Bulletin Content
This bulletin is being issued to revise the Service Manual art and procedure for the disassembly and assembly of the Driven Sprocket Support. Attached are the updated pages for the 1996-2000 Unit Repair Service Manual Sections. Replace these pages in your Service Manual. The updated Service Manual information shows the Driven Sprocket Support art and procedure without the third clutch exhaust valve cup plug (426). This third clutch exhaust valve cup plug (426) was removed from production April 5,1996 (Julian date 095). The sub-assembly parts for the Driven Sprocket Support Assemblies produced after the above Julian date are not interchangeable with the sub-assembly components for the Driven Sprocket Support Assemblies produced prior to the above Julian date. When the third clutch exhaust valve cup plug (426) was removed from production, the length of the third clutch exhaust valve spring (425) was increased as well. However, the Driven Sprocket Support Assembly - Complete is interchangeable.
