Kessler Type 51, Type 61, Type 71 and Type 81 Axle Service Manual

An axle carries the crane's load and transmits drive or steering force to the wheels. When one starts leaking, running hot or making noise, the crane is down until someone sorts it out. The service manual is what a technician picks up when the machine is out of warranty and the repair is happening in your own shop.

What this manual helps you do

• Follow removal and installation procedures to pull an axle from the carrier and refit it.
• Rebuild the differential, with disassembly and assembly steps in sequence.
• Check planetary hubs and wheel ends for wear before you decide to repair or replace.
• Adjust settings after reassembly using the inspection and adjustment procedures.
• Troubleshoot brake problems at the axle and trace them back to the cause.

Who this is for

A rental fleet mechanic or crane service technician who handles axle repairs in-house will get the most from it. It also suits an independent repair shop taking on Kessler axles, or plant maintenance staff looking after their own cranes and heavy vehicles.

Q: How does it fit my repair job?

A: If you're removing, rebuilding, adjusting or troubleshooting one of these axles, a service manual like this is where you'd expect to find the procedures. Having it on file also means the next tech doesn't start from scratch.

Download it, put it on the shop laptop, and have the procedures at hand before the axle comes off the crane.
