creeper gears component is electronically and hydraulically engaged, the coupler (2)
splined to the pinion (PA) is released from the output shaft (AS) of the gearbox to clutch the splines of the
dog gear (3).

• The right-hand and left-hand trumpet housings
Two versions of trumpet housing are available from the Parts Book:
• GPA52 trumpet housings, depending on the tractor model.
• GPA54 trumpet housings, depending on the tractor model.
They are fitted to either side of the center housing and house the rear wheel drive system.
In this section, only a partial description is given of each component, as more specific and detailed
descriptions are given in their respective sections.

Construction
The crown wheel and pinion assembly contains the pinion and the crown wheel.
These two parts are inseparable.
• The helical pinion is supported by two tapered roller bearings fitted in an O arrangement.
The adjustment of its position is effected using shim(s) placed between the rear bearing cup mounted
freely in its bore and the center housing.
The rear bearing cone of the pinion is force-fitted. In contrast, the front bearing cone is mounted freely
to allow the fitting of the shims necessary for the preload shimming of the tapered roller bearings.
The pinion can support a driving gear for the 4WD mechanism. In the 2WD version, a ring replaces the
gear.
• The helical crown wheel is screwed on to the differential unit. The differential unit is supported by two
tapered roller bearings fitted in an X arrangement.
It needs to be adjusted and shimmed to be reliable:
• adjustment of the backlash
• shimming with preload of the tapered roller bearings
The differential component consists of two sun gears and four planet gears.

• an output shaft incorporated in the gearbox


• a driving gear constantly meshed with the teeth of the output shaft
• a relay shaft with integrated gear
• a dog gear rotating freely on the pinion
• a dog clutch with external and internal teeth
• a fork
• a hydraulically-controlled piston

6.1.2 Principles of operation

Helical crown wheel and pinion assembly


The helical crown wheel and pinion assembly, composed of the pinion and the crown wheel, controls the
rotation from the output shaft of the gearbox to drive the rear axle of the tractor via the differential and its
unit.

Differential
• In a straight line
When the wheels turn at the same speed, the planet gear/sun gear assembly is locked and its rotation
prevented.
In this configuration, the movement is transmitted only to the differential unit towards the rear wheels
of the tractor.
• Turning
When the wheels no longer turn at the same speed (right or left turn), the differential mechanism
operates and enables the planet gears and sun gears to turn at a differential speed according to the
trajectory of the wheels.
The movement is then transmitted to the differential unit towards the rear wheels of the tractor via the
rotating sun gears.

4WD clutch
• Clutch disengaged position
The 4WD solenoid valve fitted to the center housing is controlled by the tractor's electronic system.
It supplies oil to the interior of the shaft via the axial and radial channels under a pressure of 21 bar.
The 4WD clutch piston then moves on the hub and pulls the bell. The bell compresses the Belleville
springs and releases the disks.
In this configuration, the bell gear then turns idle on the shaft and does not transmit movement towards
the front axle.
• Clutch engaged position
When the pressure is cut, the Belleville springs decompress and push back the bell in order to
compress the disks and the intermediate plates.
The bell gear then attaches to the bell, transmitting in this way the rotation of the pinion to the shaft
and the front axle.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-7


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Rear PTO clutch


• Clutch engaged position
The rear PTO clutch is supplied by the 21 bar low-pressure hydraulic system and via a proportional
solenoid valve located on the hydraulic cover plate and above the rear axle.
A transfer pipe connects the hydraulic cover plate to the clutch.
The pressurized oil penetrates the clutch unit and then travels towards the rear of the piston via an
internal channel.
The pressure pushes the piston, which compresses the disks and the intermediate plates.
The intermediate plates are attached to the bell by lugs.
The disks are splined to the hub.
The movement is then transmitted to the driving shaft and the mechanical components of the rear
power take-off.
• Clutch disengaged position
When the solenoid valve no longer supplies the power take-off clutch, the piston is brought back
against the unit by a spring.
The oil in the piston chamber is directed to the return by the solenoid valve.
The ball bearing leaves the seat of the valve crimped on the clutch bell to facilitate the decompression
of the piston chamber.

Main brakes
When force is applied to a brake pedal, the relevant master cylinder directs pressure towards the piston of
the hydraulic brake unit located above the rear axle.
This pressure is proportionate to the force applied to the pedal.
The hydraulic brake unit operates on the plates of the mechanism and separates them by angular rotation.
As a result, the disks and the intermediate plates are compressed and brake the input sun gear of the
trumpet housing splined to the brake disks.
The same logic applies for the second brake pedal.

Hand brake
The operating principle of the hand brake control is identical to that of the main brakes, except that a cable
replaces the pressure generated by the brake master cylinders towards the hydraulic brake units.

PTO brake
• Clutch engaged position
The brake piston located in the rear housing is pressurized (21 bar) and gradually brakes the lower line
of the rear PTO until it stops completely.
• Clutch disengaged position
The brake piston is no longer pressurized. The lower line of the power take-off is thus released.

Super creeper gears (optional)


The super creeper gear mechanism is operated by two ON/OFF solenoid valves under a pressure of 21 bar.
Super creeper gears position: ratio 13.68
When the relevant solenoid valve is supplied, the piston of the super creeper gear hydraulic mechanism
drives the control fork back and shifts the dog clutch splined to the pinion.

ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

In this configuration, the dog clutch, which is constantly meshed with the pinion by means of splines,
releases itself from the output shaft and clutches the splines of the dog gear.
The movement then passes from the output shaft of the gearbox to the pinion of the rear axle via a relay
shaft and three gears.
Direct drive: ratio 1:1
When the relevant solenoid valve is supplied, the dog clutch, which is constantly meshed with the pinion,
moves forward and attaches itself to the output shaft of the gearbox.
In each position (super creeper gears or direct drive), the oil return from the piston of the hydraulic
mechanism is directed to the center housing by the remaining passive solenoid valve (not supplied).

6.2 GPA50/GPA52 trumpet housings


6.2.1 General
The GPA52 trumpets of tractors equipped with a
GTA5050 transmission support the right-hand and
left-hand flanged axle shafts.
They contain the final drive units that transmit the
rotation from the differential assembly.
The GPA52 trumpets have mechanical
components whose structure and shape vary
according to the power of the tractor.
The main difference is in relation to the final drive
(planet carrier, planet gear pin and crown wheel).
The width of the teeth of the planet gears and the
crown wheel as well as the number of teeth varies
according to the type of trumpet housing specified
in the following table.

Type of Width of teeth Number of


trumpet of planet gears teeth

Planet Ring
gear gear

GPA52 47.6 mm 23 65

The crown wheel of the GPA52 trumpets is


knurled on its rim and force-fitted into the trumpet
housing. Fig. 16

Extracting it from the trumpet housing is not an


option. Only the trumpet housing/crown wheel
assembly is available in the spare parts catalog for
repairs.
The two GPA52 trumpets are symmetrical and can
be inverted from right to left and vice-versa.

Construction
The flanged axle shaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings fitted opposite one another.
External sealing is ensured by a three-lipped seal and internal sealing by a single-lip seal. The planet carrier
assembly of the final drive has three planet gears. It is held in position by a tripod washer and an M20
screw locked by a special washer. It is splined in rotation with the flanged axle shaft.
Shims placed at the end of the axle shaft allow the tapered roller bearings to be preloaded.
The final drive crown wheel is force-fitted into the trumpet housing.
The brake disks are housed in the right-hand and left-hand cavities of the center housing.
They are splined to the trumpet housing input sun gears.
The axle shaft and the planet carrier are held in position by a tripod washer and an M20 screw locked by a
special washer.

6.2.2 Principles of operation

Fig. 17

Operation of the trumpet housing epicyclic final drive


The rotational speed of the axle shafts (A) is reduced by a classic epicyclic final drive (RF) in each trumpet
housing.
Its operation is ensured by a drive input and output.
• Input movement
It is generated by the gearbox (BV) and transmitted to the sun gear (P) of the trumpet (T) via the crown
wheel and pinion assembly of the rear axle.
• Output movement
It is transmitted to the shaft (A) and the wheel (R) via the planet carrier (PS) and the three planet gears
(S) of the classic final drive (RF).

6.2.5.2 Removing and refitting the trumpet housing assembly


Removal

Procedure
1. Drain the rear axle center housing.
NOTE:
To drain the rear axle fully, you must unscrew two plugs. One is located on the cover of the 4WD
clutch unit and the other on the center housing.
2. Immobilize the tractor. Apply the hand brake. Chock between the frame and the front axle (optional).
3. Take off the wheel concerned. Position an axle stand beneath the rear axle.
4. IMPORTANT:
Check that there is sufficient space between
the windscreen and the engine cover to
perform the operation without any problem.
If not, remove the hood and its fins if
necessary.
Visualize the separation of the trumpet
housing from the center housing, checking
that the trumpet housing and the cab will not
obstruct each other.
If this is not the case, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the cab attachment screw on
the trumpet housing support.
• Raise the rear of the cab slightly to allow
the trumpet housing to move away from
the center housing.
• Chock the cab.
NOTE:
If the tractor is fitted with a suspended cab
(1) (2), consult the relevant chapter.
5. Unscrew the stabilizer support (2) and the
cab support (1).
6. If a draft sensor is fitted to the lower arm of
the trumpet housing (depending on version),
remove its guard and its electrical harness
from the trumpet housing.

6-48 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Fig. 32
7. Support the trumpet housing using a suitable support secured to a trolley jack or using a hydraulic
table.
8. Unscrew the M16 screws (21).
9. IMPORTANT:
It is strongly recommended that you use guide studs to remove the trumpet housing so that the
brake disks do not bear (via the input sun gear (P)) the weight of the trumpet housing while it is being
removed.
Screw two makeshift guide studs (G) of approximately 150 mm in length into opposing holes on the
center housing.
10. Detach the trumpet housing from the center housing by tightening, if necessary, two locally made
extraction screws (VE) into the tapped holes of the trumpet housing.
NOTE:
Originally, these tapped holes were used to attach a component outside the trumpet housing.
NOTE:
When the trumpet housing detaches from the center housing, the input sun gear (P) can occupy two
positions depending on certain circumstances:
• being trapped by the brake disks
• being driven by the final drive of the trumpet housing

11. Remove:
• the input sun gear (P)
• the guide studs (G)

Refitting

Procedure
1. Clean the mating faces of the trumpet housing and center housing with solvent. Check that the
groove of the NBR seal on the center housing is free of dirt. Dry the components.
2. Attach a new NBR seal (J) to the service tool
4346869M1 (see chapter GPA50/Final drives
- Service tools, page 6-60 ).
3. IMPORTANT:
It is strongly recommended that the NBR
seal (J) is fitted using the service tool. Fitting
it without the tool will stretch the seal and
cause a loop to form in the final assembly
phase.
Position the tool fitted with the NBR seal (J)
on the center housing. Exert strong manual
pressure on the tool so that the seal lodges
correctly in the groove of the center housing.
Fig. 33
4. Remove the tool. Check that the NBR seal (J)
is correctly positioned in the groove of the
center housing.
5. Fit the Mecanindus locating pin (22) (if
removed) to the trumpet housing (5),
observing the dimension of 10 mm marked
at see Fig. 34 .
6. On the center housing, screw in two guide
studs (G) at the same positions as for
removing the trumpet housing.
7. If the input sun gear (P) of the trumpet
housing was removed, refit it by sliding it
gradually into the splines of each brake disk
until encountering firm resistance.
NOTE:
This resistance is the contact of the input
sun gear of the trumpet housing with that of
the differential. Fig. 34

If the input sun gear (P) was not removed,


manually check that it is engaged properly in
the splines of the five brake disks before
refitting the trumpet housing.

6.3.1 General
The GPA54 trumpet housings of tractors equipped
with a GTA5050 or GTA2550 transmission support
the right-hand and left-hand flanged axle shafts.
They contain the final drive units that transmit the
rotation from the differential assembly.
The shape of the final drive (planet carrier, planet
gears, planet gear pins and final drive ring gear) is
optimized compared to that of the GPA52
trumpets.
The planet carrier of the GPA54 trumpet housings
has planet gears with 23 teeth and a length of
64 mm.
Fig. 43
The two GPA54 trumpet housings are symmetrical
and can be inverted from right to left and vice-
versa.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-61


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Construction
The flanged axle shaft is supported by two tapered
roller bearings fitted opposite one another.
The external sealing of the trumpet housings is
ensured by a three-lipped seal and internal sealing
by a single-lip seal.
Two NBR seals fitted respectively on the trumpet
housing and the center housing ensure the
tightness of the final drive ring gear.
The planet carrier assembly of the final drive has
three planet gears. It is held in position by a tripod
washer and an M20 screw locked by a special
washer.
It is splined in rotation with the flanged axle shaft.
Shims placed at the end of the axle shaft allow the
tapered roller bearings to be preloaded.
The final drive ring gear is removable. It is screwed
to the trumpet housing and placed between it and
the center housing of the rear axle.
The brake disks are housed in the right-hand and
left-hand cavities of the center housing.
They are splined to the trumpet housing input sun
gears.

6. Rear axle

Operation of the trumpet housing epicyclic final drive


The rotational speed of the axle shafts (A) is reduced by a classic epicyclic final drive (RF) in each trumpet
housing.
Its operation is ensured by a drive input and output.
• Input movement
It is generated by the gearbox (BV) and transmitted to the sun gear (P) of the trumpet (T) via the crown
wheel and pinion assembly of the rear axle.
• Output movement
It is transmitted to the shaft (A) and the wheel (R) via the planet carrier (PS) and the three planet gears
(S) of the classic final drive (RF).

studs (G) at the same positions as for
removing the trumpet housing.
7. If the input sun gear (P) of the trumpet
housing was removed, refit it by sliding it
gradually into the splines of each brake disk
until encountering firm resistance.
NOTE: This resistance is the contact of the
input sun gear of the trumpet housing with Fig. 62
that of the differential.
If the input sun gear (P) was not removed,
manually check that it is engaged properly in
the splines of the five brake disks before
refitting the trumpet housing.

6.4 GPA50/Rear crown wheel and pinion 9x40 and 10x42


6.4.1 General
The crown wheel and pinion is helical.
It is of conventional type: the pinion and ring gear have a common shaft.
The rear differential unit/ring gear assembly is supported:
• on the right-hand side by a large diameter tapered roller bearing housed in a removable support
mounted on the right-hand side of the center housing. This support also incorporates the hydro-
mechanically controlled rear differential lock.
• on the left-hand side by a tapered roller bearing housed in the wall of the center housing.
A lubrication sleeve fitted with a lip seal and sealing ring lubricate the left-hand tapered roller bearing. This
is also used to lubricate the planet gears and sun gears housed in the sealed rear differential unit.
The crown wheel and pinion has a different number of teeth as shown in the following table:

GPA5050 rear axle fitted with trumpet housings Number of pinion/ring gear teeth
GPA52 9/40 or 10/42
GPA54 10/42

The ring gear is located inside the center housing and on the right-hand side of the pinion (viewed from the
driving position). The ring gear and the fixed dog clutch for the rear differential unit form a block. This block
also acts as a cover plate for the rear differential unit.
The backlash between the pinion and the ring gear is adjusted by shims. These are located between the
large diameter tapered roller bearing cup of the rear differential unit/ring gear assembly and the right-hand
support of the center housing (viewed from the driving position).
The rear differential unit/ring gear assembly tapered roller bearing preload is also adjusted by shims. These
are located between the tapered roller bearing cup and the lubrication sleeve mounted on the left-hand
side of the center housing (viewed from the driving position).

Rear differential unit


The GPA50 rear axle is fitted with a rear differential comprising two sun gears and four planet gears.
Sun gears and planet gears are located in an enclosed unit lubricated by the lubrication system.

Hydro-mechanical differential lock


The GPA50 rear axle is fitted with a mechanical differential lock. This is located in the right-hand support of
the rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly. It comprises a fixed dog clutch forming a unit with the ring
gear and mobile dog clutch with a return spring.
The rear differential lock is electrohydraulically controlled.

Lubrication
The pinion and left-hand taper roller bearing of the rear differential unit/ring gear assembly are lubricated by
an internal oil line from the right-hand hydraulic cover plate.
The large diameter right-hand tapered roller bearing of the rear differential unit/ring gear assembly is
lubricated by oil splash lubrication.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-95


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

The lubrication pipe to the pinion has a hole (O)


with a diameter of approximately 1.5 mm.
A jet of oil is sprayed onto the gear mesh section
of the tapered teeth of the pinion and ring gear.
This concept provides continuous lubrication of the
above-mentioned teeth, whatever the ground
profile (slopes or uneven ground).

6.4.2 Principles of operation

Operation of the hydro-mechanical differential lock

Fig. 75

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-97


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

The rear differential lock is supplied by the 21 bar low-pressure hydraulic system of the rear axle, via an
ON/OFF solenoid valve.
When the solenoid valve is activated, oil travels towards the right-hand support (17) of the rear differential
unit/crown wheel assembly (E) and supplies the chamber (C) of the piston (19).
The piston moves to the left (as viewed from the operator's seat) and drives the mobile dog clutch (21) to
engage it with the fixed dog clutch (CF) that is attached to the rear differential unit/crown wheel.
When the solenoid valve is no longer activated, a spring (22) disengages the mobile dog clutch from the
fixed dog clutch: This is the disengagement phase. The oil in the chamber (C) is then directed toward the
return via the solenoid valve.

Explanation of the operation of the rear differential


Tractor moving without the steering operated

Fig. 76

The movement coming from the gearbox drives the crown wheel and pinion and the rear differential unit
where the planet gear/sun gear assembly is locked in rotation (mechanical lock).
When the steering is not operated, the wheels follow the same course. Therefore, they turn at the same
speed.

The movement coming from the gearbox drives the crown wheel and pinion and the rear differential unit.
The rear differential unit in turn drives the planet gear/sun gear assembly at differential speeds, thus giving
each of the wheels a different course.

6.4.4 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

6.4.4.1 Adjusting the position of the pinion in the center housing (taper distance)

Introduction
The adjustment of the pinion in the center housing must be checked after replacement of one or more of
the following parts:
• the center housing
• the pinion
• the head bearing with tapered roller bearings (cone and cup).
IMPORTANT: Replacement of the pinion always requires replacement of the crown wheel.
IMPORTANT: The position of the pinion (taper distance) in the center housing must be adjusted before
shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings.

Description of the adjustment


The adjustment consists of positioning the pinion
in the center housing relative to the shaft of the
crown wheel to ensure that the pinion is correctly
engaged with the crown wheel.
This adjustment is obtained by a thickness of
shims (E) inserted between the bearing cup (7) and
the center housing.
The thickness E of shim(s) (6) required to position
the pinion is calculated according to the formula
below:
E = Z - Y2 - deltaY2 - Y1
• E = thickness of shim(s) to be fitted
• Z = theoretical nominal dimension of the center
housing 193 mm
• Y2 = theoretical nominal dimension of the
crown wheel and pinion 163 mm
• deltaY2 = variation of the theoretical nominal
dimension of the crown wheel and pinion
engraved on the top of the pinion by the
supplier
NOTE: The tooth size tolerance engraved on
the pinion by the supplier may be +/- 0,3 mm.
• Y1 = dimension to measure from the tapered
roller bearing assembly (cone (9) and bearing
cup (7))

Fig. 81

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-105


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Measurement of dimension Y1 for bearings (7) and (9)


1. Place the base of the bearing assembly (7)
(9) on a hard, perfectly flat cast-iron surface
(for example: a workshop bench plate).
2. It is important that this measurement is
taken with the help of a second operator.
One person applies a vertical, even and firm
manual pressure (C) on the bearing cup (7)
while turning it several times from left to
right on the bearing cone (9). Without
releasing the firm load (C) on the bearing cup
(7), the second operator measures the
dimension Y1 for the bearing assembly at
three points equidistant from the cup (7)
using a depth gage.
3. Take the average of the three readings. This
average should be between 29,25 mm and
29,45 mm.

Fig. 82
4. Calculate the thickness of the shim(s) (6) to
insert between the bearing cup (7) and the
center housing in order to correctly position
the pinion in the center housing relative to
the shaft of the crown wheel.

