-   Precision-machined IPS gearbox shaft
-   Hardened bearing and spline surfaces
-   Used with gear set 3840695 and disc kit 3841460

## 🔌 Function

Supports and transmits torque between the clutch pack and reduction gears while maintaining accurate bearing and gear alignment.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Metallic gearbox noise
-   Excessive shaft end-float or radial play
-   Worn splines or bearing journals
-   Clutch debris or metal in the oil
-   Loss of drive or gear damage

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Handle and store the shaft so the bearing journals and seal running surfaces stay unmarked — a nick on a seal track will cause a leak that no new seal will cure
-   Remove the protective coating and check the shaft for straightness, scoring, pitting and stepped wear at the journals, splines and seal areas before fitting
-   Lubricate journals, splines and seal surfaces with clean oil of the grade specified for the assembly as it goes together, and renew the seals and any single-use nuts or locking devices disturbed on removal
-   Draw bearings and couplings on square with a press or drawing tool that loads only the correct race — hammering a bearing onto a shaft marks the races and can distort the shaft
-   Set end float, backlash and shim thickness to the values in the workshop manual for your unit, then turn the assembly by hand to confirm it is free before applying power
