This concerns the Unimog models from 406 up to 437
For the front intermedia gearboxes of the
axles version 737 ---
the outflow of the oil is possible via the ventilation system from
the front intermedia gearbox to the axle tube and further on to the
differential.
This concerns the above mentioned axles of the Unimogs with 6-hole—rims and
axles from 406 up to 437.
This is particularly the case for longer and faster drives on motorways and the
therefore higher temperature of the oil.
The higher the speed is to be driven, the higher is the temperature of the oil
and all the more oil flows into the axle tube.
That is why the front intermedia gearboxes loose oil and get damaged.
On my Unimog after driving 1.000 km on the
motorway (90 km/h) 50 to 70% of the oil had flown to the axle tube.
When driving fast on a motorway too little oil can be in the intermedia
gearboxes already after 500-700 KM.
Which effect has the HPH-VENTILATION system with compensating reservoir?
By the now modified ventilation system the rising oil mist condenses in the
compensating reservoir
and the oil flows directly back to the intermedia gearbox and is not pressed
further into the axle tube.
In this way the loss of oil from the intermedia gearbox is minimized.
Even after 5.000 km there was only a small loss of oil
with the integrated
ventilation system with compensation reservoir.
It was less than 10% at my front intermedia gearbox in my Unimog 435.
The assembly is practicable without change.
All necessary parts are included in the mounting kid
including seals and hose clamps.
Unscrew hollow screw 3. of the original existing ventilation system (wrench size 12) and remove the ventilation tube from the hose 1. from the top. We no longer need the tube, only the hollow screw.