Example
E = Z - Y2 - deltaY2 - Y1
• E = thickness of shim(s) to be fitted
• Z = 193 mm
• Y2 = 163 mm
• deltaY2 = 0 mm
• Y1 = 29,33 mm Fig. 83

E = 193 - 163 - 0 - 29.30


E = 0,67 mm

6-106 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

NOTE: The difference between the


theoretical value and the thickness of shim(s)
E should not exceed 0,03 mm.
5. Calculate the shims to use to obtain the
correct pinion position. Theoretical value: E =
0,67 mm Thickness of selected shims E: E =
0.30 + 0.35 = 0,65 mm

6.4.4.2 Shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings

Introduction
Shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings with preload in the center housing must be checked after
replacing one or more of the following parts:
• the center housing
• the pinion
• the head bearing with tapered roller bearings (cone and cup).
IMPORTANT: Replacement of the pinion always requires replacement of the crown wheel.
IMPORTANT: Shimming the tapered roller bearings with preload in the center housing must be carried out
after adjusting the position of the pinion (taper distance).
This shimming consists of loading the tapered roller bearings by preloading, by fitting the cones in the
bearing cups and by manually pushing and pulling the pinion.

Preparing for shimming


This section describes shimming of the pinion tapered roller bearings of a GPA50 rear axle with or without
the super creeper option.
For each of the fittings, the shimming principle is the same. Only the profile and number of parts differ
depending on whether or not the option is fitted.

Shimming
Shimming the tapered roller bearings (11) (4) and
(9) (7) is carried out in two phases and with the
center housing in the vertical position.

Fig. 88

Phase 1
This phase consists of using a dial gage and
following the conventional method by applying a
firm axial push and pull force on the pinion (1) to
measure a clearance for the P1 shimming of the
pinion tapered roller bearings with preload.

Fig. 89

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-111


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Phase 2
This phase should fine-tune the P1 shimming by
measuring and adjusting the rotational torque of
the pinion tapered roller bearings (if necessary)
using a dial-type torque wrench.

Fig. 90

6-112 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Phase 1

Procedure
1. Fit the dial gage support on the center
housing. Position its tip on the service tool
4373043M1.
2. Push the handle of tool 4346861M1 firmly
while turning it alternately from right to left
to correctly position the tapered roller
bearing cone (11) in the cup (4).
3. Repeat the previous step by pulling firmly to
correctly position the tapered roller bearing
cone (9) in the cup (7).
4. Depending on the clearance reading on the
dial gage, select another thickness of shims
(10) to obtain a preload: P1 = 0,01 mm to
0,07 mm
NOTE: As far as possible, shim to the
maximum tolerance.

Example
• P1 = preload = 0,01 mm
• E1 = thickness of shim(s) selected to
obtain a clearance = 1,35 mm
• J = clearance measured using the dial
gage = 0,23 mm
• E = thickness of final shim(s)
E = E1 - J - P1
E = 1.35 - 0.23 - 0.01
E = 1.11
Thickness of final shim(s) according to the
available shims (use a maximum of 3 shims):
E = 0.55 + 0.55 = 1,10 mm. This gives a
preload of 0,02 mm

below: C - C1

Fig. 105

9. To this gap (I), add a shim thickness (E) of


between 0.05 mm and 0.15 mm to obtain a
preload P2 for the rear differential unit/crown
wheel assembly so that: P2 = 0.05 mm to
0.15 mm
NOTE: (I) plus (E) will be used later to adjust
the backlash between the crown wheel and
the pinion.
NOTE: The difference between the
theoretical value and the thickness of shim(s)
(I) plus (E) must not exceed 0.04 mm.
10. Check and adjust the backlash between the
crown wheel and the pinion (see
chapter Adjusting and checking the backlash
between the ring gear and the pinion, page
6-124 ).

6.4.4.4 Adjusting and checking the backlash between the ring gear and the pinion
Preliminary steps
1. Remove the rear differential unit/ring gear
assembly from the center housing.
2. Permanently refit the previously adjusted
pinion (position and shimming of the tapered
roller bearings) into the center housing (see
chapter Adjusting the position of the pinion in
the center housing (taper distance), page
6-105 and see chapter Shimming the pinion
tapered roller bearings, page 6-107 ).

Fig. 107

Adjusting the backlash between the crown wheel and the pinion
The backlash between the crown wheel and pinion is made in the center housing lying on the left-hand
side.
The method for adjusting the backlash between
the crown wheel and pinion consists of fitting (I)
then (E) selected at step see Adjusting the
backlash between the crown wheel and the
pinion step 9, page 6-123 between the bearing cup
(13) and the left-hand lubrication sleeve (29).
Temporarily fitting all the shims on the left-hand
side of the rear differential unit/crown wheel
assembly (viewed from the driving position) helps
to separate the tapered teeth of the crown wheel
from the teeth of the pinion as much as possible.
For the adjustment, simply offset the rear
differential unit/crown wheel assembly from the Fig. 108
top to the bottom or vice versa, by spreading (I)
plus (E) (without changing the overall thickness)
until a backlash of between 0.15 mm and 0.45 mm
is obtained.
This spread must be done alternately and evenly at
each end (right-hand and left-hand sides) of the
rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly.
This is done so as not to modify the tapered roller
bearing preload adjustment of this assembly (see
chapter Shimming the rear differential unit/ring
gear assembly tapered roller bearings, page
6-117 ).

Checking the backlash between the crown wheel and the pinion
The tip of the dial gage is placed at mid-height and
at the end of the tooth over three equidistant
points of the crown wheel to obtain a backlash
(crown wheel/pinion) of between 0.15 mm and
0.45 mm.
NOTE: If possible, keep to the nominal tolerance.

6.4.5.5 Removing and refitting the crown wheel


General
The rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly is
removed through the rear opening space left free
by the removal of the rear PTO.
IMPORTANT:
If the crown wheel is replaced, the pinion must
also be replaced (see chapter Removing and
refitting the pinion, page 6-151 ).
Each part bears the same number and the same
letter. They must be fitted as pairs.
The spare parts catalog makes provision for
replacement of the crown wheel and pinion under
the same reference.

Fig. 139

6.5 GPA50/Rear crown wheel and pinion 10x47


6.5.1 GPA50 general information
The crown wheel and pinion is helical.
It is a hypoid type: The pinion is lower than the crown wheel.
The rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly is supported:
• on the right-hand side by a large diameter tapered roller bearing housed in a removable support
mounted on the right-hand side of the center housing. This support also incorporates the hydro-
mechanically controlled rear differential lock.
• on the left-hand side by a tapered roller bearing housed in the wall of the center housing.
A lubrication sleeve fitted with a lip seal and sealing ring lubricate the left-hand tapered roller bearing. This
is also used to lubricate the planet gears and sun gears housed in the sealed rear differential unit.
The crown wheel and pinion has a different number of teeth as shown in the following table:

GPA5050 rear axle fitted with trumpet housings Number of pinion/crown wheel teeth
GPA54 10/47

The crown wheel is located inside the center housing and on the right-hand side of the pinion (viewed from
the driving position). The crown wheel and the fixed dog clutch for the rear differential unit form a block.
This block also acts as a cover plate for the rear differential unit.
The backlash between the pinion and the crown wheel is adjusted by shims. These are located between
the large diameter tapered roller bearing cup of the rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly and the
right-hand support of the center housing (viewed from the driving position).
The rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly tapered roller bearing preload is also adjusted by shims.
These are located between the tapered roller bearing cup and the lubrication sleeve mounted on the left-
hand side of the center housing (viewed from the driving position).

Rear differential unit


The GPA50 rear axle is fitted with a rear differential comprising two sun gears and four planet gears.
Sun gears and planet gears are located in an enclosed unit lubricated by the lubrication system.

Hydro-mechanical differential lock


The GPA50 rear axle is fitted with a mechanical differential lock. This is located in the right-hand support of
the rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly. It comprises a fixed dog clutch forming a unit with the
crown wheel and mobile dog clutch with a return spring.
The rear differential lock is electrohydraulically controlled.

Lubrication
The pinion and left-hand taper roller bearing of the rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly are
lubricated by an internal oil line from the right-hand hydraulic cover plate.
The large diameter right-hand tapered roller bearing of the rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly is
lubricated by oil splash lubrication.

The lubrication pipe to the pinion has a hole (O)


with a diameter of approximately 1,5 mm.
A jet of oil is sprayed onto the gear mesh section
of the tapered teeth of the pinion and crown
wheel.
This concept provides continuous lubrication of the
above-mentioned teeth, whatever the ground
profile (slopes or uneven ground).

6.5.2 Principles of operation

Operation of the hydro-mechanical differential lock

Fig. 181

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-175


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

The rear differential lock is supplied by the 21 bar low-pressure hydraulic system of the rear axle, via an
ON/OFF solenoid valve.
When the solenoid valve is activated, oil travels towards the right-hand support (17) of the rear differential
unit/crown wheel assembly (E) and supplies the chamber (C) of the piston (19).
The piston moves to the left (as viewed from the operator's seat) and drives the mobile dog clutch (21) to
engage it with the fixed dog clutch (CF) that is attached to the rear differential unit/crown wheel.
When the solenoid valve is no longer activated, a spring (22) disengages the mobile dog clutch from the
fixed dog clutch: This is the disengagement phase. The oil in the chamber (C) is then directed toward the
return via the solenoid valve.

Explanation of the operation of the rear differential


Tractor moving without the steering operated

Fig. 182

The movement coming from the gearbox drives the crown wheel and pinion and the rear differential unit
where the planet gear/sun gear assembly is locked in rotation (mechanical lock).
When the steering is not operated, the wheels follow the same course. Therefore, they turn at the same
speed.

6.5.4 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

6.5.4.1 Adjusting the position of the pinion in the center housing (taper distance)

Introduction
The adjustment of the pinion in the center housing must be checked after replacement of one or more of
the following parts:
• the center housing
• the pinion
• the head bearing with tapered roller bearings (cone and cup).
IMPORTANT: Replacement of the pinion always requires replacement of the crown wheel.
IMPORTANT: The position of the pinion (taper distance) in the center housing must be adjusted before
shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings.

Description of the adjustment


The adjustment consists of positioning the pinion
in the center housing relative to the shaft of the
crown wheel to ensure that the pinion is correctly
engaged with the crown wheel.
This adjustment is obtained by a thickness of
shims (E) inserted between the bearing cup (7) and
the center housing.
The thickness E of shim(s) (6) required to position
the pinion is calculated according to the formula
below:
E = Z - Y2 - deltaY2 - Y1
• E = thickness of shim(s) to be fitted
• Z = theoretical nominal dimension of the center
housing 195,25 mm
• Y2 = theoretical nominal dimension of the
crown wheel and pinion 163 mm
• deltaY2 = variation of the theoretical nominal
dimension of the crown wheel and pinion
engraved on the top of the pinion by the
supplier
NOTE: The tooth size tolerance engraved on
the pinion by the supplier may be +/- 0,3 mm.
• Y1 = dimension to measure from the tapered
roller bearing assembly (cone (9) and bearing
cup (7))

Fig. 187

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-183


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Measurement of dimension Y1 for bearings (7) and (9)


1. Place the base of the bearing assembly (7)
(9) on a hard, perfectly flat cast-iron surface
(for example: a workshop bench plate).
2. It is important that this measurement is
taken with the help of a second operator.
One person applies a vertical, even and firm
manual pressure (C) on the bearing cup (7)
while turning it several times from left to
right on the bearing cone (9). Without
releasing the firm load (C) on the bearing cup
(7), the second operator measures the
dimension Y1 for the bearing assembly at
three points equidistant from the cup (7)
using a depth gage.
3. Take the average of the three readings. This
average should be between 31,5 mm and
31,7 mm.

Fig. 188
4. Calculate the thickness of the shim(s) (6) to
insert between the bearing cup (7) and the
center housing in order to correctly position
the pinion in the center housing relative to
the shaft of the crown wheel.

Example
E = Z - Y2 - deltaY2 - Y1
• E = thickness of shim(s) to be fitted
• Z = 195,25 mm
• Y2 = 163 mm
• deltaY2 = 0 mm
• Y1 = 31,62 mm Fig. 189

E = 195.25 - 163 - 0 - 31.62


E = 0,63 mm

6-184 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

NOTE: The difference between the


theoretical value and the thickness of shim(s)
E should not exceed 0,03 mm.
5. Calculate the shims to use to obtain the
correct pinion position. Theoretical value: E =
0,63 mm Thickness of selected shims E: E =
0.30 + 0.30 = 0,60 mm

6.5.4.2 Shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings

Introduction
Shimming the pinion tapered roller bearings with preload in the center housing must be checked after
replacing one or more of the following parts:
• the center housing
• the pinion
• the head bearing with tapered roller bearings (cone and cup).
IMPORTANT: Replacement of the pinion always requires replacement of the crown wheel.
IMPORTANT: Shimming the tapered roller bearings with preload in the center housing must be carried out
after adjusting the position of the pinion (taper distance).
This shimming consists of loading the tapered roller bearings by preloading, by fitting the cones in the
bearing cups and by manually pushing and pulling the pinion.

Preparing for shimming


This section describes shimming of the pinion tapered roller bearings of a GPA50 rear axle with or without
the super creeper option.
For each of the fittings, the shimming principle is the same. Only the profile and number of parts differ
depending on whether or not the option is fitted.

Shimming
Shimming the tapered roller bearings (11) (4) and
(9) (7) is carried out in two phases and with the
center housing in the vertical position.

Fig. 194

Phase 1
This phase consists of using a dial gage and
following the conventional method by applying a
firm axial push and pull force on the pinion (1) to
measure a clearance for the P1 shimming of the
pinion tapered roller bearings with preload.

Fig. 195

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-189


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Phase 2
This phase should fine-tune the P1 shimming by
measuring and adjusting the rotational torque of
the pinion tapered roller bearings (if necessary)
using a dial-type torque wrench.

Fig. 196

6-190 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Phase 1

Procedure
1. Fit the dial gage support on the center
housing. Position its tip on the service tool
ACT0013350.
2. Push the handle of tool ACT0013360 firmly
while turning it alternately from right to left
to correctly position the tapered roller
bearing cone (11) in the cup (4).
3. Repeat the previous step by pulling firmly to
correctly position the tapered roller bearing
cone (9) in the cup (7).
4. Depending on the clearance reading on the
dial gage, select another thickness of shims
(10) to obtain a preload: P1 = 0,01 mm to
0,07 mm
NOTE: As far as possible, shim to the
maximum tolerance.

Example
• P1 = preload = 0,01 mm
• E1 = thickness of shim(s) selected to
obtain a clearance = 1,35 mm
• J = clearance measured using the dial
gage = 0,23 mm
• E = thickness of final shim(s)
E = E1 - J - P1
E = 1.35 - 0.23 - 0.01
E = 1.11
Thickness of final shim(s) according to the
available shims (use a maximum of 3 shims):
E = 0.55 + 0.55 = 1,10 mm. This gives a
preload of 0,02 mm

6.5.4.3 Shimming the rear differential unit/ring gear assembly tapered roller bearings

General
Shimming the rear differential unit/ring gear assembly tapered roller bearings with preload must be
checked after replacing one or more of the following parts:
• the center housing
• left-hand lubrication sleeve
• crown wheel and pinion
• tapered roller bearings
• rear differential unit
• rear differential right-hand support.
This shimming consists of loading the tapered roller bearings by a load applied using service tool
4346860M1 after fitting carried out by manual rotation of the cones in the bearing cups.

Preparing for shimming


Both faces of the left-hand lubrication sleeve (29) are reground. This left-hand sleeve is therefore included

below: C - C1

Fig. 211

9. To this gap (I), add a shim thickness (E) of


between 0.05 mm and 0.15 mm to obtain a
preload P2 for the rear differential unit/crown
wheel assembly so that: P2 = 0.05 mm to
0.15 mm
NOTE: (I) plus (E) will be used later to adjust
the backlash between the crown wheel and
the pinion.
NOTE: The difference between the
theoretical value and the thickness of shim(s)
(I) plus (E) must not exceed 0.04 mm.
10. Check and adjust the backlash between the
crown wheel and the pinion (see
chapter Adjusting and checking the backlash
between the ring gear and the pinion, page
6-124 ).

6.5.4.4 Adjusting and checking the backlash between the ring gear and the pinion
Preliminary steps
1. Remove the rear differential unit/ring gear
assembly from the center housing.
2. Permanently refit the previously adjusted
pinion (position and shimming of the tapered
roller bearings) into the center housing (see
chapter Adjusting the position of the pinion in
the center housing (taper distance), page
6-105 and see chapter Shimming the pinion
tapered roller bearings, page 6-107 ).

Fig. 213

Adjusting the backlash between the crown wheel and the pinion
The backlash between the crown wheel and pinion is made in the center housing lying on the left-hand
side.
The method for adjusting the backlash between
the crown wheel and pinion consists of fitting (I)
then (E) selected at step see Adjusting the
backlash between the crown wheel and the
pinion step 9, page 6-123 between the bearing cup
(13) and the left-hand lubrication sleeve (29).
Temporarily fitting all the shims on the left-hand
side of the rear differential unit/crown wheel
assembly (viewed from the driving position) helps
to separate the tapered teeth of the crown wheel
from the teeth of the pinion as much as possible.
For the adjustment, simply offset the rear
differential unit/crown wheel assembly from the Fig. 214
top to the bottom or vice versa, by spreading (I)
plus (E) (without changing the overall thickness)
until a backlash of between 0.15 mm and 0.45 mm
is obtained.
This spread must be done alternately and evenly at
each end (right-hand and left-hand sides) of the
rear differential unit/crown wheel assembly.
This is done so as not to modify the tapered roller
bearing preload adjustment of this assembly (see
chapter Shimming the rear differential unit/ring
gear assembly tapered roller bearings, page
6-117 ).

Checking the backlash between the crown wheel and the pinion
The tip of the dial gage is placed at mid-height and
at the end of the tooth over three equidistant
points of the crown wheel to obtain a backlash
(crown wheel/pinion) of between 0.15 mm and
0.45 mm.
NOTE: If possible, keep to the nominal tolerance.

Procedure
1. Remove the rear differential unit/crown
wheel assembly from the center housing,
taking care not to disperse or mix up the
shims fitted at either end of this assembly
when adjusting the backlash.
2. Fit the left-hand sleeve (29) the correct way
around so that the lubrication holes (T) are
facing towards the bottom of the center
housing.
NOTE: Take care to observe this position to
ensure that the planet gears, sun gears and
tapered roller bearings of the rear differential
unit/crown wheel assembly are lubricated
properly.

6.6 GPA50/Tractor braking


6.6.1 General
Some illustrations may show a slightly different hydro-mechanical main brake system, but its operation and
the applicable procedure are the same.
The brake concept of the GPA50 transmission has:
• a hydro-mechanical main brake system controlled by brake master cylinders
• a hand brake mechanism controlled by cable

Hydro-mechanical main brake system


The hydro-mechanical main brake system is also
called a "pulled brake system".
The mechanical components of this system are
housed in the right-hand and left-hand cavities of
the center housing of the GPA50 rear axle. The
main brake system consists of:
• two mechanisms, each composed of two
extendable platforms thanks to the balls (B)
housed in the ramps (R)
• two hydraulic brake units, located on the upper
right-hand and left-hand parts of the center
housing and controlled simultaneously or
individually by the pressure (PMC) of the brake
master cylinders
• a set of five disks and four intermediate plates
per mechanism.

Fig. 286

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-251


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Fig. 286

Hand brake mechanism


The hand brake mechanism is controlled
mechanically by cable.
It comprises:
• a lever located by the operator's left hand
• a cable connected to the two hydraulic brake
units

Fig. 287

6-252 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

6.6.2 Principles of operation

Operation of the hydro-mechanical main brake system


The operating principle of the hydro-mechanical
main brake system consists of pulling hydraulically
and simultaneously on the tie rod(s) of the
extendable mechanism(s) while one or both brake
pedals are pressed down.
This pulling is achieved by means of the pressure
(P) exerted on the piston(s) of the hydraulic brake
unit(s) by the brake master cylinder(s).
In this configuration, the brake disks attached to
the trumpet housing input sun gears by splines
and the intermediate plates attached to the center
housing by lugs compress and brake the axle
shafts, immobilizing them.

Fig. 288

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-253


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Operation of the mechanically-controlled hand brake mechanism


When you pull the hand brake lever located in the
cab, it pulls a cable and actuates the control rods
(B).
This forces the hand brake mechanisms to
separate and to compress the disks and the
intermediate plates, thus immobilizing the axle
shafts of the rear axle.
In conclusion: The hand brake mechanism
actuates the brake mechanisms as in the main
brake system, except that the action is purely
mechanical.

