Integrated Hydrostatic Transaxle M15PROCEDURE:
Note: Refer to fig's 3 and 4 for assemblysequence numbers,
(shown inparenthesis) used throughout thisprocedure.
1. If an auxiliary pump (not shown) is in-stalled on the
auxiliary mounting pad,remove it.
2. Remove the auxiliary mounting pad (11)(or cover) from the
front cover. (Fig.5)
3. Using a 5mm internal hex wrench, re-move the 6 screws
securing the clutch /brake assembly (12) to the front
cover.(Fig.6)
4. Using a 15mm wrench, remove the 10front cover bolts. (Fig.
7)

5. Remove the front cover (13) from thetransmission housing.
(Fig. 8)
6. Flush the case to remove any loosedebris.
7. Remove the snap ring (14) that retains thePTO shaft seal.
(Fig. 9)
8. Remove the PTO shaft seal (15) andbearing (16) by pressing
from inside thefront cover. Discard seal. (Fig. 10)

housing.
9. At this point carefully assess the conditionof the ring gear
(21) and the pinion gear (8).If no damage is detected skip steps 10
-14, and steps 33 - 38 and continue withreplacing the differential.
If damage isdetected, order ring and pinion gearreplacement kit
from Sauer-Sundstrand.*Two kits exist for right and left hand
gearsets. To determine which one to use, lookat the pinion gear. If
the teeth curve to theright, order kit 4510280. If they curve tothe
left , order kit 4510281. If you are notsure which kit to order
contact your Sauer-Sundstrand representative. (Fig. 11)
10. Using a 17mm wrench remove the thir-teen bolts that connect
the hydraulichousing to the gear housing (22).(Fig. 12)
11. Using a soft mallet strike the gear housingto remove the
hydraulic housing. (Fig. 13)
* Kit 4510282 and 4510283 already include ring andpinion
gears.

12. Using a 30mm wrench remove the locknut (1) from the pinion
gear shaft (8).The rotation of the axles must be blockedat both
ends before nut can be loosened.(Fig. 14)
13. Remove the washer (2), small bearing(3), spacer (4), and
drive gear (5) fromthe pinion gear shaft. (Fig. 15)
14. Using a 5mm internal hex wrench,remove the six screws that
attach thebearing retainer (6). Remove pinion gearshaft and bearing
assembly (8). (Fig. 16)

19. Using a 15mm wrench, remove six of theten ring gear screws
from the differential,leaving four screws evenly spaced aroundthe
circumference. Loosen the remainingfour until they stand about 12mm
[1/2 in]above the surface of the differential.
Fig. 20 Removing the differential.
20. Using a soft mallet, tap the four screwsapplying even
pressure to drive the ringgear off of the differential. If ring
gear isdamaged, discard. (Fig. 21)
21. With the ring gear free, remove theremaining four screws.
Remove the ringgear. Fig. 21 Removing the ring gear.
18. Remove the differential (18) and differen-tial bearing
carrier (19). If shims (20)were used in assembly, retain for
reas-sembly. (Fig. 20)
22. Install the ring gear to the new differen-tial.
23. Install all ten screws and tighten themevenly working your
way around thedifferential in a crisscross pattern. Thisoperation
presses the ring gear onto thenew differential.
24. Torque the ring gear screws to 75 Nm [55 lbfft] again using
a crisscross pat-tern. (Fig. 22)

the bearingcarrier screws to 43 Nm [32 lbfft].(Fig. 27)
Fig. 26 Installing the differential bearingclamp.
Fig. 27 Installing the differential bearing carrier.30. Using a
dial indicator on the ring gear,
check the backlash by rocking the differen-tial back and forth
without turning thepinion gear. Backlash should be .254mm+/- .101
[.010 in +/- .004]. Extra shims(.005 in and .008 in) are included
with thekit and may be used as required to setbacklash within
desired range. To in-crease backlash, shim between the
differ-ential clamp and the right hand sidebearing cup. To decrease
backlash, shimbetween the differential bearing carrierand the left
hand side bearing cup. Aftershimming, reinstall the differential
persteps 25 through 29. Recheck backlashand repeat shimming as
necessary.(Fig. 28) Fig. 28 Checking the backlash.

beforeassembly. Apply Loctite #271 or equiva-lent thread locking
compound to a mini-mum of 4 thread widths for 360 degreesof the nut
and shaft. Hand tighten locknut so the large bearing surface of the
nutfaces the pinion end of the shaft, thentorque to 244 Nm [180 +/-
10 lbfft].(Fig. 33)
Note: Allow 2 hours for compound to curebefore operating
unit.
