Spindle Relocation Procedure -
reference images on previous page
• Disconnect the scraper from the tractor, block the inside tires and raise rear. Support
with stands so rear tires rotate freely.
• Remove outside tires. NOTE: Removal of hub from spindle will allow easier access
to spindle mounting bolts.
• Lower the rear of the scraper or block the inside tires so they cannot rotate.
• Remove the nyloc nuts from the spindle mounting bolts, ensuring the inside wheel
does not move laterally.
• Remove the outside spindle and shift forward (as shown) on three of the existing
spindle fasteners (9” LG -- labeled “A” in OFFSET diagram).
• Replace the remaining spindle fasters with p.n. AFB-00059. Retain with nyloc nuts.
• Torque all spindle mounting fasteners to 1,207-1,810 ft-lb.
• Raise rear of scraper and support with stands so rear tires rotate freely.
• Reinstall rear wheels (hubs if removed previously). Retain with lug nuts.
• Lower the scraper to ground.
• Torque lug nuts to 750-900 ft-lb.
• Check air pressure in all tires.
Pushing the Earthmover
Your scraper was designed to be pushed only when equipped with an optional push-
bar. However, Ashland Industries
STRONGLY recommends using extreme caution when
pushing the earthmover, to prevent any unnecessary damage.
CAUTION! Your earthmover must be pushed in a straight line with a maximum 100 HP