6.6.4 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

6.6.4.1 Adjusting the main brakes


General
The adjustment of the main brakes should be
performed on each right-hand and left-hand
hydraulic brake unit.
The first step is to tighten the adjusting nut (6)
from 9 Nm to 11 Nm.
The second step is to loosen this same nut by
three turns in order to free the disks and the
intermediate plates by approximately 0.3 mm.
A locknut (4) immobilizes the adjusting nut (6).

Disassembly
The right-hand and left-hand hydraulic brake units can be repaired. The parts needed for repairing them are
available from the spare parts catalog.
IMPORTANT: The disassembly of a hydraulic brake unit should be performed attentively, carefully and in a
clean environment.

Procedure
1. Visually note the orientation of the rod (2).
Only one rod is referenced in the spare parts
catalog. This rod can be fitted on the right-
hand hydraulic brake unit (D) or the left-hand
hydraulic brake unit (G) provided that the
identification letter (D or G) marked
respectively on each of the faces is oriented
towards the rear of the tractor (as viewed
from the operator's seat). Conclusion: The
two rods are identical and interchangeable
Nevertheless, after removing them, visually
check:
• That each rod (2) is fitted on its
corresponding hydraulic braking unit
• That their identification letter (D) or (G) is
oriented Towards the rear of the tractor
(as viewed from the operator's seat).
Carefully drive out the pin (Gp). It is retained
by a 2-mm hex socket head screw (V)
located at the end of the splined pin (24).
NOTE: The hand brake rod (2) has an oblong
hole allowing the pin (Gp), attached to the
splined pin (24), to move there freely at an
angle. This oblong hole allows the pin (Gp) to
not cause the hand brake rod (2) to move
while the hydraulic brake unit is active
(pressure from the master cylinders).

right-hand and left-hand brakes when the
tractor brakes.
Adjust the right-hand and left-hand
mechanisms of the brake system using the
nuts (6) and tighten the locknut (4) (see
chapter Adjusting the main brakes, page
6-259 ).
4. Proceed with the sealing test of the hydraulic
brake unit(s).

Fig. 337

Sealing test of the hydraulic brake unit(s)


The sealing test consists of pressurizing the hydraulic brake unit(s) to 25 bar to 30 bar approximately (oil to
a minimum of 60°C) using the pressure from the master cylinder connected to the hydraulic brake unit to
be tested.
The test will be performed with a pressure gage with sufficient capacity, a T-fitting and a hose.
The pressure gage, the T-fitting and the hose should be obtained locally.
The sealing test of the hydraulic brake unit is only valid if the pressure gage and the oil supply line are
completely sealed.

6.7 Pneumatic trailer braking


6.7.1 General

6.7.1.1 Principles of operation

Compressor (1)
The compressor is located on the front right of the engine and is permanently driven by the accessories
belt.
The compressor is connected to the engine lubrication system. Air sucked in by the compressor is filtered
through the engine air filter.

Anti-freeze pump (2)


An alcohol-based antifreeze system is injected into the lines of the pneumatic system to avoid freezing.

Regulator (3)
(1) Pressure from the compressor (via the anti-
freeze pump)
(2) Supply to the accumulators
The pressure inside the accumulators is limited by
the pressure regulator. The air pressure is
regulated between 6,9 bar and 8,3 bar. When the
pressure is reached, the surplus of air directed by
the compressor leaves the system via the
regulator and is discharged into the open air via a
muffler. This muffler is fitted on the pressure
regulator.
A safety valve opens at 12 bar.
Fig. 341

Accumulator(s) (4)
The accumulator is used as a tank. It stores a volume of pressurized air.

X168 - Pneumatic brake system pressure sensor (5)


The pressure sensor is located above the accumulator. This sensor monitors the pressure in the system.
The pressure is indicated on the central instrument panel screen.
If the pressure is below 4 bar, a warning indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel.

Manual bleed valve (6)


A manual bleed valve is located under each accumulator. This bleed valve is used to drain the water in the
system.

X339 - Progressivity solenoid valve for pneumatic trailer braking (Boost solenoid valve) (8)
The boost solenoid valve controls the control valve as well as the hydraulic control. It is controlled as soon
as the brake lights are illuminated.
The boost system improves the reaction time of the trailer braking.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 6-285


ACT0021460
6. Rear axle

Pressure relief valve (9)


(1) Pressure from the boost solenoid valve
(2) Output to the control valve control
The pressure relief valve allows you to adjust the
control pressure of the boost solenoid valve and
the trailer braking reaction time in order to have
balanced tractor/trailer braking. The higher the set
pressure, the more reactive the trailer braking. By
default, the pressure is set to the maximum.

Fig. 342

Control valve (10)


(1) Input supplied by the accumulators
(2) Output to the yellow brake coupler
(3) Bleeding the hydraulic system
(4) Control by the hydraulic braking system
(5) Control by the boost solenoid valve
The control valve is controlled by the tractor's
brake hydraulic system, the boost solenoid valve
and, mechanically, the park brake.
When the brake pedal is not activated, the control
valve is not supplied and so no pressure is
supplied to the yellow brake line.
As soon as the brake pedal is pressed, the valve is
supplied by the boost solenoid valve and then
supplied hydraulically by the braking system.

Fig. 343

Red brake coupler (12)


The red brake coupler supplies the trailer braking safety system. It is permanently supplied with
compressed air.
This coupler must be connected after the yellow brake coupler, then disconnected first.

Yellow brake coupler (13)


The yellow brake coupler supplies the trailer braking service system. The pressure in this line increases
according to the pressure on the brake pedals and use of the parking brake.

ACT0021460
7. Power take-off

An internal transfer pipe hydraulically links the cover plate previously mentioned to the port and the 21-bar
channel of the rear PTO clutch.
Pressurized oil enters the body (2) via the 21-bar
ports (O) and then flows to the restrictor (28) and
the piston (8) via an internal channel.
The pressure moves the piston which compresses
the disks and intermediate plates. The
intermediate plates (11) are splined to the bell
housing (23). The disks (21) are splined to the drive
hub (18).

Fig. 4

The outlet movement of the rear PTO clutch is then transmitted to a shaft and then to a driving gear train
fitted in the rear PTO unit. This unit is lodged behind the center housing.
When the clutch is engaged, the rear PTO brake piston is at rest and releases the lower line of the 2- or 3-
speed rear PTO unit.

Clutch disengaged position


If the solenoid valve no longer supplies the rear
PTO clutch, the piston (8) is pressed against the
bell housing (23) by the spring (19).
The oil in the hydraulic chamber of the piston (8) is
directed to the return by the proportional solenoid
valve.
The valve ball (6) leaves its seat to assist in a faster
decompression of the piston hydraulic chamber.

7.2 GPA50/Rear PTO with two electrohydraulic speeds


7.2.1 General

7.2.1.1 General
The unit fitted to the rear of the GPA50 rear axle contains all the mechanical components of the two speed
rear PTO. These elements rest on tapered roller bearings for which certain cups are fitted "tightened" and
others are "free" in the single-piece housing.
The two-speed rear PTO is independent of the transmission.
Changing between the speeds (540 - 540E) of the two-speed PTO is managed hydraulically via the
electronic system of the tractor.
In this section, only a partial description is given of each component, as more specific and detailed
descriptions are given in their respective sections.
The two-speed rear PTO is divided into four parts:
• The clutch
The clutch is located on the upper power take-off shaftline and at the front of the center housing. The
front part is fitted with a Gerotor type lubrication pump which lubricates the clutch and the gearbox. It is
supported by two ball bearings fitted in a support mounted on the center housing.
• The upper shaftline
The upper shaftline of the rear PTO transmits the engine speed to the drive gears of the rear PTO unit
via the clutch and a line consisting of three shafts. The drive gears are housed in a single-piece housing.
The tapered roller bearings supporting the drive shaft and gears are shimmed with a preload using
shim(s) inserted between the front bearing cup and the single-piece housing cover plate.
• The lower shaftline
The rear PTO lower shaftline is supported by
two tapered roller bearings mounted
respectively in the single-piece housing
The bearings are held in position by a nut
screwed to the front end of the output shaft.
Shimming by preloading the tapered roller
bearings is achieved using shims which are
inserted between the front bearing cup and the
single-piece housing.
A lip seal fitted to the single-piece housing
ensures the output shaft tightness. Fig. 35
Improved sealing is provided for cases of
prolonged use in damp environments such as
paddy fields. A special seal is then fitted to the
end of the output shaft.
The output shaft is fitted with an
interchangeable end (E) which can have 6 or 21
splines.
NOTE: The number of splines on the output
shaft depends on the nature of the driven
implement and the required rotation speed.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 7-29


ACT0021460
7. Power take-off

• The power take-off brake.


The rear PTO features an electrohydraulically
controlled piston brake (32). This piston is
located in the single-piece housing opposite the
540E driven gear (18).
A ribbed washer (31) (bimetallic) located
between the piston and the 540E driven gear
(18) ensures friction.

Fig. 36

7.2.1.2 Principles of operation


Two-speed rear PTO (540 - 540E)

Fig. 37

The two-speed rear PTO is hydraulically controlled by two ON/OFF solenoid valves which are managed by
the electronic system of the tractor.
The mechanical kinematics of the two-speed rear PTO are handled by an input and output movement (M):
• Input movement
The input movement (M) is generated by the tractor engine and transmitted to the shaft (6) and gears
which drive the upper shaftline of the rear PTO via the clutch.
• Output movement
The output movement (M) is transmitted to the driven gears (18) or (21) of the lower shaftline of the
rear PTO depending on the position (540 or 540E) of the coupler (19).

Lubrication of the rear PTO components


The upper shaftline

7-30 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
7. Power take-off

A channel and tube take the lubricant oil under pressure to the upper shaftline of the rear power take-off.
The flow of oil to the drive gears and the tapered roller bearings is controlled by calibrated ports and a seal
ring which are located, respectively, in the single-piece housing and on the rear end of the drive gear.
The lower shaftline
The lower shaftline of the rear PTO is supplied with pressure via a tube located at the end of the output
shaft and connected to the main channel of the upper shaftline.
A central channel and radial holes in the output shaft ensure that the rings, the driven gears and the lip of
the seal are lubricated.
The tapered roller bearings are lubricated by splashing.
The power take-off brake.
The power take-off brake is not lubricated under pressure. Only the serration on the friction washer and the
splashing of oil in the single-piece housing allow a film of oil to pass between the friction washer and the
540E drive gear during operation.

7.3 GPA50/Rear PTO with three electrohydraulic speeds


7.3.1 General

7.3.1.1 General
The unit fitted to the rear of the GPA50 rear axle contains all the mechanical components of the three
speed rear power take-off. These components rest on tapered roller bearings for which certain cups are
fitted "tightened" and others are "free" in the cover plate.
The three-speed rear PTO is independent of the transmission.
Changing between the 540 - 540E/1000 rpm ratios of the three-speed rear PTO is managed hydraulically
via the electronic system of the tractor.
In this section, only a partial description is given of each component, as more specific and detailed
descriptions are given in their respective sections.
The three-speed rear PTO is divided into four parts:
• The clutch
The clutch is located on the upper power take-off shaftline and at the front of the center housing. The
front part is fitted with a Gerotor type lubrication pump which lubricates the clutch and the gearbox. It is
supported by two ball bearings fitted in a support mounted on the center housing.
• The upper shaftline
The upper shaftline of the rear PTO transmits the engine speed to the drive gears via the clutch and a
line comprising three shafts. The drive gears are housed in a housing / cover plate assembly.
The tapered roller bearings supporting the drive shaft and gears are shimmed with preload using
shim(s) inserted between the front bearing cup and the cover plate.
• The lower shaftline
The rear PTO lower shaftline is supported by
two tapered roller bearings mounted in the
housing and the cover plate respectively.
Shimming by preloading the tapered roller
bearings is achieved using shims which are
inserted between the front bearing cup and the
cover plate.
A lip seal fitted to the housing ensures the
output shaft sealing.
Improved sealing is provided for cases of
prolonged use in damp environments such as Fig. 113
paddy fields. A special seal is then fitted to the
housing and at the end of the output shaft.
The output shaft is fitted with an
interchangeable end (E) which can have 6 or 21
splines.
NOTE: The number of splines on the output
shaft depends on the nature of the driven
implement and the required rotation speed.

7-70 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
7. Power take-off

• The power take-off brake.


The rear PTO features an electrohydraulically
controlled piston brake (32). This piston (32) is
located in the housing, opposite the 1000 rpm
driven gear (18).
A ribbed washer (bimetallic) (31) located
between the piston and the 1000 rpm driven
gear (18) ensures friction.

Fig. 114

7.3.1.2 Principles of operation


The three-speed rear PTO is managed hydraulically by two ON/OFF solenoid valves controlled by an
electrical pulse. The position is secured by undercuts on the teeth.
Speeds 540 and 540E are engaged by their own ON/OFF solenoid valves. The speed of 1000 rpm is
reached when both ON/OFF solenoid valves (540 - 540E) are driven at the same time.
Rear PTO with three speeds, 540 - 540E / 1000
rpm

Fig. 115

The mechanical kinematics of the three speed rear PTO is handled by the input and output movement (M):
• Input movement
The input movement (M) is generated by the tractor engine and transmitted to the shaft (6) and gears
which drive the upper shaftline of the rear PTO via the clutch.
• Output movement
The output movement (M) is transmitted to the driven gears (18), (19) or (26) of the rear PTO depending
on the position (540, 540E or 1000 rpm) of the coupler (22).

MF 5700 SL series tractors 7-71


ACT0021460
7. Power take-off

Lubrication of the rear PTO components


The upper shaftline
A channel and tube take the lubricant oil under pressure to the upper shaftline of the rear power take-off.
The flow of oil to the drive gears and the tapered roller bearings are controlled by a calibrated port and a
seal ring which are located, respectively, in the housing and on the rear end of the drive gear.
The lower shaftline
The lower shaftline of the rear PTO is supplied with pressure via a tube located at the end of the output
shaft and connected to the main channel of the upper shaftline.
A central channel and radial holes in the output shaft ensure that the rings, the driven gears and the lip of
the seal are lubricated.
The tapered roller bearings are lubricated by splashing.
The power take-off brake.
The power take-off brake is not lubricated under pressure. Only the serration on the friction washer and the
splashing of oil in the housing allow a film of oil to pass between the friction washer and the 1000 rpm
drive gear during operation.

7.4 GPA50/GSPTO
7.4.1 General

7.4.1.1 General
GSPTO is an abbreviation of "ground speed power take-off". It is designed to vary the rear power take-off
speed of rotation according to the forward speed of the tractor.
In contrast to the independent power take-off system where the power take-off shaft speed depends on
the engine speed, the GSPTO is driven by the pinion and therefore the power take-off shaft speed is
proportional to the tractor travel speed.

The solenoid valve (X728) supplies the piston (19) which moves the fork (16) and the shaft (10) toward the
front. The splines of the shaft (10) engage in the driven gear (2). The drive shaft (10) on the rear power
take-off connects with the drive pinion.
The switch (X729) informs the Autotronic 5 of the position of the piston (19).

Disengaged position (2)


The low pressure system continuously supplies the piston (19) so that the splines of the shaft (10) are
disengaged from the gear (2).

X728 - GSPTO solenoid valve is located on the rear


axle housing.
A transfer pipe hydraulically connects the cover of
the solenoid valve and the rear power take-off unit.

7. Power take-off

7.5.2.2 Hydraulics

Fig. 208

The PTO clutch (7) is a wet multidisc type. It drives a hydraulic gear pump (11), which provides the
pressure for engaging the clutch, lubricating the system and cooling.
The front power take-off hydraulic system is self-contained. The clutch unit (7) drives the pump gears (11)
via the gear (10). The system pressure is limited by a valve (12) set to 20 bar. The cooling system (14) is
protected by a valve (13) set to 6 bar. The solenoid valve (4) directs the pressure to the clutch or the tank.
NOTE:
The pump flow is around 4 l/min.

8.1.3 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

8.1.3.1 Adjustments/General
The geometry of the front axles refers to the set of dimensional and kinematic characteristics of the
mechanical system connecting the chassis to the front wheel. It also determines the degrees of freedom
of the steering system. This geometry is defined by three angles:
• Camber: This is the angle between the wheel
and the plane perpendicular to the ground along
the longitudinal axis of the tractor. This angle is
measured in degrees and minutes. We speak
of positive (1st image) or negative (2nd image)
camber. This angle is not adjustable with this
model of front axle.

Fig. 3

Fig. 3

8-6 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

• Castor angle: This causes self-alignment of the


steered wheels along the axis of movement of
the tractor. The castor angle is measured in
degrees and minutes. Castor plays an
important role in the steering behavior of the
tractor. When cornering, the castor gives
negative camber to the outer wheel and
positive camber to the inner wheel, which
increases the grip of the front axle. The
centrifugal force thus generates a moment that
returns the steering, because the steering
tends to turn in the opposite direction of
cornering. This angle is not adjustable with this
model of front axle. Fig. 4
• Wheel alignment: This is the only adjustable
angle on this type of front axle. It is easily
adjusted, does not require any complex tools
and takes the mechanic only a relatively short
time to carry out the adjustment. These
distances are adjustable using the adjustment
tubes at each end of the steering cylinders.
There are two possible positions for a front
axle. It is called toe-in when the planes of the
wheels tend to cross in front of the
undercarriage concerned. It is called toe-out
when the planes of the wheels tend to cross
behind the undercarriage concerned.

8.2.2 Principles of operation


The front axle receives movement via the
transmission shaft coming from the gearbox. The
transfer of this movement is governed by a clutch,
which is located between the gearbox and the
transmission shaft. The cab control is electric, but
the mechanical action on the clutch is hydraulic.
The transmission shaft drives the pinion (1) from
the crown wheel and pinion, which in turn drives
the ring gear. This then transfers the movement
through the differential, which drives the axle
shafts and the epicyclic gear trains of the reduction
units located in the final drives. The front wheels
are then set in motion.
Differential locking is governed by a dog clutch in
line with operator usage. The control is electric in
the cab and hydraulic in the front axle.

Fig. 14
A double-acting ram (2) provides the steering. This
is controlled by a hydraulic steering unit (3). The
steering unit is supplied by the tractor's high-
pressure hydraulic system.

8.3 Front suspension for DANA 730 axle


8.3.1 General

8.3.1.1 General information - front suspension


Tractors in the MF 5700 SL range are fitted with a front suspension, the design of which takes into account
the power of the tractor. This suspension consists of two shock absorbers at the front, a front axle
attached to two bearings on a support that is hinged at the engine sump. This suspension provides
improved comfort.

8.3.2 Principles of operation


In all scenarios, the 1.1 mm restrictor makes it possible to limit the flow rate when raising and lowering.
The 1.5 mm restrictor makes it possible to avoid having the entire flow rate of the pump at the 100 bar
pressure relief valve, and thus to avoid its oversizing.
The 250 bar valve is used in overload mode to avoid damaging the components in the hydraulic system.

Fig. 18

During lifting, the (RV) Riser Valve (Ref. 6) and (LV) Lower Valve (Ref. 5) solenoid valves are electrically
powered. The (RV) Riser Valve supplies fluid to the large displacement cylinders and accumulator (2) (Ref.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 8-21


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

2). The piston pushes the fluid from the small displacement cylinder through the controlled valves toward
the tank and toward the block up to point (A). At the same time, the pump sends fluid toward point (A) by
entering the (LV) Lower Valve solenoid valve. The relief valve (7) opens as soon as the pressure exceeds
100 bar and releases the fluid toward the tank. The two solenoid valves are supplied in order to create a
counter-pressure and thus reduce the lowering speed, which would be too sudden without this system.

Fig. 19

During lowering, the solenoid valve (LV) Lower Valve is electrically powered. The fluid enters the small
displacement cylinder. The piston pushes the fluid from the large displacement cylinder toward the tank
through the controlled valve (15) of the (RV) Riser Valve solenoid valve. At the same time, the pump sends
fluid toward the (LV) Lower Valve solenoid valve. This fluid is directed toward the small displacement
cylinders and toward the accumulator (1), until the pressure of the relief valve (7) 100 bar is reached. Once
this pressure has been exceeded it is directed toward the tank.

8-22 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Fig. 20

In low position, to manually move the front axle to the lowered position, turn the screw (19). This screw,
which is located on the control unit, releases the pressure in the cylinder chambers (of the large
displacement cylinder), and so directs the fluid toward the tank.
WARNING:
Depending on the pressure in the cylinders, the axle may rise slightly before reaching the
low position, due to the pressure in the large displacement cylinder being greater than
that in the small displacement cylinder.

