Section 1: Introduction
1 - 2
2.8. The engine family and specification numbers are
located on a tag on the rear cylinder shroud of
the engine.
2.9. The transmission identification number is
located on a flat surface adjacent to the dipstick.
See Figure 2.9.
3. Fasteners
3.1. A combination of metric and SAE fasteners are
used to assemble the Big Country. If a metric
tool size is specified in this manual, the fastener
will be metric. If fractional inch tool size is speci-
fied in this manual, the fastener will be SAE.
3.2. When servicing a Big Country it is important to
replace locking hardware when it is worn. Lock
washers should be replaced if they show any
sign of flattening. Nylon insert lock nuts and
center-lock nuts should be replaced when they
get easy to turn. The bolts used in conjunction
with center-lock nuts are also subject to wear.
They should be replaced if the thread profile is
noticeably worn. Any hardware that shows signs
of wear, stripping, or stretch should be replaced
in the course of normal service. If locking hard-
ware is not readily available, thread locking
compound such as Loctite 242 (blue) should be
used.
3.3. All torque specifications will be given in inch-
pounds or foot-pounds, whichever scale is
appropriate for a particular fastener. This
includes metric fasteners.
4. Special Tools
NOTE: We are not in the tool business. Where
special tools will make a specific job easier for
the technician, we offer them.

tion Tool: Part Number 703-05103 is designed

each side of the top mounting point of the spring
and shock absorber unit during the removal and
installation process. See Figure 4.2.
