Massey Ferguson 5455, 5460, 5465 - Rear axle differential lock
The left-hand flange contains the differential lock mechanism. The system consists of a piston and a mobile dog clutch splined with the left-hand trumpet housing input sun gear. The mobile dog clutch is moved by the piston which is supplied by the 17 bar hydraulic system via a solenoid valve fitted on the right-hand cover plate.
The piston moves and pushes against the mobile dog clutch, compressing
the spring. The teeth of the mobile dog clutch engage with a fixed dog
clutch that is attached to the differential unit. In this position, the
right and left-hand trumpet housing input sun gears turn at the same
speed. When the pressure is released, the mobile dog clutch is driven
back by the spring.

Removing the left-hand flange and differential lock assembly
It is possible to carry out maintenance on the differential lock
hydraulic assembly (10) by removing only the left-hand trumpet housing.
Remove the left-hand trumpet housing. Disconnect the supply pipe (2),
unscrew the union (39) and take out the pipe (40). If access to the
union (39) is difficult on tractors fitted with 4-speed economy PTO,
remove the control (1). Remove the brake piston. Purpose of the studs
(2) and (46). Stud (2): this helps to attach the left-hand flange (9).
it holds the lubrication pipe (47) for the pinion (34).
To reach the nut (3), remove the auxiliary spool valve support and work
through the resulting opening. If this operation has to be carried out
on a tractor fitted with 4-speed economy PTO, it is necessary to also
remove the hitch hook support and the PTO top cover plate located at the
rear of the tractor, the double gear and the control fork. Stud (46):
this attaches the right-hand flange (25).
It supports the return pipe (53) of the hydraulic spool valves. The two
studs (2) and (46) are fitted in the housing with a locking product
(Loctite 242 or equivalent). The nuts on either side are tightened like
the other screws holding the flanges, to a torque of 85-100 Nm. Remove
the flange (9), the locating ring (45), and if necessary, the friction
washer (11), the mobile dog clutch (7) and the spring (6).

5470, 5475 - Disassembling and reassembling the differential lock
assembly
Differential lock disassembly
Take out cup (14), deflector (13) and shim (49) (if fitted). Mark the
deflector fitting direction and the location of the shim (49). Remove
the circlip (4). Take out the piston (5) using a jet of compressed air.
Remove the "O" rings (3) (8) (1). Unscrew the finger (12) (if
necessary).
Differential lock reassembly
Check the components and replace those that are defective. Clean finger
(12), smear it with Loctite 542, then Install it and tighten it on
flange (9). Smear the "O" rings (3) (8) with miscible grease ("Amber
Technical" or equivalent), and fit them correctly in the bottom of their
respective grooves. Using a plastic hammer, insert the piston (5) into
the flange (9) while respecting the location of the finger (12). Install
the circlip (4), the shim (49) (if necessary), and the deflector (13),
respecting its fitting direction, and the cup (14). The shim (49) (if
used) must be fitted between the flange (9) and the deflector (13).

Reinstall the left-hand flange and the differential lock assembly
Install the "O" ring (1). Assemble the washer (11), the mobile dog
clutch (7) and the spring (6). Reinstall the assembly in the left-hand
flange (9). Flange (9) fitting method.
Screw two guide studs "G" (L = 60 mm approx.) onto the centre housing.
Check for the presence of the ring (45). Position the flange assembly
(9) turning it so that the oil passage is facing downwards. Install the
washer (44). Tighten alternately and uniformly the screw (56) and nut
(42) to a torque of 85-100 Nm. Install the pipe (40) and the union (39).
Sealing test
If maintenance has been carried out on the piston (5), seals (3) (8) or
flange (9), it is necessary to check the sealing of the assembly.
Install a pressure gauge that has been previously tested for tightness
to the supply union (39). Supply the system with compressed air at
approximately 5 bar to correctly place the piston and the "O" rings in
the left-hand flange (9). Reduce the pressure to 0.3 bar and carry out
the sealing test. Close the valve.
For approximately one minute, no drop in pressure should be observed on the pressure gauge. Disconnect the pressure gauge and connect the supply pipe (2). If removed, reconnect the 4-speed economy PTO control and set the control. Reinstall the brake piston and the left-hand trumpet housing. Start the engine. Check the sealing of the supply pipe (2) and the correct operation of the differential lock.