8.4.1 General

8.4.1.1 General
The 4WD front axle clutch assembly (E) is fitted on
the lower section of the GPA50 rear axle. A cover
plate (C) under the center housing provides access
to the 4WD clutch.
The tractor must be disassembled to allow access
to the retainer ring (2), which is sometimes
unfavorably oriented at an angle, and access to the
shaft (1) and to extract the hydraulic ring (12),
which is force fitted into the center housing.

8.4.1.2 Principles of operation

Construction
The helical bell gear (13) is constantly meshed with
the driving gear (PM), which is splined to the
pinion.

Fig. 54
The clutch assembly (E) is shimmed in clutch
disengaged position (compressed Belleville springs
(16)) to obtain a clearance J1 from 0.9 mm to
1.1 mm between the retainer ring (9) and the
shim(s) (8).

Fig. 55

MF 5700 SL series tractors 8-43


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Two ball bearings (10) and (21) support the shaft


(1) and no shimming is required. A single 1.95 mm
to 2.05 mm thick shim (3) fills the space between
the ball bearing (21) and the retainer ring (2).

Fig. 56
The shaft (35) is sealed by a lip seal (33) protected
by a dust seal (34).
An "O" ring (25) provides a seal between the center
housing and the bearing assembly (E).

Fig. 57

8-44 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Principles of operation
The clutch assembly is in 2WD mode when it is hydraulically engaged (21 bar) via its ON/OFF solenoid
valve: The disks and intermediate plates are then released by value J1 (0.9 mm to 1.1 mm).
The front axle then becomes passive.
The clutch assembly is in 4WD mode when the hydraulic pressure (21 bar) is cut and when the Belleville
springs are released to the limit of J1 (0.9 mm to 1.1 mm), locking the rotation of the disks and the
intermediate plates on the shaft.
The front axle is then active.

8.4.2 Layout of components

8.4.2.1 Layout of components


The 4WD clutch mechanism consists of:
• A shaft (1) turning on two ball bearings (10) and
(21) fitted in the bores of the center housing
• A hydraulic clutch assembly (E) attached to the
rotating shaft (1)
• A bell gear (13) driving the rotation of the disks
(14) of the clutch
NOTE: This gear is centered on the shaft (1) by
a friction ring.
• A hydraulic ring (12) and two hook-type seal
rings (11) for pressurized supply (21 bar) of the
4WD clutch.

8.4.3 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

8.4.3.1 Specifications
Shimming
(A) Shimming involves simply filling the space
between the front ball bearing and the
retainer ring with a single 1.95-mm- to 2.05-
mm-thick shim, without the need to measure
it

Fig. 63

Lubrication
The 4WD clutch assembly is immersed in
transmission oil. The oil comes from the axial
channel (C) and radial channels (C1) to (C4) to
lubricate the disks, intermediate plates, bell gear
ring and rear ball bearing by gravity.
The front ball bearing is lubricated as it moves.
The 4WD clutch assembly is housed in a
compartment isolated from the center housing in
order to limit any oil splashes or foam arising from
the rotational movement.

8.5 Steering unit/Open Center


8.5.1 General
The spool valve (Orbitrol) is attached to the pedal
console and is housed in the center of the cab
front bulkhead. Its specifications are written on a
plate riveted to the lower part of the spool valve.
The hydrostatic steering system has no
mechanical connection between the steering
wheel and steering ram.
The system comprises the following main
components:
• A pressurized oil supply from the low flow rate
stage of the hydraulic pump
• A hydrostatic steering spool valve (Orbitrol)
fitted in parallel Fig. 92
• A double acting central ram fitted to the front
axle
The Orbitrol comprises a selector spool valve, a
spring centered supply sleeve and a drive shaft
linked to the steering column. The system is
protected by a relief valve, two security valves and
two suction valves.
It has four hydraulic ports:
• Pressure
• Return to the 21-bar valve
• Two supplies to the steering ram.

8.5.2 Principles of operation


The spool valve receives a priority supply from the low flow rate system. When the steering wheel is
turned, the necessary oil flow is directed to the corresponding side of the steering ram. Excess flow rate
not required by the ram is directed via the return ports to the 21-bar valve located on the right-hand
hydraulic cover plate. In the event of an engine breakdown or hydraulic failure, the spool valve acts as a
manual pump and allows the tractor to be steered.
NOTE: Operating in this way requires greater effort to be applied to the steering wheel.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 8-73


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Neutral position (engine running)

Fig. 93

In neutral position (engine running), the spool valve (25) is centered in relation to the sleeve (27) by the
springs (13). The channels (P1) and (R) are not supplied. The oil coming from the port (P) passes directly via
the hose T to supply the 21-bar valve. The circuit is open center. Two security valves (20) and two suction
valves (23) are located in ports (L) and (R) of the spool valve. The security valves (20) protect the system
between the steering ram and the spool valve from shocks to the wheels. The suction valves (23) allow the
oil released by the security valves (20) to pass from the right-hand channel to the left-hand channel or vice
versa depending on the movement of the piston inside the steering ram.

8-74 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Steering in lock position (engine running)

Fig. 94

Action on the steering wheel (to the right or left) produces an angular displacement of the spool valve (25)
in relation to the sleeve (27). The flow coming from the pump is directed to the metering device (stator (6)
and rotor (9)). The rotor (9) is rotated and directs back to the ram a quantity of oil proportional to the
rotational angle. The rotor (9) turns proportionally to the steering wheel. Example: Let us suppose that the
steering wheel is turned by 5°. An angular displacement of 5° of the spool valve (25) is produced in relation
to the sleeve (27). The rotor (9) is rotated as long as it is supplied. It drives with it the connecting shaft (11)
and the sleeve (27). When these have turned 5°, the spool valve (25) and the sleeve (27) are centered
again by the springs (13). The rotor is no longer supplied and stops. The same logic applies for greater
angles. The quantity of oil delivered by the steering unit to the ram (A) is therefore proportional to the
rotational angle of the steering wheel. Depending on whether steering lock is applied to the left or right,
the spool valve (25) directs the oil delivered by the metering device (stator (6) and rotor (9)) to port (L) or
(R). During rotation, the sleeve (27) ensures the synchronous communication of the metering device
cavities with the system from the pump, on the one-hand, and the system to the ram A, on the other hand.
A non-return valve (26) is screwed into the supply port of the spool valve. This one-way valve stops
excessive pressure received by the wheels from being transmitted to the pump whenever steering lock is
applied. If the pressure in the steering system is too high, the relief valve (18) located in the spool valve is
activated: The excess pressure is then directed to the channel (T).

MF 5700 SL series tractors 8-75


ACT0021460
8. Front axle

Manual steering (engine stopped)

Fig. 95

When the pump is no longer operating or the available pressure is too low, the metering device is no
longer hydraulically driven. It is no longer power assisted. In this case, action on the steering wheel
compresses the centring springs (13). The angular clearance between the pin (7) and the sleeve (27) is
reduced to zero, resulting in mechanical rotation of the metering device (stator (6) and rotor (9)). The spool
valve then operates in the same way as a hand pump. The oil returning from the ram (A) passes through
the non-return valve (22) and supplies the metering device. The pressure generated is proportional to the
torque applied to the steering wheel. A greater effort is therefore required to turn the steering wheel.

8.6 Steering unit/Closed Center


8.6.1 General
The steering system used on the tractors is a hydrostatic system with no mechanical linkage between the
steering wheel and the steering ram.
Its control system is closed center with a dynamic Load Sensing load signal.

Steering unit
The simple steering unit comprises:
• A main unit with pump supply ports, tank
return, Load Sensing and steering ram supply
• A selector spool valve activated by the steering
wheel
• A gear pump activated by the steering wheel

Fig. 116
The electrohydraulic steering unit comprises:
• A main unit with pump supply ports, tank
return, Load Sensing and steering ram supply
• A selector spool valve activated by the steering
wheel
• A gear pump activated by the steering wheel
• An electrohydraulic steering control unit
• A solenoid valve

Fig. 117

Electrohydraulic steering
The electrohydraulic steering unit assists with the operation of the SpeedSteer and Auto-Guide™ functions.
A rotary sensor is mounted between the steering
column and the steering unit. It informs the
controller of the position of the steering wheel.

8.6.2 Hydraulic operating principle


Neutral steering wheel

Fig. 119
(Pdir Pump pressure (P) Gear pump
) (T) Spool valve distributor
(LS) Load Sensing (V) Steering ram
(D) Steering unit
The Load Sensing line (LS) is connected to the tank return.
The pump flow (Pdir) is blocked by the spool valve distributor (T). The pressure increases and enables the
priority valve to direct the pump flow to the non-priority functions.
Activated steering wheel

Fig. 120
(Pdir Pump pressure (P) Gear pump
) (T) Spool valve distributor
(LS) Load Sensing (V) Steering ram
(D) Steering unit
The Load Sensing line (LS) is connected to the pump pressure from the spool valve distributor (T). This
pressure activates the priority valve. The pump flow (Pdir) is sent to the steering unit (D). The spool valve
distributor (T) sends the pump flow (Pdir) to the gear pump (P) then to the steering ram (V).

8.6.3 Electrohydraulic operating principle


Depending on the model, the steering unit may be electrohydraulically controlled to provide the
SpeedSteer and Auto-Guide™ functions. The unit includes additional spools and a PVE module for
electrohydraulic steering.

Hydraulic operation

Fig. 121
(PVE Electrohydraulic steering module (RV) Steering pressure relief valve
) (LSR Load Sensing valve
(EH) Electrohydraulic activation valve )
(EV) Solenoid valve (DV) Steering control spool
The EV solenoid valve must be powered for the electrohydraulic function. In this case:
• The PVE module is powered by the control pressure (12 bar) from the RV valve.
• The EH valve is moved by the control pressure and connects the steering control spool DV to the
steering ram
The PVE module provides control of the steering spool DV thanks to the pressure regulated by the RV
valve.
To power the steering ram (to turn right in this example), the PVE module moves the DV spool. The
pressure supply is connected to the steering ram and the Load Sensing LSR valve. The Load Sensing LSR
valve creates a restriction in the main Load Sensing line and closes the dynamic Load Sensing flow coming
from the priority valve. The Load Sensing pressure created controls the priority valve to provide the
necessary flow rate and pressure.

Description of PVE module

Fig. 122
(PE) Control pressure supply (E) Control solenoid valves
(DV) Steering control spool (C) Position sensor
The PVE module mainly consists of four solenoid valves (E) and one position sensor (C). The solenoid
valves (E) control the movement of the spool (DV) thanks to the pressure (PE). The sensor (C) informs the
controller of the spool position.

9.1 GPA50/Open Center


9.1.1 General
The open center hydraulic system comprises two
separate systems.
These two systems are supplied by a two-stage
gear pump (1) fitted to the internal face of the
right-hand hydraulic cover plate (2). The pump
sucks transmission oil from the common tank
formed by the center housing and the gearbox
through a 150 micron strainer (3) fitted in the
transmission.
A 15 micron main filter (4) and a blockage indicator
(5) are fitted to the low flow rate system upstream
of the Orbitrol steering spool valve. The hydraulic
pump is driven by the ring gear of the PTO clutch
unit.

Fig. 1

9.1.2 Principles of operation

9.1.2.1 Low-pressure system, low flow rate


NOTE: The first stage of the pump supplies the hydrostatic steering where the pressure can reach 170 bar.

Hydraulic flow
At the outlet of the 11-cm³ (GTA5050) or 14-cm³
(GTA2550) pump, the oil is directed to the 15-
micron filter (1). At the filter outlet, the oil supplies
the Orbitrol steering spool valve (2).
After supplying the Orbitrol steering spool valve as
required, the oil is redirected to the right-hand
cover plate attached to the center housing. This
cover plate performs several low-pressure
functions.
It ensures:
• an operating pressure for the various
transmission components via a 21-bar valve (2)
fitted downstream of the Orbitrol unit; Fig. 2
• cooling and lubrication of the gearbox and
connected components

MF 5700 SL series tractors 9-5


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

Transmission components
The 21-bar system, regulated by the valve (3), supplies, in parallel, the various transmission functions
through internal channels in the gearbox housing.
None of these functions has priority and they may be activated simultaneously. The solenoid valves (4-
wheel drive, power take-off, Dyna-4, Dyna-6 and reverse drive) are connected to the tractor's electronic
system.
The functions supplied by the low flow rate system are as follows:
• the hydrostatic steering
• the PowerShuttle
• the gearbox
• the Dyna-4, Dyna-6 ratios
• the differential lock (front and rear)
• the power take-off systems:
- clutch,
- brake,
- power take-off speed selector switch
- charge for brake master cylinders

Cooling and lubrication


After supplying the various transmission components, the oil passes through the thermostatic unit (4) (if
fitted) located on the right-hand cover plate. Depending on the temperature of the oil, it opens or does not
open the cooling system (5).
The oil leaving the thermostatic unit is directed to the lubrication system of the rear axle and power take-
off. The lubrication pressure is maintained by a valve set to 3 bar located in the right-hand cover plate.
The gearbox is lubricated by a gerotor type pump located at the rear of the gearbox and driven by the
power take-off shaft. A check valve limits its pressure to 1.5 bar.

9.1.2.2 High-pressure system, high flow rate


At the 19-cm³ pump outlet, the oil is directed to
the trailer brake spool valve (1) (if fitted), then to
the auxiliary spool valves (2) and the linkage valve
(3) located above the rear axle.
A safety valve, set to 195 bar (4) and fitted into the
right-hand cover plate, protects the high-pressure
system.
The excess flow rate from the spool valves returns
to the rear axle lubrication system, limited to 3 bar,
and to the pump suction manifold via a restrictor
without passing through the 150-micron filter.

9.1.4 Hydraulic tests

9.1.4.1 General
The open center hydraulic system comprises two systems: The low flow rate system and the high flow
rate system.
Functions of the low-pressure system (21 bar):
• PowerShuttle
• Powershift module
• Power take-off brake and clutch
• 4WD clutch
• Front and rear differential lock (if fitted)
• Ranges 1 to 4 of the robotic gearbox
• Steering spool valve (Orbitrol)
Functions of the high-pressure system:
• Trailer brake spool valve (if fitted)
• Auxiliary spool valves
• Linkage spool valve
• Suspended front axle (if fitted)

Preliminary steps
Before starting the tests, run the engine at 2000 rpm to raise the oil temperature to 60°C minimum.
To make the rise in temperature easier, connect a flowmeter to one of the auxiliary spool valves other than
the one supplied by the flow divider (if fitted) and limit the flow through the flowmeter.
As soon as the oil temperature reaches or exceeds 60°C, release the lever of the auxiliary spool valve and
open the flowmeter load valve to the maximum.
IMPORTANT:
In all cases, ensure the direction of oil flow is correct in order to avoid any damage to the flowmeter.
Also choose pressure gages, hoses and unions of sufficient capacity and strength for the checks to be
carried out.
NOTE: To perform the tests in this section, you are advised to use the pressure and flow rate test kit
available in the AGCO network under reference number AG01C.

9.2 GPA50/Open Center/Right-hand cover plate


9.2.1 General
The right-hand cover plate is fitted to the rear axle housing and has two main functions:
• it supports numerous hydraulic system components
• it incorporates various suction and cooling channels of the high and low flow rate systems (high and low
pressure).
On its internal face, the cover plate is connected to the:
• two-stage hydraulic pump and its drive gear
• suction pipe
• inlet manifold
On its external faces, it is connected to the:
• safety valve in the high pressure system
• safety valve in the low pressure system
• safety valve in the lubrication system
• trailer brake valve (if fitted) or a cover plate (depending on option)
• diagnostics connectors
• 15 micron main filter
• filter switch

9.2.2 Thermostatic valve


A thermostatic valve can be fitted on the right-hand cover plate. This allows the oil cooling system to be
opened according to its temperature.

Thermostatic valve closed (case A)


When the oil temperature is below 70°C, the spring (3) pushes the thermostatic valve (2), which directs the
oil to the outlet of the thermostatic valve unit (1) via an internal channel and then to the right-hand cover
plate.
The oil does not circulate in the cooler (4).

Thermostatic valve open (case B)


When the oil temperature reaches 70°C, the heat causes the thermostatic valve (2) to push back the spring
(3). The body of the thermostatic valve (2) gradually opens the cooling system and directs the oil to the
cooler (4).
When the temperature is 85°C or above, the thermostatic valve (2) is fully open. All the flow is directed to
the cooler (4).
The cooler return (4) passes through the thermostatic valve unit (1) and is then directed to the right-hand
cover plate.

9.3 GPA50/100 l/min Open Center


9.3.1 General
The 100 L/min Open Center hydraulic system
comprises three separate systems.
These three systems are supplied by a two-stage
gear pump (1), which is fitted to the internal face
of the right-hand hydraulic cover plate (2) and by a
gear pump (3) fitted to the internal face of the left-
hand hydraulic cover plate (4). The pumps suck
transmission oil from the common tank formed by
the center housing and the gearbox through a 150
micron strainer (5) fitted in the transmission.
A 15 micron main filter (6) and a blockage indicator
(7) are fitted to the low flow rate system upstream
of the Orbitrol steering spool valve. The hydraulic
pumps are driven by the ring gear of the PTO
clutch unit.

Fig. 49

9.3.2 Principles of operation

9.3.2.1 Low-pressure system, low flow rate


NOTE: The first stage of the pump supplies the hydrostatic steering where the pressure can reach 170 bar.

Hydraulic flow
At the outlet of the 11-cm³ (GTA5050) or 14-cm³
(GTA2550) pump, the oil is directed to the 15-
micron filter (1). At the filter outlet, the oil supplies
the Orbitrol steering spool valve (2).
After supplying the Orbitrol steering spool valve as
required, the oil is redirected to the right-hand
cover plate attached to the center housing. This
cover plate performs several low-pressure
functions.
It ensures:
• an operating pressure for the various
transmission components via a 21-bar valve (2)
fitted downstream of the Orbitrol unit; Fig. 50
• cooling and lubrication of the gearbox and
connected components

MF 5700 SL series tractors 9-43


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

Transmission components
The 21-bar system, regulated by the valve (3), supplies, in parallel, the various transmission functions
through internal channels in the gearbox housing.
None of these functions has priority and they may be activated simultaneously. The solenoid valves (4-
wheel drive, power take-off, Dyna-4, Dyna-6 and reverse drive) are connected to the tractor's electronic
system.
The functions supplied by the low flow rate system are as follows:
• the hydrostatic steering
• the PowerShuttle
• the gearbox
• the Dyna-4, Dyna-6 ratios
• the differential lock (front and rear)
• the power take-off systems:
- clutch,
- brake,
- power take-off speed selector switch
- charge for brake master cylinders

Cooling and lubrication


After supplying the various transmission components, the oil passes through the thermostatic unit (4) (if
fitted) located on the right-hand cover plate. Depending on the temperature of the oil, it opens or does not
open the cooling system (5).
The oil leaving the thermostatic unit is directed to the lubrication system of the rear axle and power take-
off. The lubrication pressure is maintained by a valve set to 3 bar located in the right-hand cover plate.
The gearbox is lubricated by a gerotor type pump located at the rear of the gearbox and driven by the
power take-off shaft. A check valve limits its pressure to 1.5 bar.

9.3.2.2 High-pressure system, high flow rate


19 cm³ pump system
At the 19-cm³ pump outlet, oil is directed towards
the trailer brake spool valve (1) (if fitted) then
towards the left-hand cover plate through an
internal channel (2) see Fig. 52 .
A safety valve set to 195 bar (3) and fitted into the
right-hand cover plate protects the high-pressure
system of the linkage spool valve.
The excess flow from the linkage spool valve
returns to the rear axle lubrication, limited to 3 bar,
and to the pump suction manifold via a restrictor
without passing through the 150-micron filter.
On the left-hand cover plate see Fig. 52 , the
flow from the 19-cm³ pump is directed via the Fig. 51
spool (9):
• Solenoid valve (6) not supplied
Towards the outlet (5) then towards the linkage
spool valve.
• Solenoid valve (6) supplied
Towards the outlet (4) then towards the
auxiliary spool valves.

14 cm³ pump system


At the outlet of the 14-cm³ pump, oil is directed
towards the outlet (4) then towards the auxiliary
spool valves.
A safety valve (7), set to 195 bar and fitted into the
right-hand cover plate, protects the high-pressure
system of the auxiliary spool valves.

