How many speeds is a 8LL transmission?
eight road
The Fuller 8LL transmissions provide drivers with the versatility they need for a mix of on- and off-highway applications. These transmissions offer eight road speed gears and two additional deep reduction ratios in low and reverse.
What is a deep reduction transmission?
The deep reduction is only used to get the load moving, it gives you 5 gears below your normal 1st. You don’t go in and out of D/R for every shift sequence, you would shift it like a 10 speed for normal operation.
What causes a howling sound in a Eaton transmission?
It is caused by bearings with damaged balls or rollers, or with pitted and spalled raceways. Cracked Gear – A gear cracked or broken by shock loading or by pressing on shaft during installation will produce this sound at low speeds. At high speeds a howl will be present.
What should the oil level be on an Eaton transmission?
If the oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is ignored, all the maintenance procedures in the world are not going to keep the transmission running or assure long transmission life. Eaton Fuller transmissions are designed so that the internal parts operate in a bath of oil circulated by the motion of gears and shafts. 1. Maintain oil level.
Why does my transmission make noise at low speeds?
Bearings – Noise comes in at low shaft speeds in any position. It is caused by bearings with damaged balls or rollers, or with pitted and spalled raceways. Cracked Gear – A gear cracked or broken by shock loading or by pressing on shaft during installation will produce this sound at low speeds.
What are the problems with an Eaton Fuller transmission?
Oil level too low or too high, wrong type of oil, or an operating angle of more than 12 degrees. 2. Operating consistently under 20 MPH. 3. High engine RPM. 4. Restricted air flow around transmission, due to the transmission being “boxed in” by frame rails, deck lids, fuel tanks and mounting brackets, or by a large bumper assembly.
