The temperature of the bearings in the power take-off clutch needs checked when the clutch is at normal operating temperature. If the temperature is too high, the clutch will need to be disassembled, cleaned and the bearings repacked and adjusted. The repair will be done at no cost to you. Contact your local Caterpillar dealer immediately and schedule a time to have this service performed. The repair time for this service is approximately four to twenty hours depending on repair needed. We regret the inconvenience this may cause you, but urge you to have this service performed as soon as possible to prevent unscheduled downtime. Caterpillar Identification #(s) Attached to July 30, 1988 Service Letter Rework Procedure 1. Disassemble the clutch and remove all grease from the bearing cavities and the bearings. Inspect the bearings and replace if necessary. 2. Assemble the main shaft and bearings in the clutch housing without grease. 3. Tighten the bearing adjusting nut while rotating the shaft until it takes 60 in lb to rotate the shaft. 4. Loosen the adjusting nut four notches plus up to one additional notch if necessary to align a notch with the lock plate bolt. Mark the position of the adjusting nut. This will provide bearing end play of .010-.012". 5. Disassemble the main shaft from the clutch housing and handpack the bearings with approximately four ounces (1/4 of a grease cartridge) of 2S3230 High Temperature Grease or an equivalent. The grease cavity SHOULD NOT BE PUMPED FULL OF GREASE either before or after the clutch is installed. 6. Assemble the clutch and