• Trailer brake spool valve (if fitted)


• Auxiliary spool valves
• Linkage spool valve
• Suspended front axle (if fitted)

Preliminary steps
Before starting the tests, run the engine at 2000 rpm to raise the oil temperature to 60°C minimum.
To make the rise in temperature easier, connect a flowmeter to one of the auxiliary spool valves other than
the one supplied by the flow divider (if fitted) and limit the flow through the flowmeter.
As soon as the oil temperature reaches or exceeds 60°C, release the lever of the auxiliary spool valve and
open the flowmeter load valve to the maximum.
IMPORTANT:
In all cases, ensure the direction of oil flow is correct in order to avoid any damage to the flowmeter.
Also choose pressure gages, hoses and unions of sufficient capacity and strength for the checks to be
carried out.
NOTE: To perform the tests in this section, you are advised to use the pressure and flow rate test kit
available in the AGCO network under reference number AG01C.

Thermostatic valve closed (case A)


When the oil temperature is below 70°C, the spring (3) pushes the thermostatic valve (2), which directs the
oil to the outlet of the thermostatic valve unit (1) via an internal channel and then to the right-hand cover
plate.
The oil does not circulate in the cooler (4).

Thermostatic valve open (case B)


When the oil temperature reaches 70°C, the heat causes the thermostatic valve (2) to push back the spring
(3). The body of the thermostatic valve (2) gradually opens the cooling system and directs the oil to the
cooler (4).
When the temperature is 85°C or above, the thermostatic valve (2) is fully open. All the flow is directed to
the cooler (4).
The cooler return (4) passes through the thermostatic valve unit (1) and is then directed to the right-hand
cover plate.

9.6 GPA50/Closed Center


9.6.1 General
The hydraulic system is closed center with controlled pressure and flow rate.
It consists of two separate systems (high and low pressure) supplied by a variable displacement pump with
a maximum flow rate of 45 cm³ per revolution. The variable displacement pump is supplied by a fixed
displacement charge pump of 60 cm³ per revolution.
The two pumps are driven by the PTO clutch external teeth.

Charge pump
The charge pump is fitted to the right-hand cover plate. It sucks oil through a strainer from the common
tank formed by the center housing and gearbox.
The charge flow is then directed towards the thermostatic valve/main filter assembly, and towards the
cooling system depending on the oil temperature. The charge system supplies:
• The variable displacement pump on the left-hand cover plate via a connecting pipe
• Brake lubrication
• Rear PTO lubrication
• Differential lubrication
• Pinion lubrication
• Gearbox lubrication
The safety valve set to 3 bar, located in the right-hand cover plate, maintains the charge pressure.

Variable displacement pump


The variable displacement pump fitted on the left-hand cover plate supplies via a connecting pipe either
one or two priority blocks (depending on option) fitted on the right-hand cover plate:
• One block for tractors without hydraulic trailer braking
• Two blocks for tractors with hydraulic trailer braking
The first block supplies:
• First priority, the steering system
• Second priority, the 21-bar slave system.
If a second unit is fitted, it shares the priority between the steering system and the trailer braking system.
Once the priorities have been met, the remaining oil flow becomes available to the auxiliary spool valves
and the linkage spool valve.
All the control signals from the various high-pressure valves are directed to the priority block(s) to then be
transmitted to the variable displacement pump regulator.
The regulator takes into account the control signal corresponding to the function requiring the highest
pressure.

9.6.2 Principles of operation

Principle of the Load Sensing system


The purpose of the closed center Load Sensing hydraulic system is to limit the power absorbed by the
engine. If no hydraulic slave device is actuated, no flow is discharged by the variable displacement pump.
When a function is activated, the pump only supplies the output required for that function.
IMPORTANT: If the housing is drained, or if the main filter is replaced or any service operation results in air
entering the system, it is essential to prime the hydraulic system.

9.6.4 Tests and diagnostics

9.6.4.1 General
The Load Sensing (closed center) hydraulic system with flow rate and pressure regulation comprises two
separate systems: The low pressure system and the high pressure system.
Functions of the low-pressure system (21 bar):
• PowerShuttle
• Powershift module
• Power take-off brake and clutch
• 4WD clutch
• Front and rear differential lock (if fitted)
• Ranges 1 to 4 of the robotic gearbox
Functions of the high-pressure system:
• Steering spool valve (Orbitrol)
• Trailer brake spool valve (if fitted)
• Auxiliary spool valves
• Linkage spool valve
• Front axle suspension (if fitted)
• Cab suspension (if fitted)

Preliminary steps
Before starting the tests, run the engine at 2000 rpm to raise the oil temperature to 60°C minimum.
To assist the rise in temperature, connect a flowmeter to an auxiliary spool valve and limit the flowmeter
flow rate.
As soon as the oil temperature reaches or exceeds 60°C, release the lever of the auxiliary spool valve and
open the flowmeter load valve to the maximum.
IMPORTANT: In all cases, ensure the direction of oil flow is correct in order to avoid any damage to the
flowmeter.
Also choose pressure gages, hoses and unions of sufficient capacity and strength for the checks to be
carried out.
NOTE: To perform the tests in this section, you are advised to use the pressure and flow rate test kit
available in the AGCO network under reference number AG01C.

Values measured during the tests


• Minimum flow rate: 5 L/min
• Maximum pressure: 200 bar

9.7.2 Principles of operation


Charge system and filtration

Fig. 130

The charge pump (2) is driven by the PTO clutch unit (3). Oil is sucked into the bottom of the rear axle
housing via a 150 µ strainer (1). At the pump outlet (2), the oil is directed by the manifold (4) towards the
right-hand cover plate then the 15 µ filter (5). The 15 µ filter is fitted with a thermostatic valve that sends
the oil towards the cooling system, depending on its temperature. In the right-hand cover plate, the filtered
and cooled oil supplies the lubricating channels for the brake master cylinder transmission and charge. The
oil flow is then sent towards the left-hand cover plate and the high-pressure pump by a tube connecting
the two hydraulic cover plates (6).

• the lubrication of the differential, drive pinion and power take-off unit (13) via the 4-mm nozzle (12)
• the feed for the brake master cylinder (11)
The 3-bar valve (14) regulates the charge pressure.

Low pressure system

Fig. 132

9-118 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

The priority block supplies the 21-bar low-pressure system via the channel (15). The safety valve (16) is set
to 26 bar and helps to prevent overpressure in the system. The low-pressure safety switch (17) informs the
tractor's electronic system if the pressure is too low. The pressure connector (18) is used to control the
system. The low-pressure system passes through the 60 µ filter (19) before supplying the various
functions.
The low-pressure system supplies:
• the creeper unit controls (20)
• the gearbox controls (21)
• the 4-wheel drive clutch (22)
• the rear PTO controls (23).

9.7.3 Filtration and cooling

15 µ filter and thermostatic valve

Fig. 133

The 15 µ filtration unit (1) has a thermostatic valve (6) that opens or closes the oil cooling system (7).
The flow (2) from the charge pump, located on the internal face of the right-hand cover plate, enters the
unit and is then directed to the filter (4).

MF 5700 SL series tractors 9-119


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

The filtered oil (5) is directed by the thermostatic valve (6):


• if the oil is cold: toward the right-hand cover plate and the lubrication and charge system via the channel
(3)
• if the oil is hot: toward the oil cooler (7) located on the engine cooling unit, then toward the right-hand
cover plate and the lubrication and charge system via the channel (3).
The bypass valve (8) opens in case of overpressure in the cooling system.
The filter blockage switch (9) informs the tractor's electronic system if there is a difference in pressure
greater than 5 bar between the filter inlet and outlet.

9.7.4 Priority block

Description
The priority block fitted on the right-hand cover plate is available in two versions: one with trailer braking
and one without trailer braking. The version with trailer braking is fitted with an extra-thick double priority
block, which is described in more detail in its own specific section.
The priority block fitted on the right-hand hydraulic cover plate has two functions:
• To ensure a priority flow to the steering and to the trailer braking (in the case of a double priority block)
• To ensure supply to the 21-bar low-pressure system
Tractors without trailer braking are fitted with a single priority block.
This block has two spools and receives the flow from the variable displacement pump. It ensures priority to
the steering system and the 21-bar low-pressure system. The oil is then directed to the auxiliary spool
valves and the linkage spool valve.
Tractors with trailer braking are fitted with a double priority block.
The inner block is similar to the single priority block. The outer block manages the flow priority between
the steering spool valve and the trailer braking.

1st priority: Steering


The spool (2) moves to the right under the action of the spring (3).

9-124 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

The flow coming from the variable displacement pump via channel B is by priority directed towards the
Orbitrol spool valve via channel A.
• Steering at neutral - The steering spool valve (Orbitrol) is in closed position. The pump pressure moves
the spool (2) to the left and the flow is directed into channel H.
• Steering activated - Pilot flow pressure from the Orbitrol arrives at port D and pushes the spool (2) to
the right, allowing the flow to enter port A and supply the Orbitrol.
NOTE: A flow rate of approximately 0.5 L/min is directed through port A towards port D via a drilled
hole and a restrictor in the spool (2). This flow creates a pressure of approximately 6 bar at port D. The
LS line directs this pressure to the variable displacement pump regulator, which is adjusted to 22 bar to
obtain a standby pressure of 28 bar.
2nd priority: 21-bar pressure control valve
The spool (4) moves to the right under the action of the spring (5), allowing the flow from channel H to be
directed to port I (21-bar low pressure). As soon as the pressure in this port reaches 21 bar, the spool
reaches equilibrium thus allowing the low pressure to be maintained and the flow to be directed towards
port F (linkage and auxiliary). When the linkage and auxiliary spool valves are used, an LS pilot flow
pressure is sent to the block via port G to join the LS line at port C.

Checking after service


If the single priority block had to be replaced:
• Lightly smear the thread of the fixing screws with Loctite 542 or equivalent. Tighten these screws to a
torque of 25–35 Nm.
• Carry out the hydraulic tests
Check the sealing of the unions and "O" rings fitted between the priority block and the right-hand hydraulic
cover plate.
Carry out a road test.

9.8.2 Principles of operation


Variable displacement pump system
The flow (G) from the charge pump (right-hand
cover plate) supplies the variable displacement
pump (1) then supplies the high-pressure system
(P) (towards the right-hand cover plate). The
regulator (2) regulates the pump flow rate (1)
according to the Load Sensing (LS) pressure from
the priority block (right-hand cover plate). The
pressure in the high-pressure system is limited by
the relief valve (3).

Fig. 156

Pressure relief valve


The high-pressure flow delivered by the variable
displacement pump passes through the channel
(P) in the hydraulic cover plate.
The pressure relief valve (3) set to 230 ± 5 bar,
screwed onto the hydraulic cover plate, ensures
the safety of the high-pressure system.
In case of any abnormal increase in pressure, valve
(C) rises and the oil is directed to the housing via
ports (R) in the relief valve.

IMPORTANT: Screws (C) and (D) are factory-set. Do not modify these settings.
• Standby position.
When the engine stops, the spring (8) automatically places the pump in its maximum flow rate position.
When the engine is started, all ports are closed, and in theory no flow is required. The pressure
increases in line (P). When it reaches 22 bar, it pushes the hydraulic regulator spool (a) and connects
with the port (R). The pressure acts on the piston (4) and the pushrod (9) of the pump, which moves the
plate (6) into the zero flow rate position. In practice, a low 3–5 bar flow rate remains in the steering
system, increasing the standby pressure to 28 bar.
• Working position.
When a function is activated (for example: an auxiliary spool valve), the circuit is opened and the 22 bar
standby pressure drops. The 22-bar spring restores the hydraulic regulator spool (a) to its initial position.
The piston (4) is linked to the return via (S) and (R). The spring (8) returns the pump plate (6) to full flow
rate.
The flow rate from the pump creates the LS pressure required to activate the function.
The LS function created then balances the piston (a) between the LS pressure plus the 22 bar pressure
of the spring and the pump output pressure (P).
As long as the spool (a) is not balanced and maintained by the pump supply, the piston (4) remains
connected to the return and pump plate (6) at full flow rate (pump P pressure = LS pressure + 22 bar).
NOTE: The closed center system varies the pressure and flow rate in the hydraulic system.
NOTE: Pump delivery pressure = LS operating pressure + standby pressure (22 bar).
NOTE: A sufficient flow rate, determined by the through-section of the spool valve, is supplied by the
pump to maintain the pressure difference at the spool valve terminals (22 bar).
• Maximum position - zero flow rate.
When the pressure at the port (P) reaches 200 bar, the spool (b) is pushed forwards, compressing its
spring. The ports (P) and (R) are placed in communication and the piston (4) is brought to the zero flow
rate position.
The hydraulic regulator (2), fitted on the hydraulic cover plate (8) regulates the variable displacement
pump pressure and flow rate according to information transmitted by the LS signal.

9.9 GPA50 Open Center/Spool valves


9.9.1 General
The Rexroth SM12 auxiliary spool valves are fitted on the high flow rate system. They are fed by oil coming
from the trailer brake valve or the cover plate (depending on version).
When the spool valves are not activated, the oil is available for the other functions. The auxiliary spool
valves are mounted on a support which is itself fitted to the rear of the linkage cover plate. Quick couplings
are fitted directly on the spool valve body.
To obtain sufficient distance between couplings, the spool valves are fitted with blocks serving as spacers.
These blocks are also used to let the oil flow to the next spool.
Specifications:
• Functions: Double-acting; Single and double-acting (convertible). These functions are also recognized by
the abbreviations SE and DE
• Positions: Three; Four with one in floating position
• Return to neutral: By spring or automatic system
• Zero leak: With or without
Each spool valve is actuated by a lever in the cab and has three phases of travel: - 35% reduced flow rate -
45% progressive increase of flow rate and pressure - 20% full flow rate. The gradual increase of flow rate
and pressure ensures uniform operation of the implements. This specification also allows two spool valves
to be activated simultaneously, the total flow rate being shared. The flow rate to each quick coupling is
proportional to the position of the control lever. The flow divider is fitted between spool valve no. 1 and
spool valve no. 2.

9.9.2 Principles of operation


The spool valves are supplied by:
• 57 L/min Open Center version: the 19-cm³ pump located on the right-hand cover plate
• 100 L/min Open Center version: the 14-cm³ pump located on the left-hand cover plate, or the 19-cm³
and 14-cm³ coupled pumps
The valves are mounted in series and supplied by the continuity line (N).

3-position spool valve, SE/DE with return to
neutral by spring

Fig. 168
Neutral position
Oil is not available from outlets (A) or (B). Oil is directed via the continuity channel (N) to the linkage valve
and passes directly to the suction manifold of the pump when the linkage is in neutral position. Channels
(N) and (P) are connected in the intermediate block to supply the subsequent spool valves.
Inlet-outlet position
When the spool (2) is moved upwards or downwards, the continuity channel is cut, the pressure increases
and raises the valve (1). The oil is then directed to the internal channels via grooves located on the spool.
Depending on the spool position, outlet (A) or (B) is supplied. Simultaneously, the oil returning from the
ram is directed depending on the position of the spool to outlet (A) or (B) to reach the return channel (R).
Single/double-acting change-over
To obtain the single-acting position, unscrew the valve (4). Outlet (A) then opens into the channel (R) and
outlet (B) supplies the hydraulic slave device. To obtain the double-acting position, screw in the valve (4).

Operation is identical to the 3-position SE/DE spool valve with return to neutral by spring, with automatic
return to neutral as an added feature. A system fitted in the unit (1) locks when the spool (2) is activated.
The spool returns automatically when the pressure reaches 150–170 bar. The pressure passes through
holes machined in the spool. It then releases a system comprising ball bearings and springs allowing the
automatic return of the spool to neutral. The unit (1) is joined to the channel (R).
NOTE: A residual pressure in the housing (greater than 2 bar) may cause inadvertent return of the spool to
neutral.

Operation of the non-return valve

9-154 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

When the spool (2) is moved upwards, the oil coming from channels (N) and (P) is directed to outlet (B) by
lifting the non-return valve (3) to supply the slave device. In the neutral position, the non-return valve
ensures system tightness. When the spool is moved downwards, the oil coming from the channels (N) and
(P) lifts the valve (1). It is then directed to an internal channel, via grooves machined on the spool, and
supplies the slave device via the outlet (A). The movement of the spool shifts the pushrod (4). This raises
the ball bearing, causing a drop in pressure on the slave device side, which allows the valve (3) to rise from
its seat and oil to flow through to the channel (R).
IMPORTANT: When removing the spool (2), it is essential to remove the non-return valve (3) and pushrod
(4) first.
4-position DE spool valve, with automatic return
to neutral and floating position

Fig. 171
Operation
When the spool (2) is moved upwards or downwards, the same positions are obtained as with the previous
spool valves. The 4-position DE spool valve with automatic return to neutral and floating position has an
added feature: a floating position (F) when the spool has moved beyond the limit of the automatic return to
neutral position. In this position (F), the channels of outlets (A) and (B) open into the return channel (R). The
oil can then circulate freely.

individually and leaving only the main support (1) fitted to the linkage cover plate.
Preliminary steps
1. Remove the component(s) close to the
auxiliary spool valves that might obstruct
access to them (e.g. hydraulic valve for auto-
hitch).
2. Disconnect:
• the tank return pipe from the cover plate
(7)
• the supply pipe from the flow divider (3)
(if fitted)
3. Separate the control cables of the supports
and spool valves.

9.10 GPA50 Open Center/Rear linkage


9.10.1 General
The BOSCH (EHR5) linkage spool valve is fitted to tractors equipped with an Open Center hydraulic
system. It is fitted to the auxiliary spool valve support. It regulates the flow rate of oil to and from the lift
rams, according to the signals that it receives from the electronic system's controller. It comprises a series
of spools and valves, most of which cannot be repaired as separate parts.

9.10.2 Principles of operation

Neutral position
• Engine stopped
When the engine is stopped:
• The linkage spool valve (5) is in neutral
position
• The lifting and lowering solenoid valve
spools (2) and (3) are held in position by their
respective springs
• The flow rate adjustment spool (4) is held
down by its own spring

Fig. 185

9-166 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

• Engine running
When the engine is running, the 19-cm³
hydraulic pump supplies the linkage spool valve
(5) via the priority hydraulic equipment fitted:
• Trailer brake spool valve (if fitted);
• Auxiliary hydraulic spool valves (57 L/min
version only).

Fig. 186

Lifting position
The solenoid valve (8) is activated to lift the
drawbars. The lifting spool (2) is moved
downwards, thus directing the main flow to the
non-return valve (1). As soon as the pressure
acting on the valve exceeds the pressure in the
rams, the valve opens and the flow enters port V
to raise the hitch. When the hitch is in the required
position, the tractor's electronic system cuts the
supply to the solenoid valve (8).
As a result:
• The non-return valve closes
• The lifting spool is positioned on return channel
R
• The flow rate adjustment spool (4) is fixed in
the raised position, once more allowing the oil
to flow through continuity channel N

Fig. 187

MF 5700 SL series tractors 9-167


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

Lowering position
The solenoid valve (7) is activated to lower the
drawbars. The lowering spool (3) is moved
downwards. Its position allows oil to return from
the rams via port V to return R.
NOTE: The lowering phase has no effect on the
flow rate adjustment spool (4).

The Mid-Mounted unit has 2 separate circuits.


• The low-pressure circuit activates the spools.
The 21 bar low-pressure circuit supplies the solenoid valve block via the pipe (X1). The tank return
transits via the pipe (L) then flows directly into the rear axle housing. The pressure accumulator (X2) on
the low-pressure supply line avoids a pressure drop in the pilot circuit.
• The high-pressure circuit supplies the spool valves.
The pump flow arrives via the pipe (P). The flow that is not used by the spool valves leaves via the
continuity line (C) to the lubrication circuit. The tank return transits via the pipe (T) then flows directly
into the gearbox housing.

9.13 GPA50 Closed Center/Spool valves


9.13.1 General
The proportional auxiliary spool valves, of the Bosch/Rexroth SB23 LS type, are fitted to the high flow rate
high pressure system. They are fed by the oil coming from the priority block(s).
When no functions are activated, the entire flow rate is directed towards the spool valves. If certain priority
functions are being supplied, the remaining flow is then available for the auxiliary spool valves.
The main spool of the valve is controlled by a cable linked to a lever in the cab. The spool directs oil
towards either outlet port. Each outlet port is linked to the LS pilot line of the variable displacement pump
regulating valve via the priority block(s).
The auxiliary spool valves are made up of elements themselves comprising spools and valves.
Some elements cannot be identified as spare parts.

