The governor (F ig. I) . operating

the desired , predetermi ned maximum
and minimum pressures. The com-
pressor run s cont inu all y wh ile the

sion of air is controlled by the gov-
ern or which stops or Slart s compres-
sion when th e max imum or mini-

Con necti ons in this system are to
the rese rvo ir and comp ressor unload-

Reservo ir air pressure en ters the
D-2 governor at one of its reservoir
ports and act s on the area of the
pistoll and benea th the inl et and ex-
haust va lve. As the a ir press ure
builds up, the piston moves aga inst
the res istance of the pressure setting
sprin g. The piston and inl et and ex-
haust valve move up when the res-
ervo ir air pressure reaches the cut-
o ut setti ng of th e governo r.

inlet and exhaust va lve and then the
inl et passage opens. Reservoi r air

the ground connection is satisfactory.
1. To check the solenoid valve
operation, d isconnect the lead wires
at terminals "E", "F" and "G", and
the air lines leading to the respective
shift unit.
2. Install an air pressure ga uge in
th e air line opening in the solenoid

3. Apply a power supply (vehicle
voltage) to the solenoid valve ter-
minal and observe the pressure gauge
reading. The operat ing pressure
should approximate the reservoir
pressure. If the gauge indicates
approximate reservoir pressure, the
solenoid valve operation is satisfac-
tory. If the gauge indicates low or no
pressure, the solenoid va lve is faulty.
AIR-TORSION SPRING SHIFT
UNIT OPERATION CHECK
If the electrical system is satisfac-
tory and the axle does not shift
satisfactorily, the troub le may be
caused by a faulty air-torsion spring
shift unit. Disassemble and repair a
faulty shift unit.
SPEEDOMETER ADAPTER
OPERATION CHECK
Two speedometer ada pters are
mounted together with one adapter
bein g energized in th e hi gh axle
range only while the other is ener-
gized in the intermediate axle range
and high axle range. The adapters
are grounded through the speedom-
eter mounting or the speedometer
cable and cable housin g. Before con-
demning speedometer adapter opera-
tio n, make certain th at the ground
co nn ec ti on is satisfactory.
1. To test the speedometer adapter
nect the lead wire at termin al "B".
It is ass um ed that the term ina l "B"
lead wire con nects to th e black wire
valve.
2. Co nnect the test lamp to the
terminal "B" lead wire and ground
on the vehicle frame.
3. T urn the ignition sw itch on and
observe the test lamp operation. The
test lamp shou ld light in the hi gh
range or " HI" pOS itIOn of the
control swi tch. The lamp should go
out when the control switch is
placed in the "INT" or "LO" position.
4. To test the other speedometer
adapter circuit with a test lamp, dis-
connect th e lead wire at terminal
"C". It is assumed that the terminal
"C" lead wire connects to the red
wire leading to the forward rear axle
solenoid va lve.
S. Co nnect the test lamp to the
termin al "C" lead wire and grou nd
on the vehicle frame.
6. Turn the ignition sw itch on and
o bse rve the test lamp operation. The
test lamp shou ld li ght in the inter-
med iate range or "INT" position and
hi gh range or " HI" position of the
control switch. The lamp should go
out when the control switch is placed
in the " LO" position.
If the lamp indications are cor-
rect, current supply to adap ters is
correc t. If the lamp indications are
correct and the axle shifts normall y,
but the speedometer does not operate
properly, repl ace the fa ulty adapter.
If the test lamp indications arc not
correc t, the trouble is in the wiring
harness or control switch.
LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
OPERATION CHECK
(WITHOUT ELECTRIC
LOCKOUT)
The low pressure switch opens the
air shift system electrical circuit when
the inter-axle lockout is engaged. Be-
fo re condemning the low pressure

connections are sa tisfactory.
1. To test the low pressure sw itch,
place the control sw itch in the " HI"
position or high ax le range.
2. Turn on the ignition sw itch,
then engage the inter-axle differen-
tial lockout. Air should bleed from
the shift system and the axles should

shift to low ran ge.
3. If this does not occur, c heck the
low pressure sw itch circu it with a
test lamp as follows:
(a) Disco nnect the lead wire at
terminal "D", Connect the test lamp
to terminal " D" and groun d it on the

swi tch . Place the lockout valve in the
e ngaged and disen gaged positions,
and observe the test lamp operation.
(b) In the disengaged pos ition,
the test lamp should li ght. If th e
lamp does not light, check for a poor
electr ical connection or a broken
lead wire. If the wire and con nec tion
a re sat isfa ctory, the low pressure
sw itch is faulty.
(c) In the engaged position, the
test lamp sho uld not li ght. If the
lamp li ghts, the low press ure swi tch
is faulty.

DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The Eaton Three-S peed Ta ndem
Drive Axle consists of two planetary-
type, two-speed axle units, coupled
with a power divider and an inter-
axle differential.
One control sw itch, mount ed on
the gear shift lever, effects the speed
changes. This manuall y - operated
sw itc h control s operation of a n air-
torsion spring shift system, which, in
turn, shifts the axles from one ratio
to the next.
OPERATION-SYSTEM
High Range. When the co nt rol switch
is moved to the "H I" position or the
high axle range, cu rren t to the two
sole noid va lves allows air to pass from
its supply through the va lves and be
applied to the air sh ift diaphragm on
both the forwa rd and the rear-rear
driving ax les.
Diaphragm movement operates the
GROUP 4
push rod on each unit , which , in turn,
move the spring winding levers. The
spring winding leve rs increase th e
load placed on the torsion springs.
When this occ urs, th e axles are ready
to shift to high range. When torque
on the gears is relieved by closing
a nd opening the thrott le, or declu tch-
in g, the shift is co mpl eted.
Interm ediate Range. When the con-
trol switch is moved to the " INT"
position or th e intermediate range,
the soleno id va lve shut s off the air
supply to the rear·rear axlc shift unit ,
a nd the solenoid valve for the for-
ward-rear axle remains open, all ow-
in g the forw a rd ax le shift unit to re-
la in its ai r. Thus, when torque on
the gea rs is relieved by closing and
opening the throttle , or declutching,
the rear-rear axle is shifted to low
ran ge and the forward -rcar ax le rc-
mains in high range and the shi ft is
now completed to in termediate.
Low Range. When th e control
sw itch is moved to " La" pos ition ,
or low range, both solen oid va lves
shut ofT the a ir suppl y. Air pressure
in the air-torsion sp ring sh ift uni ts
bleeds back through th e solenoid
va lves and air lines. Pressure on the
diaphragm is released. The push
rod moves toward the diaph ragm
and moves the spring wi nd ing leve r.
Additional load is placed o n the
to rsion spri ng prov id ing a cond ition
ready fo r the axle to sh ift to the low
ran ge. When torque on the gears is
relieved by closing and opening the
throttl e, or declut c hing, the shift to
low range is completed.
OPERATION-COMPONENTS
Co ntrol Switch. T he con trol sw itch
is a three-pos ition switch (Fig. 14 )

Speedometer Adaptors. Two spee d-
ometer adapters are mounted in the
system a nd compensate for drive
shaft speed variations be tween low,
intermedi ate and high speed ax le
range. I n low range, the adapters are
not energized. In intermediate range,
o ne adap ter is energized to a 1 : 1
ratio while the oth er adapter is not
energized. In high range both adap -
ters a re ene rgized to a 1: 1 ratio.
This arrangement is accomplished by
connecting each adapter in parall el
to one of each of the two solenoid
valves in the system .
For sys tems th at use the front
wheel drive speedometer, the above
mention ed speedometer adapters are
not required in the electrical system.
Wiring Harness and Circuit
Break e r . The elec tr ica l wiring in the
system is a completely assembled
unit including a circuit breaker. Indi-
vidua l wi res in th e harness a re iden-
tified by various co lors (Fig. 13).
The circuit breaker is connected to
the wire leading from the power
sou rce. If a short circuit occurs, the
circ uit breaker will open and cut
off the electrical current to the
system .
Solenoid Valves. Two solenoid
valves prov id e the link between the
electrica l cont rol syste m and the air-
torsion sprin g shift units. Wh en the
solenoids a rc energized, air is allowed
to travel to the ai r shift units and
thu s shift the ax les. When the sole-
noid valves a re de-energized , by
move ment of the control switch, th e
ai r pressure supply is shut off allow-
ing the air-torsion spring sh ift un its
to bleed ai r through th e solenoid
valve exhaust port. In units with an
electric lockou t, an add itional sole-
noid valve co ntrol s the air pressure
supply to operate the lockou t unit
mounted on the power divider.
Lockout with Low Pressure Switch.
A low pressure switch is inclu ded in
the shi ft system. Thi s sw itch is
mounted in the loc kout valve and
prevents th e use of the inter-axle
differential lockout except when the
ax les are in low ratio. When the lock-
out is e ngaged, thi s sw itch immedi-
ately all ows th e axles to go to low
ratio , no m atter what range they
were in prev iously. With the lockout
engaged, the axles cannot be sh ifted.

DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
The drive line is composed of the
un iversal joints, connecting shafts,
and the attaching fl anges. The num-
be r of shafts and un iversal joints
used depends on the truck wheelbase.
The shorter wheelbase trucks use
o nly the drive shaft portion of the
drive lines and have a short sliding
spline-type drive shaft with Mechan-
ic type flanges .
The longer wheelbase trucks are
equ ipped with one or more coupling
shafts, which extend fro m the trans-
mission to rubber-bushed center sup-
port bearin gs, and a drive shaft
which extends from the center sup-
port to the rear axle (Fig. 1).
All the truck universa l joint sp iders
and sliding splines are equipped with
lubrication fittings. These spiders and
splines should be lubricated periodi-
cally.
The center suppo rt bearings are
pre-lubricated and sealed for the life
of the bearing.

FI G. 2 - Transmission 10 Auxiliary Universal Joinls
GROUP 5
A T-Series truck equipped with an
auxiliary transmission ha s a trans-
mission to auxiliary tran smiss ion uni-
versa l joint ( Fig. 2) to transmit the
power from the conventional trans-
miss ion to the auxi li ar y transmission.
This assembly consists of two cIose-
coup led universa l joints. The assem-
bly may be replaced without remov-
ing either of the transmissions from
the truck.
In the multiple shaft drive line in-
stallation, the sli p joint is located in
the drive shaft, or in the coupling
shaft. Drive shafts and coupling
shafts are balanced ; therefore, if the
truck is to be undercoat ed, cover the
drive shaft to prevent getting under-
coat ing mater ial on the shaft.
All universal joints are of the
needle bearing type. The universal
joint bearings are retained on the
universal joint spiders by bearing
caps and bolts.