Couplers
The dirty oil coming from the separation of hydraulic couplers flows into a transparent flexible tank that is
fixed at the back of the left trumpet housing.

9.14 GPA50 Closed Center/Rear linkage


9.14.1 General
The BOSCH (EHR5) linkage spool valve is fitted to tractors equipped with a Closed Center hydraulic
system. It is fitted underneath the auxiliary spool valve support. It regulates the flow rate of oil to and from
the lift rams, according to the signals that it receives from the electronic system's controller. It comprises a
series of spools and valves, most of which cannot be repaired as separate parts.

9.14.2 Principles of operation


When the engine is stopped:
• the lifting and lowering solenoid valve spools
(3) and (4) are held in position by their
respective springs
• the flow rate adjustment spool (2) is held in the
fully open position by its spring.
When the engine is running:
• the lifting and lowering solenoid valve spools
(3) and (4) are held in position by their
respective springs
• The standby pressure of the Load Sensing line
forces the spring of the flow rate adjustment
spool (2) into the closed position.
Lifting position
The lifting solenoid valve is activated to lift the
drawbars. The spool (3) moves and opens the
system. The pressure drop in the Load Sensing
line opens the flow rate adjustment spool (2) and
increases the pump flow rate.
The flow is directed via a non-return valve towards
the lift rams (6). When the lifting solenoid valve is
no longer activated, the system returns to neutral
position.
Fig. 221
Lowering position
The lowering solenoid valve is activated to lower
the drawbars. The spool (4) moves and opens the
system towards the oil sump return, enabling the
lowering of the linkage arms.
NOTE: The lowering phase has no effect on the
flow rate adjustment spool (2).

supplied by the tractor's 21 bar system.
The solenoid valves activate:
• (X): Mid-Mounted unit pilot circuit cut-off.
• (A1) and (B1): Spool valve 1.
• (A2) and (B2): Spool valve 2.

The Mid-Mounted unit has 2 separate circuits.


• The low-pressure circuit activates the spools.
The 21 bar low-pressure circuit supplies the solenoid valve block via the pipe (X1). The tank return
transits via the pipe (L) then flows directly into the rear axle housing. The pressure accumulator (X2) on
the low-pressure supply line avoids a pressure drop in the pilot circuit.
• The high-pressure circuit supplies the spool valves.
The pump flow arrives via the pipe (P). The (LS) line is used to regulate the pump flow according to the
needs of the spool valves. The tank return transits via the pipe (T) then flows directly into the gearbox
housing.

9.17 GPA50/Brake master cylinders


9.17.1 General
The brake master cylinders are attached to the
pedal console and are housed to the right of the
cab front bulkhead. They act on the tractor main
brake located in the center housing.
The master cylinders have different specifications
depending on the option fitted on the tractor:
• Brake master cylinders without a trailer brake
• Brake master cylinders with a trailer brake
supply

Fig. 239
The master cylinders are maintained at constant
level by a residual oil flow from the hose (1) (Open
Center version) or (2) (Closed Center version). This
hose is connected to the lubrication circuit on the
right-hand cover plate.

Fig. 240

9-206 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

Depending on user requirements, the master


cylinders can be activated separately or together in
locked mode via a pedal latch (2).
IMPORTANT: For use on the road, the brake
pedals must always be locked together.

Fig. 241

9.17.2 Principles of operation

Master cylinders

Fig. 242
Construction
The double circuit master cylinder is composed of two master cylinders comprising a shared housing. Each
brake pedal activates a piston acting on the right-hand or left-hand wheel brake. The double circuit master
cylinder is available with or without a trailer brake.
The housing (1) mainly contains a piston (4), activated by a rod (3) and the pedals and a spring (7). This
assembly is maintained in place by the plug (6).
At rest
The residual oil flow from the transmission lubrication system maintains a permanent oil level in the
reservoir (2). When the pedals are not pressed, the chamber of each master cylinder is not under pressure,
therefore no action is exerted on the brake system.
MF 5700 SL series tractors 9-207
ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

Fig. 243
Pedals uncoupled
The force applied to a pedal is transmitted by the rod (3) to the piston (4) which moves in the bore of the
active master cylinder. The valve (5) closes the supply port. Oil is directed under pressure towards the
main brake ports.

Fig. 244
Trailer brake supply
When the tractor is fitted with a trailer brake, a valve (8) integrated into the master cylinder is used to
control the trailer brake valve.
The valve is composed of a shuttle (9) and is maintained by the plug (10) on the master cylinder.
• Pressing the two coupled brake pedals:
The two pistons pressurize the brake systems (11) and (12). As the brake pressures are balanced, the
shuttle (9) enables the brake pressure to control the trailer brake valve (13).
• Pressing one brake pedal only:
The pressure exerted by the brake piston moves the shuttle (9) and closes the pipe towards the trailer
brake (13).

The tractors are equipped with an open center hydraulic system; they are fitted with a trailer braking
mechanism comprising:
• a valve assembly (6) (spool valve) fitted on the right-hand hydraulic cover plate,
• a pipe linking the spool valve to a connector (1) located at the rear of the tractor,
• a control line connected to the master cylinders.
The valve receives a priority supply from the high pressure system. The oil not used for braking the trailer
is directed to the spool valves (auxiliary and linkage). The valve regulates the flow rate and pressure to the
trailer brakes. It is controlled by the tractor braking system pressure, generated by the master cylinders, so
as to obtain progressive tractor/trailer braking that is proportional to the force applied to the pedal. The
trailer brake only operates if the two brake pedals are locked together.

When the return spring (19) is at rest, it pushes the spool (17) to neutral.
All the flow coming from the pump (P) is directed towards the continuity channel (N), allowing the auxiliary
spool valves and linkage to be used.
The control pressure (Y) is zero. The trailer brake supply (B) connects with the housing return (R), so the
trailer brake is fully released.

(P) Pressure (Y) Pilot flow from tractor brake mechanism


(R) Return to housing (master cylinders)
When the brakes are applied gradually, the control pressure (Y) increases and moves the spool (17).
The flow from the pump (P) is directed partially towards the trailer brake (B) and the continuity channel (N).
The connection between the trailer brake pressure (B) and the housing return (R) is cut.
The trailer brake pressure (B) varies in proportion to the control pressure (Y), i.e. according to the force
applied to the brake pedal of the tractor.

When the brakes are fully applied, the control pressure (Y) increases and moves the spool (17) completely.
The flow from the pump (P) is directed fully towards the trailer brake (B).
The connection between the trailer brake pressure (B) and the housing return (R) is cut.
The trailer brake pressure (B) increases quickly and is then adjusted to 150 bar.

(B) Supply to the trailer brake connector (master cylinders)
When the trailer brake pressure (B) reaches 150 bar, the pressure is limited by the return spring (19) and by
the trailer brake pressure (B) pushing back the spool of the reaction needle (18).
The pressures are balanced by the springs (16) and (19), and the trailer brake pressure (B) is maintained at
150 bar.
Once the pressure (B) is regulated, the continuity channel (N) sends the flow from the pump (P) to the
hydraulic system components.

9.18.4.1 Bleeding the main brake system

Installation
NOTE: A male quick connector is fitted as standard on the right-hand hydraulic cover plate for pressure
tests. The pressure on this line makes it easier to bleed the brake system.
Open Center version
1. Join the connector (P9) to the connector (1)
with a makeshift hose (2) fitted at each end
with a female connector ref. 3582045M1
see Fig. 262 .
2. Using a clamp fitted with protective jaws,
pinch the return hose (4) without flattening it
excessively.
NOTE: Some hoses may be difficult to pinch
due to their rigid sheath. Consequently, it will
be necessary to disconnect the union (4) and
to replace it temporarily with a plug.

Check
8. Press very hard (approximately 60 kg to 80 kg) on each pedal to position the brake pistons.
9. Check the hardness under force of each pedal. Coupled pedals should not travel more than 120 mm
for the force stated above.
10. Turn off engine.
In the event of incorrect operation
11. If an operating problem emerges, carry out the bleed sequence a second time.
If the problem remains, check tightness of:
• The system
• The master cylinders
• The brake mechanism seals

9.18.4.2 Bleeding the trailer brake system


If the tractor is fitted with a trailer brake, it is strongly recommended to bleed the main brake and trailer
brake systems simultaneously. To carry out this bleeding procedure, use the same equipment and method
as described for the bleeding of the main brake system see chapter Bleeding the main brake system, page
1-31 , but follow these additional points:

Procedure
1. Open the two bleed screws (3) on the main
brake and the bleed screw on the trailer
brake (5) Open Center version or (6) Load
Sensing version.
2. When the bleeding is complete, tighten in
the following order:
• The left-hand brake bleed screw (3)
• The right-hand brake bleed screw (3)
• bleed screw (5) or (6) on the trailer brake.
3. Check the trailer brake pressure on the quick
coupling located at the rear of the tractor. If
this pressure is not correct, eliminate any air
entering in the system and repeat the
bleeding procedure.
4. Carry out a road test.

9.19 Closed Center/Hydraulic trailer braking


9.19.1 General
The trailer brake mechanism comprises a hydraulic
unit with two priority blocks. It is located on the
right-hand hydraulic cover plate of the rear axle
housing. The priority blocks are screwed together.
The inner unit (1) ensures that the steering and
braking system has priority and supplies the 21-bar
system and hydraulic spool valves.
The outer unit (2) shares priority between the
steering and trailer braking supply.

9.19.2 Principles of operation

Fig. 268

The trailer brake unit is made up of two spools

9-228 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
9. Hydraulics

• Steering priority spool (2)


The spool moves to the left under the action of spring (5). The flow from the channel (B) is directed as a
priority to the steering spool valve (Orbitrol) via the channel (A). With the steering in a neutral position,
there is no flow in this channel.
The increasing pressure forces the spool to move to the right and compress spring (5) thus allowing the
flow to pass into channel (J).
During operation, a pilot flow pressure from the steering spool valve (Orbitrol) arrives through channel
(D) and pushes the spool back to the left, thus allowing the flow rate required by the steering to enter
channel (A).
The remaining flow is directed into channel (J).
• Trailer brake spool (6)
When the trailer brake is not activated, the pressure in channel (K) is zero and the spool allows
communication between channels (L) and (R).
As soon as the tractor brake is activated, the pressure existing in channel (K) moves piston (7), which
pushes the spool to the left, allowing the flow to pass between channels (J) and (L).
The increasing pressure in channel (L) acts on the end of the spool (6) and compresses the spring (8) to
create a balance allowing the pressure in channel (L) to be maintained according to the pressure in
channel (K).
This pressure is maintained by linking channel L either to channel J or port R.
NOTE: As with the "no trailer braking" priority block, a flow rate of 0.5 L flows through channel (A) towards
channel (D) (dynamic steering) via a hole and a restrictor in the spool (2).

MF 5700 SL series tractors 10-7


ACT0021460
10. Electricity

Procedure
1. Select a suitable value to obtain optimum
accuracy. The correct value is the smallest
value immediately higher than the
measurement. Important: To avoid obtaining
incorrect results, take care not to confuse
position "DC" for direct current and position
"AC" for alternating current.
2. Connect the terminal marked "V" or "+" to the
highest potential (positive side) and the
terminal marked "COM" or "-" to the lowest
potential (for example: tractor chassis).
3. Compare the measured value to the value
given in the component file.

10.1.8 Measuring current


Measuring current

Measuring instrument
There are two different instruments to measure an electrical current:
• an ammeter,
• a hook-on ammeter.

10.1.9 Hook-on ammeter procedure


Hook-on ammeter procedure

10-8 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
10. Electricity

The hook-on ammeter is used to measure the intensity of a current flowing within a circuit without having
to disconnect the circuit to fit an ammeter in series.

Procedure
1. Use the selector to select the "Ampere"
position using the value closest to the
measurement to be taken. Select position
"DC" for direct current and calibrate the
ammeter display to obtain maximum
accuracy.
(A) Component
2. Fit the conductor in the ammeter, taking care
to follow the electrical current direction of
circulation (from + to -): an arrow on the
ammeter indicates the fitting direction.
3. Supply the circuit with power and read off
the measurement on the ammeter display. Fig. 6
4. Compare the measured value to the value
given in the component file.

10.1.10 Ammeter procedure


Ammeter procedure
CAUTION:
The ammeter is always connected to the circuit in series. This means that the circuit must
be cut so that it can be fitted in place.
1. It is wise to set the ammeter to its highest
value when connecting. This value must then
be decreased if necessary to obtain optimum
accuracy. The correct value is the smallest
value immediately higher than the
measurement. Important: To avoid obtaining
incorrect results, take care not to confuse
position "DC" for direct current and position
"AC" for alternating current. The current
should enter via the terminal marked "10A" or
"mA" (depending on the scale) and leave via
the terminal marked "COM".
2. Supply the circuit with power and compare
the measured value to the value given in the Fig. 7
component file.

10.3 Cab fuse box


10.3.1 General

10.3.1.1 General
The fuse box is a printed circuit board that groups together the main fuses and relays protecting the
electrical circuit on the tractor. The fuse box is linked to the positive and negative terminals of the battery.
Each circuit is then supplied with power from the fuse box.

10.3.1.2 Principles of operation


The fuse box protects the entire electrical circuit on the tractor against:
• short circuits
• overcurrents
In the event of a short circuit or overcurrent, the fuses open the circuit. Depending on the function to be
supplied with power, the fuse can resist different currents.
The relays fitted into the fuse box provide control of functions that require strong currents, while limiting
the current passing through the control system.

10.5.2.1 Alternator - test procedure

Alternator connections

Preliminary checks

Procedure

1. Check the alternator earth. Check that there is no paint between the alternator body and the chassis.
Also check that the alternator is properly tightened on its support.

10-22 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
10. Electricity

2. Carefully check the charging circuit and the electrical circuit. Check the condition of the cables, and
that the electrical connections and the alternator body acting as earth are correctly tightened.
3. Check the battery. The minimum open-circuit voltage of a battery must be approx. 12.5 V if it has not
been subjected to charging or discharging within the last 24 hours. If the voltage is weak at the
battery terminals, recharge the battery. If it is not possible to wait until the battery has recharged, use
another charged battery to perform the diagnostics procedure.
4. Check the drive. The alternator belt and the pulley must be in good condition, free from oil, grease
and paint. Check the tension of the drive belt for the alternator is correct. For engines with two belts
fitted with tensioners, the deflection must be less than 5 mm.
5. Switch on the ignition and check that the voltage between alternator terminal (D+) and the alternator
earth is between 12 and 12.5 V.

Check the alternator wiring

Procedure

1. Disconnect the battery.


2. Disconnect alternator terminals (B+) and (D+).
Electrically isolate the terminal (B+) from the chassis (earth).
3. Reconnect the battery. Switch on the ignition. Do not start the engine.
4. Check the voltage between terminal (B+) of the harness and the earth.
Check the voltage between terminal (D+) of the harness and the earth.
In both cases, the voltage must be equal to that of the battery. If this is not the case, check the
electrical harness.
5. Disconnect the battery to reconnect the alternator cables then reconnect the battery.

Check the load current and regulated voltage

Procedure

1. Ensure that all of the tractor electrical components are off and that the ignition is switched off.
2. Connect a voltmeter between terminal (B+) and the alternator body (earth).
3. Connect an ammeter clamp onto the cable connected to terminal (B+).
4. Start the engine and adjust the speed to between 1200 and 1500 rpm.
Check the results on the ammeter and the voltmeter:
• If the voltage exceeds 14.7 V: The alternator is faulty and the alternator regulator must be
replaced
• If the voltage is below 13.6 V: One of the alternator components is faulty
• If the amperage is close to 0 A: One of the alternator components is faulty
• If the voltage is between 13.6 V and 14.7 V: The alternator is functioning normally.

Check the maximum output of the alternator

Procedure

1. Establish a connection identical to that in procedure see chapter Check the load current and regulated
voltage, page 10-23 .
2. Gradually activate all the components that draw electricity (lights, fan etc.) and observe the load
current. The current at the alternator output on terminal (B+) should increase.
3. If the maximum alternator output is obtained before all the tractor electrical components are
activated, the alternator is not powerful enough.
Check that the connections at terminal (B+) of the alternator and at the battery terminals are not
overheating. In the event of overheating, check that the bolt connections are fixed in place and that
the harness crimping is correct. Adjust these if necessary.

Looking for a voltage drop in the insulated circuit

Procedure

1. Ensure that the ignition is switched off.


2. Connect a voltmeter between the positive battery terminal and terminal (B+).
3. Start the engine and adjust the speed to between 1200 and 1500 rpm.
4. Gradually activate all the components that draw electricity (lights, fan etc.).
5. Ensure that the voltage does not exceed 400 mV.
If the reading exceeds 400 mV, there is high resistance and therefore too great a drop in the
alternator external circuit.

Looking for a voltage drop in the earth circuit

Procedure

1. Ensure that the ignition is switched off.


2. Connect a voltmeter between the negative battery terminal and the alternator earth.
3. Start the engine and adjust the speed to between 1200 and 1500 rpm.
4. Ensure that the voltage does not exceed 200 mV.
If the result exceeds 200 mV, there is excessive resistance and therefore too great a drop in the
earth circuit.
If the nominal alternator output cannot be obtained and the result on the voltmeter is below 200 mV,
one of the alternator components is faulty. If the total voltage drop value is exceeded (600 mV),
check that the connections between the alternator and its support and the connections between the
support and engine are clean and sufficiently tightened. Check that there is no break in continuity
(including fuses) or break in the harness between the terminal (B+) of the alternator and the positive
battery terminal. Voltage drops may cause the indicator light on the instrument panel to light up
without the alternator presenting a fault.

10.6 Starter
10.6.1 General

10.6.1.1 General
The starter is a 12 V electric motor that starts the engine. It is connected to the positive terminal of the
battery by large diameter cables that can withstand a high current. The earth passes through the chassis
and the starter body.
The starter is fitted on the right-hand side of the engine (or on the left-hand side, depending on the model),
at the same level as the engine flywheel. At start-up, it drives the ring gear on the engine flywheel.

10.6.1.2 Principles of operation


The starter is connected to two electrical circuits:
• the power circuit, connected directly to the battery
• the control circuit, connected to the start switch
The start switch (4) in the cab operates a relay and then the solenoid (2) via the starter terminal (5).
When the solenoid moves, the starter pinion engages with the engine flywheel ring gear (3) and the starter
terminals (6) and (7) are brought into contact in order to supply the starter power circuit see Fig. 23 .

10.7 Circuit breaker


10.7.1 General

10.7.1.1 Battery isolator


A device isolates the battery/batteries (depending on assembly) from all the other electrical equipment on
the tractor.
This isolator is programmed for automatic cut-off after a delay of 60 minutes after switching off the
ignition. Therefore, the operator does not have to activate the device; this system is self-managed in terms
of activation and cut-off, depending on the position of the ignition key.
The isolator timer control can vary according to the tractor configuration.
The temporary control conditions for the closed isolator are as follows:
1. the time required to drain the DEF or AdBlue™™ system
2. the Datatronic CCD standby time
3. power supply maintained on an ISOBUS or Auto-GuideAuto-Guide™ implement
Whatever the status of the above conditions, the isolator will always open after a maximum period of 60
minutes after the ignition key has been set to the OFF position.
The permanent control condition for the closed isolator is as follows:
1. Activation of the hazard warning lights
NOTE:
The battery isolator will open once the hazard warning lights have been deactivated.
IMPORTANT:
In the event of electrical faults on the tractor or the implement, emergency cut-off of the isolator is
possible via a switch located under the controllers housing cover plate in the cab, but only if the ignition
key is in the OFF position. The DEF or AdBlue™™ system is drained even after pressing the switch for the
emergency cut-off of the battery isolator.
1. Open the cover (A) on the cab floor (right-hand
side).

11.2 Telemetry
11.2.1 General

11.2.1.1 General

Definition
The telemetry system designed and developed by Massey Ferguson is called AgCommand™.
The principle of the AgCommand™ system allows:
• automatic measurement of machine data,
• automatic and remote transmission of machine data,
• storage of machine data on a Massey Ferguson server,
• customer access to data related to the customer's machine(s),
• users to increase machine operating efficiency,
• users to increase their margin by managing vehicle performance.

Advantages
This system enables end users to:
• check the vehicle fleet (current machine locations, machine statuses, current and past activity, alarms
and service intervals),
• access machine data almost in real time,
• configure alarms to send them to a mobile phone or an email account,
• automatically record machine data without any intervention by the driver,
• automatically transfer machine data without any intervention by the driver,
• generate activity reports at any time.

Equipment and options


AgCommand™ Complete
The AgCommand™ Complete option includes the
AgCommand™ wiring harness, the AgCommand™
AM50 unit and the AgCommand™ GPS/GSM/
GPRS aerial.

Fig. 2

11.2.1.2 Principles of operation


The tractor's GPS position and various sensor values are read on the tractor's CAN network. All of this data
is stored by the AM50 unit and sent via the GSM network.
During normal operation, the system stores a set of values every 60 seconds. This data is then sent to the
Massey Ferguson server every 15 minutes.
If the tractor is being used in an area with a weak GSM signal, the AM50 unit has an internal memory that
can store up to 50 hours of data.
11-4 MF 5700 SL series tractors
ACT0021460
11. Electronics

The various sensor values are read and stored directly from the tractor's CAN networks.
The stored CAN messages are:
• engine status (ON or OFF);
• tractor status (in working position or not);
• forward speed;
• number of hours;
• distance covered (necessary for changing status).
The tractor's GPS position is also affected by these various values.
All of this information is used to define the tractor's status and is sent to the Massey Ferguson server.
NOTE:
This operating mode is valid for the "Standard plus" version.

• Forward speed detected (greater than 1 kph) and either the power take-off is "ON" or the linkage is
switched to the lowering position.
• Relative to the trigger set in the Datatronic CCD memory
Working status can be switched from "ON" to "OFF" in the following conditions:
• No forward speed (less than 1 kph) and the power take-off is switched off for 10 seconds
• Forward speed detected (greater than 1 kph) and the power take-off is switched off or linkage lifting is
activated.

11.2.2 Telemetry error codes


The telemetry function can be diagnosed in two different ways:
• On the AM50 unit, by reading the status of the diodes
• with the Electronic Diagnostic Tool (EDT).

The diagnostics screen (1) provides the following
information:
• aerial detection;
• number of satellites visible;
• signal strength;
• GPRS status;
• GSM status;
• network provider used;
• machine status;
• time between two changes in tractor status;
• distance covered in the current tractor status;
• status of the diodes on the AM50 unit. Fig. 6

11.2.4 Programming and setting parameters

General
It is not possible to program the AM50 unit directly using a diagnostic tool. If necessary, the program can
be updated automatically via the GSM network.

Update options
There are two ways to implement updates:
• updating the unit configuration (the customer has bought a new option, for example) (software loading
time: 30 secs;
• a new software version becomes available (software loading time: 3 mins).
NOTE:
The time values given for loading software can vary depending on the software.

Automatic updates
Every time the tractor is started up, the AM50 unit compares the software version available on the
AgCommand™ server with the version installed on the machine. If the two versions are different, the new
version is automatically downloaded. If the signal is lost or there is an error during the update attempt, the
system will continue to operate with the old software version until the next time the tractor is started up.
IMPORTANT:
The AM50 unit does not record any tractor data while the software download or update is taking place.

12.1 Standard air conditioning


12.1.1 General

12.1.1.1 General
Standard air conditioning provides a source of air with an adjustable temperature in the cab. The user can
adjust the temperature and flow of air pumped into the cab. Depending on weather conditions, the
operator can choose to cool or heat the cab manually. An electronic thermostat controls the compressor
electromagnetic clutch, with a temperature sensor on the evaporator. The heating is adjusted by a valve
which controls the flow of water from the engine to the radiator. The heating and the temperature at the
evaporator can be adjusted separately. The compressor can be activated in cold weather to defrost and
dehumidify the cab.
The temperature in the cab can be controlled but variations in outside conditions (sun/shadow etc.) can
change the cab temperature, in which case it is necessary to adjust the controls.
Ventilation is also a significant factor. The cab temperature depends on the flow of air blown by the fan.
The greater the flow rate, the faster the change in temperature.
Air recycling also plays a part in the temperature control and defrosting. It allows conditioned air to be
used; this is drier and closer in temperature to the required air temperature.

12.1.1.2 Principles of operation

Temperature controls
Electronic thermostat:
It controls the compressor electromagnetic clutch according to the cooling required at the evaporator. A
temperature sensor informs the electronic thermostat of the temperature at the evaporator. The
thermostat is adjusted by a potentiometer (2) on the air conditioning control panel. The compressor is
activated depending on the sensor reading and thermostat adjustment.
Electromagnetic clutch:
It transmits the engagement of the air conditioning compressor. The electronic thermostat controls its level
of engagement by a relay.
A 50 Amp fuse protects the air conditioning system. A high/low pressure switch disengages the
compressor clutch if the pressure drops or rises unexpectedly in the high-pressure part of the refrigeration
system.
The compressor cannot be engaged if no fan speed has been selected to ensure heat exchange at the
evaporator.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-3


ACT0021460
12. Cab

Heating valve:
It adjusts the flow rate of hot water in the radiator. It is controlled by the user from the control panel in the
cab via a rotary knob (3). The valve and compressor are controlled separately. For this reason, with the
heating switched on, it is possible to activate the compressor to dehumidify the air.
This knob is used to select either heating or the entry of air at outside temperature.

Ventilation control
Fan:
The fan is controlled by turning the fan control knob (1). There are four different fan speeds. The cab is
fitted with five adjustable air vents and four air outlets to defrost the windows.
Air recycling:
Air recycling is controlled manually from the cab. A grille with a handle fitted to the top left-hand side in the
cab is used to select outside or inside (recycled) air.
The air recycling system should not be used for long periods. After 25 minutes, it is advised to stop it and
renew the cab air to ensure the air in the cab is clean.
Air recycling has several advantages:
• it prevents air from entering from outside, for example to prevent unpleasant smells from entering
• it saves energy cooling the cab. The air conditioning system is more efficient if the air source is cold.
When the outside air temperature is very high, it is recommended to use the recycling system as it
uses the cooler air in the cab, which avoids cooling the hot air outside the cab. In this way the
compressor workload is reduced.

Compressor
The compressor, its clutch and pulley form a removable assembly.
The compressor compresses the low-pressure R134a refrigerant gas to high pressure and allows the
refrigerant to flow in the system.

Electromagnetic clutch
Allows engagement and disengagement of the compressor depending on system requirements.
The coupling comprises two main parts: the stationary induction coil (continuous induction field) and the
rotor.
The induction coil is fitted directly onto the compressor. The grooved pulley is fitted to the tapered end of
the crankshaft.
The current transmitted to the coil creates a magnetic field, and the disk is magnetically pulled against the
pulley. The compressor starts running. When the current is stopped, the rotor is demagnetised and the
mechanical coupling is broken.
When changing one of the following parts: evaporator, condenser, dryer, compressor or regulator, drain the
system, taking the precautions stated in the filling and maintenance section.

Condenser
The condenser receives high pressure, high temperature refrigerant gas from the compressor and changes
it into high pressure pre-cooled liquid. It is designed to withstand variations in temperature between the
hot refrigerant in gas form and the cold air outside. As the refrigerant cools, the gas turns to liquid. This
cooling is achieved by exposing it to a cold air flow (vehicle speed, motor fan). The refrigerant temperature
in the condenser varies from 49 to 77°C for pressures of 10.5 to 21 bar.
If it is necessary to replace the condenser, avoid damaging the cooling fins in order to ensure maximum
operating efficiency.

Dryer
The dryer is an important element of the air conditioning system. It receives liquid refrigerant from the
condenser and extracts humidity and "particles" that could otherwise enter the system.

12. Cab

The container is a temporary refrigerant storage tank, depending on demand from the regulator.

Regulator
The regulator is located at the evaporator inlet. It controls the amount of refrigerant that can enter the
evaporator and expands it. It automatically regulates refrigerant flow depending on the amount of heat in
the evaporator.
It reacts depending on the temperature of its sensitive element and the liquid pressure.
To avoid the effects of an excessive pressure drop in the evaporator, the regulator is fitted with a pressure
compensation system with a bulb, which operates according to the gas temperature at the evaporator
outlet. This bulb is also connected to the valve diaphragm.
If the regulator is to be replaced:
• always lightly oil the unions using oil for refrigerant
• ensure correct operation of the needle valve prior to assembly by spraying liquid refrigerant on the bulb
and checking the needle valve movement
• ensure the regulator is properly connected
• handle the capillary tubes with care.

Evaporator
Located in front of the fan, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the ambient air.
In the evaporator, the liquid is brought to a low pressure and a low temperature after passing through the
regulator. The liquid boils and starts to evaporate immediately. This process allows the absorption of heat
from the air sucked from the cab. Condensation starts to form on the evaporator from the humidity in the
air. This water is recovered in the bottom of the air conditioning unit and is discharged via two pipes
extending along the length of the cab.

Fan unit
An electric motor drives two turbines. The motor and these two turbines are fitted on a separate support
and are on the same axis. Air passes through the air filter, evaporator and radiator before being forced by
the turbines into the air ducts. The air is distributed around the cab via air ducts opening through adjustable
air circulation vents and demisters. The air also cools a chilled compartment if the tractor is fitted with one.

High / low pressure safety pressure switch


The safety pressure switch, located on the high pressure system, is fitted to the dryer and is connected to
the compressor's electromagnetic clutch control system. It protects the system by cutting the clutch
supply in case of an excessive pressure drop or increase in the high pressure system.

Service unions
Service unions with quick-connect male couplers are located on the high and low pressure pipes at the rear
of the compressor.

High and low pressure pipes


The high and low pressure hoses are made from nitrile with nylon core. To prevent damage to the air
conditioning hoses, a minimum bend radius must be respected when routing them.

passing through the condenser absorbs the heat from the refrigerant. The dryer (5) filters impurities and
humidity from the refrigerant. The regulator (8) allows the pressure to drop. The refrigerant in the
evaporator (6) absorbs the heat from the air passing over the coils, and vaporizes. The air is cooled by this
process. The refrigerant is sucked in gas form by the compressor to restart the cycle.
In the system, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the air via the exchangers. The fluid releases its heat in
the condenser and absorbs heat from the cab air in the evaporator.
Changes in the state and pressure of the fluid allow heat exchanges to take place at the exchangers
(condenser and evaporator).

12.1.3 Tests and diagnostics

12.1.3.1 Air conditioning tests - General


As a general rule, pressure values are linked to atmospheric conditions (pressure and temperature). For
ambient temperatures between 30 and 40°C at sea level, the pressures vary from 0.3 to 0.65 bar for low
pressure and from 12 to 18.5 bar for high pressure.
To locate failures, connect the manifold pressure gages to the service unions at the rear of the
compressor.
Leaks in the system cause: insufficient cooling, and high and low pressures that are too low. If it is not full
enough, bubbles appear continuously at the dryer tank sight glass, as well as the same symptoms as
stated above.
If the evaporator is blocked or the regulator is blocked or iced up, a vacuum forms in the low pressure area
and the high pressure is too low. If the system is overfilled, a regulator is stuck open or a condenser is
blocked, the low pressure is too high.
If a condenser is blocked or the system is overfilled, the high pressure becomes excessively high.

System overfill
In a correctly filled unit, the R134a vapors delivered through the compressor loses the superheat absorbed
in the compressor at the first condenser coil, then condenses into liquid form in the subsequent coils.
Before being directed into the dryer, this liquid is stored in the last condenser coil. If the system is
overfilled, the liquid level rises in the condenser. There are therefore fewer coils active in the condensation
process. The temperature and pressure increase, and may cause the pipes to burst in certain cases:
1. During operation:
• overfilling
• worn pipes
• pipes worn by friction
• pipes cut by plate edges
• bend radii too small
• exposure to the battery (acid)

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-13


ACT0021460
12. Cab

2. When stopped:
Same reasons as during operation, in addition to the following:
• engine compartment ventilation shut-off
• residual engine heat after switch-off
If a pipe is strained to its limit, the temperature increase at switch-off raises the pipe temperature and its
internal pressure.
The heat also decreases the strength of the pipe and all factors combine to burst the pipe.
This is more likely to occur in units overfilled with R134a and when pipes are worn or wrongly positioned
(close to a hot area).

12.1.3.2 Air conditioning tests - Air conditioning unit breakdown

Preliminary checks
The most commonly occurring air conditioning system failure is the lack of cold air. It is therefore
necessary to carry out a number of checks to identify the failure.
• Check that the scheduled maintenance has been carried out: belt tension, cleanliness of various parts
(cab air filter, condenser, evaporator, etc.), damage to parts.
• Check electrical supplies, fuses, condition of connections and supply wires.
• Examine all channels and unions and look for possible build-up of dirt, oil or traces of dampness, which
could indicate a leak.
• Supply the compressor clutch directly from the battery and record the pressure values on the pressure
gages, and check the evaporator is cold. If the system pressures are normal and there is cold in the
evaporator, the failure is electrical. On the other hand, incorrect pressure and lack of cold suggest the
failure is gas-related or gas-related and electrical.

High pressure too high


• Coolant overfill: System must be bled. Avoid excessive bleeding of the system.
• Air in the system, despite correct low pressure level: Bleed system then refill.
• Spaces between condenser fins blocked by insects: Clean condenser.
• Refrigerant remains in liquid form in the suction pipe at the evaporator outlet. This is indicated by damp
or ice on the pipe or on the suction valve of the compressor. Check that the regulator bulb is correctly
fitted on the suction pipe.
• Plug left inside pipe during assembly, indicated by temperature difference upstream and downstream of
plug.
• High pressure very high, low pressure normal, air bubbles at dryer and icing in dryer tank, flow
restricted at dryer inlet which acts as regulator.

High pressure too low


• Incorrect filling: Insufficient refrigerant indicated by presence of air bubbles in dryer.
• Compressor cylinder head gasket split or leaks at valves.

Low pressure too low and insufficient cooling


• Pipe or dryer restricted. This symptom is indicated by a temperature difference upstream and
downstream of the restriction or by cooling of the dryer tank during operation of the unit.
• Insufficient filling indicated by the regulator sensor. Hold the end of the thermostatic bulb in order to
warm it. The suction pressure should rise quickly to at least 1.45 bar when the engine is running at idle
speed. If not, replace the thermostatic regulator.
• The capillary tube of the regulator is broken or leaking: regulator stays closed, making the unit operate
at very low pressure.
• Ice forms in the regulator or in the nozzle. The regulator or nozzle can ice up even if the pipes do not.
12-14 MF 5700 SL series tractors
ACT0021460
12. Cab

• Regulator is blocked. Presence of corrosion products. When the end of the thermostatic bulb is heated,
the low pressure value does not change. The regulator can open after a period of deactivation and
blocks after a period of operation.
• Check that the air inlet port of the evaporator is not blocked.
• There is insufficient refrigerant. Check for air bubbles in the sight glass when the unit is operating, with
the fans turning.

Low pressure too high


• Compressor belt loose.
• Regulator thermostatic bulb fitted incorrectly.
• Regulator needle valve stuck in open position. Excess refrigerant flow into the coil, causing the suction
pipe to cool or ice up.
• Compressor inlet valve filter blocked.
• Leak at compressor suction and delivery valves.
• If high pressure is low, low pressure is high, and the fill level is correct, leak at compressor cylinder
head or faulty valves.

Insufficient cooling
• Incorrect compressor operation
• Incorrect regulator operation
• High and low pressure too low, a vacuum forms with correct fill level, temperature too low at
evaporator outlet, causing regulator to close, poor synchronization between thermostat cycle and
opening of regulator.

12.1.3.3 Air conditioning tests - Cleaning the system


The air conditioning system must always stay clean to ensure optimal operation.

Cab air filter


The cab air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of operation and replaced every 1,000 hours of
operation. If working in dusty conditions, cleaning should take place at shorter intervals. Take care to keep

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-15


ACT0021460
12. Cab

the filter in good condition, because dust gathers on the evaporator where it comes into contact with
humidity; this then must be removed for cleaning, requiring the system to be drained.

Condenser
The condenser should be cleaned on a daily basis if the tractor is working in very dusty conditions. The
condenser is normally located in front of the engine cooling radiator and should be cleaned with a jet of
compressed air. Special care should be taken with the condenser fins. They ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system.

12.1.4 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

12.1.4.1 Safety instructions


It is very important to work in a clean environment to prevent dirty particles from entering the system.
Carefully clean the unions, then lightly oil with compressor oil before connecting them.
Do not use compressed air to clean the pipes, for example, to drive out particles that may have entered:
only use refrigerant in this case.
Only remove the pipe protectors at the last minute. Cut hose pipes with a knife; never with a saw.
Carefully block pipes when they are in storage.
The oil in the air conditioning system is a cooling oil. This oil is miscible with the refrigerant.

Precautions
The air conditioning system can be dangerous. It can be compared with a pressurized steam boiler. If a
pipe bursts, the refrigerant evaporates or boils very quickly.
It can be very dangerous after expansion. An air conditioning engineer must always take precautions when
working to prevent unstoppable refrigerant leaks. R134a refrigerant is non-combustible, non-toxic (except
upon contact with fire) and non-corrosive (except upon contact with water).
Take great care when handling R134a. Direct contact can freeze the skin or eyes.
On contact with fire or at high temperatures, it decomposes into phosgene gas, which is highly
toxic.
Never handle refrigerant without wearing protective goggles and gloves.
Never try to drain the system by loosening a union. Slow, safe draining is only possible using draining /
filling apparatus designed for R134a refrigerant. Do not drain the system in the same room as a naked
flame. The same precautions must be taken for leak detection.
When it is necessary to retighten a union, use two wrenches to avoid bending the pipe, which can cause
leaks.
Never weld or steam-clean near a system containing refrigerant. This can cause excessive pressure and
leakage.
Do not store R134a refrigerant in direct sunlight, near a heat source or in a damp place. Always replace the
bottle protection plugs when it is not being used. Also avoid impacts. Do not transport the bottle in the
passenger compartment of a vehicle.

In case of spillage of R134a


If R134 comes into contact with your eyes, wash with cold water and seek medical advice immediately.
NOTE: Freezing (frostbite) caused by liquid refrigerant can be treated by gradually warming the affected
area with cold water, and then applying cold cream. Seek medical advice immediately.

12-16 MF 5700 SL series tractors


ACT0021460
12. Cab

Recommendation
All operations described in this section must be carried out using servicing and repair equipment (draining/
filling station, refrigerant recovery station, leak detector etc.) specifically designed for R134a refrigerant.

12.1.4.2 General maintenance


IMPORTANT: Before switching on the air conditioning system, ensure that the windows and doors are
properly closed. The cab interior must be kept as clean as possible. If for any reason the cab cannot be
kept completely sealed, the air recycling system must be switched off. Failure to respect this advice can
cause evaporator blockage, stopping the air conditioning system and risking damage to the compressor.
For correct operation of the system, the cab air filter, condenser, fan turbines and evaporator must be
checked periodically. Any blockage causes an increase in the high and low pressures, reducing the
effectiveness of the cooling. The tension and alignment of the drive belt must be checked.
Starting at the evaporator, check the condition of the condensation water drain pipes. Any water build-up
can cause icing in the evaporator, preventing refrigerant flow or reducing performance.
To keep the whole system in good condition, it is recommended to operate the unit for several minutes
every week to lubricate all the seals, because the oil in the compressor is miscible with the refrigerant.

Preventive maintenance
Carry out the checks and services as described in the preceding paragraphs.
Visually check the evaporator, pipes, condenser, dryer, compressor, unions, belt and condensation water
flow in the evaporator.
Carry out an internal check with the low-pressure gage (blue) and high-pressure gage (red), with the engine
running at 1500 rpm, adjusted to the maximum cold setting and the fan at high speed.
Check component temperature.
Regulator outlet (evaporator side), evaporator, low pressure pipes and “inlet valve” on the compressor
should be cold to the touch.
Regulator inlet, condenser, high pressure pipes, “delivery valve" and compressor should be hot to the
touch.
The dryer and oil must be replaced at least every 1500 hours of operation or every three years, or
whenever it is necessary to refill the system.
If the system is too full (more than 2 kg of R134a refrigerant), there is a risk of blockage in the regulator
and dryer.
With air conditioning switched on, if the high and low pressure systems are equal, the compressor is
faulty.
If there is water in the system, there is a risk of blockage in the regulator (needle valve) if a water droplet
freezes: decrease in low and high pressure.

12.1.4.3 Adjusting the clutch air gap


NOTE:
The air gap is determined by the thickness shims. When refitting the clutch assembly, first fit with the
original shims.
When fitting a new clutch on a compressor, use the following shims: 1.02 mm - 0.05 mm - 0.12 mm.
Tighten the nut to a torque of 30 Nm.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-17


ACT0021460
12. Cab

Procedure
1. Check the air gap using a set of shims to
obtain a clearance of 0.4–0.8 mm.
2. If the air gap is not uniform around the whole
periphery, gently lift and strike the places
where the gap is biggest.

Fig. 7

Filling the oil


IMPORTANT:
It is essential to use only Polyalkylene-Glycol (PAG) synthetic oil to fill or top up the compressor.
• Recommended oil: PAG SANDEN SP20
• Compressor capacity: 190 cm³
In case of a system problem and each time a part (pipe, dryer, condenser) must be replaced, it is advisable
to drain the compressor oil and replace it with the recommended quantity of clean oil rather than topping
up the existing level.

Procedure

1. Drain the R134a refrigerant.


2. Remove the plug.
3. Fill or top up the oil level.
4. Refit the plug on the port. Check the condition and correct position of the "O" ring in its seat.
5. Tighten the plug to a torque of 15 Nm. In case of leakage, do not force the plug; remove it and fit a
new "O" ring.
6. Refill the unit with R134a refrigerant.
7. Check the air conditioning system for correct operation.

Replacing a pipe + 10 ml

Oil is added by being sucked into the air conditioning system from the charging device (except for the
100 ml charge to be carried out preferably directly into the compressor).
Oil use precautions:
• Because oils are hygroscopic, it is recommended to store them in plastic containers that can be
compressed after each use in order to prevent damp air mixing with the oil inside.
• Do not mix different brands or types of oil.
WARNING:
PAG oil is an irritant and detergent. Gloves should be worn. In case of contact with skin,
wash hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent irritation.

12.1.4.6 Checking pressures


General
When the air conditioning is switched off, the pressures are balanced and the low and high pressure values
are between 4 bar and 5 bar in a correctly charged system. However, these values vary depending on the
outside temperature.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-21


ACT0021460
12. Cab

When the air conditioning is in operation, the low pressure is between 0.3 bar and 0.65 bar and the high
pressure is between 12 bar and 18.5 bar.
All these values can change according to the outside temperature.
After filling, the air conditioning should be checked for correct operation.

Parameters required to • Maximum cooling and fan speed


perform check • Engine speed at 1800-2000 rpm

Procedure

Procedure
1. Connect the pressure gages to the
compressor see Fig. 12 .
2. Run the engine, set the ventilation at
maximum and the air conditioning at
maximum cold.
3. After a short period of operation, the high-
pressure pipe should be hot and the low-
pressure pipe should be cold. There should
be no bubbles at the dryer tank.
4. Check the compressor cycles. The
compressor operating time must be
approximately equal to the stoppage time
once the cab temperature is balanced.

12.2 Self-regulating air conditioning


12.2.1 General

12.2.1.1 General
Cabs can be fitted with a self-regulating air conditioning system as an option.
This system makes it possible for the cab to be kept at a constant temperature, which is as close as
possible to the temperature selected by the operator.
The controller adjusts the temperature of the air blown by the fan in the cab according to external data
(internal/external air temperature, sun, engine water temperature).
The self-regulating air conditioning system also has automated functions such as defrosting or air recycling.

Air conditioning controls


(1) Manual/automatic fan control
(2) Digital display (LCD)
(3) Compressor ON/OFF button
(4) Defroster button
(5) Recirculation button
(6) Temperature control knob
(7) Left-hand side fan ON/OFF switch

Fig. 20

12.2.1.2 Using the air conditioning system


Digital display screen
The screen (2) see Fig. 21 indicates the temperature setting and air recycling position.
The displayed temperature is the temperature desired by the user and not the actual cab temperature. It
may be displayed in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
To change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit, follow the steps below (see step 1, page 12-30 to
see step 4, page 12-30 ).

Procedure
1. Switch off the tractor ignition.
2. Set the fan potentiometer (1) to OFF.
3. Move the temperature potentiometer (6) to
maximum heat position (red).
4. Switch on the ignition and, within 5 seconds,
press the defroster button (3) and the
recirculation button (5) simultaneously. The
temperature symbol (°C or °F) will appear.

12.2.1.3 Fan control


The ventilation can be adjusted using the fan
potentiometer (1). In the automatic position (A), air
flow is determined by the control unit according to
the comfort settings which have been entered. In
this case, the air flow does not exceed 75% of the
maximum possible air flow.
The selection can be made manually by turning the
potentiometer (1) to adjust the air flow. The
maximum air flow can thus exceed the limit of
75% imposed by the automatic setting.
An OFF position (B) on this button switches off the
temperature regulation system. When selected,
the compressor, heater and fan are switched off. Fig. 22
Air recycling is activated and the corresponding
icon is displayed.

12.2.1.4 Activating the compressor


The compressor can be activated by pressing the
button (3). The LED indicates if it is activated.
It is activated automatically when the following
functions are selected:
• defrosting
• air recycling
• maximum cooling
• maximum heating
As well as cooling the cab, the compressor is used
to reduce the atmospheric humidity in the cab. Air
passing through the evaporator leaves behind part
of its humidity, which is removed by condensation. Fig. 23

12.2.1.5 Defrosting
This function is activated (LED lit) and deactivated (LED not lit) by button (4) see chapter General, page
12-30 . The function remains active for a maximum of 3 minutes.
When the defrosting system is activated:
• The hot water circuit opens
• ventilation is set at 75% of maximum air flow (if on automatic setting)
• air is allowed to enter the cab (no recycling)
• active air conditioning compressor
• "HI" is displayed on the screen

12.2.1.6 Recirculation
Air recycling is activated by pressing button (5) see chapter General, page 12-30 . Two electrically
controlled shutters determine the air source (outside or cab).
Three different settings are available, and are selected by pressing button (6) repeatedly see
chapter General, page 12-30 :

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-31


ACT0021460
12. Cab


Press once: the icon appears. Cab air is recycled. The compressor operates to expel the humidity
building up in the air. Press button (3) to switch off the compressor. After 25 minutes, fresh air is
introduced from outside for approximately 1 minute to renew the cab air.

Press twice: the icon appears. Air from outside is used to ventilate the cab.

Press three times: the icon appears. Air recirculation is in automatic mode. The system
automatically selects the air source (outside or cab). The shutters are in intermediary position in order to
mix air from inside and outside. The air source whose temperature is closest to the desired cab
temperature is selected.
When using tractors fitted with an "antitox" filter (charcoal filter) in polluted or unhealthy air conditions
(spraying, spreading powder fertilizers), do not recycle cab air, so that cab air pressure is higher.
The inlet for outside air allows a rise in pressure. A higher cab pressure limits the amount of air and dirty
particles entering.
Select the air source manually by pressing button (6), rather than using the automatic setting see
chapter General, page 12-30 .
If the tractor is not fitted with an antitox filter and the outside air is polluted, it is recommended to recycle
cab air.

12.2.1.7 Special conditions


When the system is started, if the outside temperature is very high and above a set level, outside air is
automatically introduced into the cab for two minutes to clean the cab interior before changing to the
recycled air setting.
During very cold weather, a start-up procedure is operated automatically until the heater water reaches a
higher temperature.
This procedure incorporates the following:
• minimum ventilation
• outside air (no air recycling)
• compressor, depending on outside temperature

12.2.3 Tests and diagnostics

12.2.3.1 Air conditioning tests - General


As a general rule, pressure values are linked to atmospheric conditions (pressure and temperature). For
ambient temperatures between 30 and 40°C at sea level, the pressures vary from 0.3 to 0.65 bar for low
pressure and from 12 to 18.5 bar for high pressure.
To locate failures, connect the manifold pressure gages to the service unions at the rear of the
compressor.
Leaks in the system cause: insufficient cooling, and high and low pressures that are too low. If it is not full
enough, bubbles appear continuously at the dryer tank sight glass, as well as the same symptoms as
stated above.
If the evaporator is blocked or the regulator is blocked or iced up, a vacuum forms in the low pressure area
and the high pressure is too low. If the system is overfilled, a regulator is stuck open or a condenser is
blocked, the low pressure is too high.
If a condenser is blocked or the system is overfilled, the high pressure becomes excessively high.

System overfill
In a correctly filled unit, the R134a vapors delivered through the compressor loses the superheat absorbed
in the compressor at the first condenser coil, then condenses into liquid form in the subsequent coils.
Before being directed into the dryer, this liquid is stored in the last condenser coil. If the system is
overfilled, the liquid level rises in the condenser. There are therefore fewer coils active in the condensation
process. The temperature and pressure increase, and may cause the pipes to burst in certain cases:
1. During operation:
• overfilling
• worn pipes
• pipes worn by friction
• pipes cut by plate edges
• bend radii too small
• exposure to the battery (acid)
2. When stopped:
Same reasons as during operation, in addition to the following:
• engine compartment ventilation shut-off
• residual engine heat after switch-off
If a pipe is strained to its limit, the temperature increase at switch-off raises the pipe temperature and its
internal pressure.
The heat also decreases the strength of the pipe and all factors combine to burst the pipe.
This is more likely to occur in units overfilled with R134a and when pipes are worn or wrongly positioned
(close to a hot area).

12.2.3.2 Air conditioning tests - Air conditioning unit breakdown

Preliminary checks
The most commonly occurring air conditioning system failure is the lack of cold air. It is therefore
necessary to carry out a number of checks to identify the failure.
• Check that the scheduled maintenance has been carried out: belt tension, cleanliness of various parts
(cab air filter, condenser, evaporator, etc.), damage to parts.
• Check electrical supplies, fuses, condition of connections and supply wires.
12-36 MF 5700 SL series tractors
ACT0021460
12. Cab

• Examine all channels and unions and look for possible build-up of dirt, oil or traces of dampness, which
could indicate a leak.
• Supply the compressor clutch directly from the battery and record the pressure values on the pressure
gages, and check the evaporator is cold. If the system pressures are normal and there is cold in the
evaporator, the failure is electrical. On the other hand, incorrect pressure and lack of cold suggest the
failure is gas-related or gas-related and electrical.

High pressure too high


• Coolant overfill: System must be bled. Avoid excessive bleeding of the system.
• Air in the system, despite correct low pressure level: Bleed system then refill.
• Spaces between condenser fins blocked by insects: Clean condenser.
• Refrigerant remains in liquid form in the suction pipe at the evaporator outlet. This is indicated by damp
or ice on the pipe or on the suction valve of the compressor. Check that the regulator bulb is correctly
fitted on the suction pipe.
• Plug left inside pipe during assembly, indicated by temperature difference upstream and downstream of
plug.
• High pressure very high, low pressure normal, air bubbles at dryer and icing in dryer tank, flow
restricted at dryer inlet which acts as regulator.

High pressure too low


• Incorrect filling: Insufficient refrigerant indicated by presence of air bubbles in dryer.
• Compressor cylinder head gasket split or leaks at valves.

Low pressure too low and insufficient cooling


• Pipe or dryer restricted. This symptom is indicated by a temperature difference upstream and
downstream of the restriction or by cooling of the dryer tank during operation of the unit.
• Insufficient filling indicated by the regulator sensor. Hold the end of the thermostatic bulb in order to
warm it. The suction pressure should rise quickly to at least 1.45 bar when the engine is running at idle
speed. If not, replace the thermostatic regulator.
• The capillary tube of the regulator is broken or leaking: regulator stays closed, making the unit operate
at very low pressure.
• Ice forms in the regulator or in the nozzle. The regulator or nozzle can ice up even if the pipes do not.
• Regulator is blocked. Presence of corrosion products. When the end of the thermostatic bulb is heated,
the low pressure value does not change. The regulator can open after a period of deactivation and
blocks after a period of operation.
• Check that the air inlet port of the evaporator is not blocked.
• There is insufficient refrigerant. Check for air bubbles in the sight glass when the unit is operating, with
the fans turning.

Low pressure too high


• Compressor belt loose.
• Regulator thermostatic bulb fitted incorrectly.
• Regulator needle valve stuck in open position. Excess refrigerant flow into the coil, causing the suction
pipe to cool or ice up.
• Compressor inlet valve filter blocked.
• Leak at compressor suction and delivery valves.
• If high pressure is low, low pressure is high, and the fill level is correct, leak at compressor cylinder
head or faulty valves.

Insufficient cooling
• Incorrect compressor operation
• Incorrect regulator operation
MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-37
ACT0021460
12. Cab

• High and low pressure too low, a vacuum forms with correct fill level, temperature too low at
evaporator outlet, causing regulator to close, poor synchronization between thermostat cycle and
opening of regulator.

Noisy regulator (steady whistling sound)


• Insufficient refrigerant indicated by bubbles in the sight glass.

Irregular compressor operation (irregular cycle)


• Check the belt tension.
• Check the clutch clearance (air gap).
• Check voltage and current of the clutch coil.
• Check the compressor itself.

Unusual noise from compressor


1. In clutched position:
• Check compressor assembly.
• Check clutch and absence of slip.
• Check R134a refrigerant level.
• Check bearings in clutch and compressor.
• Check quantity of cooling oil.
• Check compressor suction and delivery valves.
2. In declutched position:
• Check clutch air gap.

12.2.3.3 Air conditioning tests - Cleaning the system


The air conditioning system must always stay clean to ensure optimal operation.

Cab air filter


The cab air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of operation and replaced every 1,000 hours of
operation. If working in dusty conditions, cleaning should take place at shorter intervals. Take care to keep
the filter in good condition, because dust gathers on the evaporator where it comes into contact with
humidity; this then must be removed for cleaning, requiring the system to be drained.

Condenser
The condenser should be cleaned on a daily basis if the tractor is working in very dusty conditions. The
condenser is normally located in front of the engine cooling radiator and should be cleaned with a jet of
compressed air. Special care should be taken with the condenser fins. They ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system.

12.2.4 Adjustments, bleeding and calibrations

12.2.4.1 Safety instructions


It is very important to work in a clean environment to prevent dirty particles from entering the system.
Carefully clean the unions, then lightly oil with compressor oil before connecting them.
Do not use compressed air to clean the pipes, for example, to drive out particles that may have entered:
only use refrigerant in this case.
Only remove the pipe protectors at the last minute. Cut hose pipes with a knife; never with a saw.
Carefully block pipes when they are in storage.

The oil in the air conditioning system is a cooling oil. This oil is miscible with the refrigerant.

Precautions
The air conditioning system can be dangerous. It can be compared with a pressurized steam boiler. If a
pipe bursts, the refrigerant evaporates or boils very quickly.
It can be very dangerous after expansion. An air conditioning engineer must always take precautions when
working to prevent unstoppable refrigerant leaks. R134a refrigerant is non-combustible, non-toxic (except
upon contact with fire) and non-corrosive (except upon contact with water).
Take great care when handling R134a. Direct contact can freeze the skin or eyes.
On contact with fire or at high temperatures, it decomposes into phosgene gas, which is highly
toxic.
Never handle refrigerant without wearing protective goggles and gloves.
Never try to drain the system by loosening a union. Slow, safe draining is only possible using draining /
filling apparatus designed for R134a refrigerant. Do not drain the system in the same room as a naked
flame. The same precautions must be taken for leak detection.
When it is necessary to retighten a union, use two wrenches to avoid bending the pipe, which can cause
leaks.
Never weld or steam-clean near a system containing refrigerant. This can cause excessive pressure and
leakage.
Do not store R134a refrigerant in direct sunlight, near a heat source or in a damp place. Always replace the
bottle protection plugs when it is not being used. Also avoid impacts. Do not transport the bottle in the
passenger compartment of a vehicle.

In case of spillage of R134a


If R134 comes into contact with your eyes, wash with cold water and seek medical advice immediately.
NOTE: Freezing (frostbite) caused by liquid refrigerant can be treated by gradually warming the affected
area with cold water, and then applying cold cream. Seek medical advice immediately.

Recommendation
All operations described in this section must be carried out using servicing and repair equipment (draining/
filling station, refrigerant recovery station, leak detector etc.) specifically designed for R134a refrigerant.

12.2.4.2 General maintenance


IMPORTANT: Before switching on the air conditioning system, ensure that the windows and doors are
properly closed. The cab interior must be kept as clean as possible. If for any reason the cab cannot be
kept completely sealed, the air recycling system must be switched off. Failure to respect this advice can
cause evaporator blockage, stopping the air conditioning system and risking damage to the compressor.
For correct operation of the system, the cab air filter, condenser, fan turbines and evaporator must be
checked periodically. Any blockage causes an increase in the high and low pressures, reducing the
effectiveness of the cooling. The tension and alignment of the drive belt must be checked.
Starting at the evaporator, check the condition of the condensation water drain pipes. Any water build-up
can cause icing in the evaporator, preventing refrigerant flow or reducing performance.
To keep the whole system in good condition, it is recommended to operate the unit for several minutes
every week to lubricate all the seals, because the oil in the compressor is miscible with the refrigerant.

Preventive maintenance
Carry out the checks and services as described in the preceding paragraphs.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-39


ACT0021460
12. Cab

Visually check the evaporator, pipes, condenser, dryer, compressor, unions, belt and condensation water
flow in the evaporator.
Carry out an internal check with the low-pressure gage (blue) and high-pressure gage (red), with the engine
running at 1500 rpm, adjusted to the maximum cold setting and the fan at high speed.
Check component temperature.
Regulator outlet (evaporator side), evaporator, low pressure pipes and “inlet valve” on the compressor
should be cold to the touch.
Regulator inlet, condenser, high pressure pipes, “delivery valve" and compressor should be hot to the
touch.
The dryer and oil must be replaced at least every 1500 hours of operation or every three years, or
whenever it is necessary to refill the system.
If the system is too full (more than 2 kg of R134a refrigerant), there is a risk of blockage in the regulator
and dryer.
With air conditioning switched on, if the high and low pressure systems are equal, the compressor is
faulty.
If there is water in the system, there is a risk of blockage in the regulator (needle valve) if a water droplet
freezes: decrease in low and high pressure.

12.2.4.3 Adjusting the clutch air gap


NOTE:
The air gap is determined by the thickness shims. When refitting the clutch assembly, first fit with the
original shims.
When fitting a new clutch on a compressor, use the following shims: 1.02 mm - 0.05 mm - 0.12 mm.
Tighten the nut to a torque of 30 Nm.

Procedure
1. Check the air gap using a set of shims to
obtain a clearance of 0.4–0.8 mm.
2. If the air gap is not uniform around the whole
periphery, gently lift and strike the places
where the gap is biggest.

Fig. 29

Filling the oil


IMPORTANT:
It is essential to use only Polyalkylene-Glycol (PAG) synthetic oil to fill or top up the compressor.
• Recommended oil: PAG SANDEN SP20
• Compressor capacity: 190 cm³
In case of a system problem and each time a part (pipe, dryer, condenser) must be replaced, it is advisable
to drain the compressor oil and replace it with the recommended quantity of clean oil rather than topping
up the existing level.

similar amount of new oil

Burst pipe or other major leaks + 100 ml

Replacing a condenser + 30 ml

Replacing an evaporator + 30 ml

Replacing the dryer tank + 15 ml

Replacing a pipe + 10 ml

Oil is added by being sucked into the air conditioning system from the charging device (except for the
100 ml charge to be carried out preferably directly into the compressor).
Oil use precautions:
• Because oils are hygroscopic, it is recommended to store them in plastic containers that can be
compressed after each use in order to prevent damp air mixing with the oil inside.
• Do not mix different brands or types of oil.
WARNING:
PAG oil is an irritant and detergent. Gloves should be worn. In case of contact with skin,
wash hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent irritation.

12.2.4.6 Checking pressures


General
When the air conditioning is switched off, the pressures are balanced and the low and high pressure values
are between 4 bar and 5 bar in a correctly charged system. However, these values vary depending on the
outside temperature.

MF 5700 SL series tractors 12-43


ACT0021460
12. Cab

When the air conditioning is in operation, the low pressure is between 0.3 bar and 0.65 bar and the high
pressure is between 12 bar and 18.5 bar.
All these values can change according to the outside temperature.
After filling, the air conditioning should be checked for correct operation.

Parameters required to • Maximum cooling and fan speed


perform check • Engine speed at 1800-2000 rpm

Procedure

Procedure
1. Connect the pressure gages to the
