Traction Circuit: Hi Speed (2WD)
The traction circuit piston pump is a variable displace-
ment pump  that is directly  coupled to  the engine fly-
wheel. Pushing the traction pedal engages a hydraulic
servo valve  which controls the  variable displacement
piston pump swash plate to create a flow of oil. This oil
isdirectedtothefrontwheelandrearaxlemotors.Oper-
ating pressure on the high pressure side of the closed
traction circuit loop is determined by the amount of load
developedatthefixeddisplacementwheelandaxlemo-
tors.  As the  load increases,  circuit  pressure can  in-
crease to  relief valve settings:  4000 PSI (274  bar) in
forward and 5000 PSI (343 bar) in reverse. If pressure
exceeds the relief setting,  oil flows through the piston
pump relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed
loop traction circuit. The traction circuit provides opera-
tion in either Hi speed (2WD) or Low speed (4WD).
Forward Direction
With the Hi/Low speed switch in the Hi speed position
(2WD),
solenoidvalve(SV)inthe4WDmanifold    isener-
gized. The solenoid valve spool shifts to direct charge
pressure  that shifts  the PD1  and  PD2 control  valve
spools. The shifted PD1 valve prevents piston pump hy-
draulic flow from reaching the rear axle motor. With flow
blocked to the rear axle motor, all traction pump flow is
directedtothefrontwheelmotorstoallowahighertrans-
port speed in the forward direction.
Without flow  to the  rear axle motor,  the rotating  rear
wheels drive the axle motor so it acts like a pump. Inlet
oil to the axle motor is provided by a check valve that al-
lows charge circuit oil into the rear axle motor circuit. Oil
leaving the axle motor enters the 4WD manifold at port
M2 and is directed back to the axle motor  through the
shifted PD1 cartridge and manifold port M1. To allow for
rear wheel loop cooling when  in forward transport op-
eration, a small amount of oil exits through the shifted
PD1 and PD2  cartridges that returns to  the reservoir.
This oil loss is replaced by charge circuit oil.
Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be
measured at test ports in hydraulic tubes. The forward
traction port is on the left side of the machine and the re-
verse traction port is on the right side of the machine.
The  traction  circuit  pump  and  motors  use  a  small
amount of hydraulic fluid for internal lubrication. Fluid is
designed to leak across traction pump and motor com-
ponents into the case drain. This leakage results in the
lossofhydraulicfluidfromtheclosedlooptractioncircuit
that must be replaced. The charge circuit is designed to
replace this traction circuit leakage.
A transport cylinder is included in the traction circuit to
reduce traction  control arm  movement on  the piston
pump when operating in Hi speed (2WD). This reduced
arm movement limits swash plate rotation topreventex-
cessive transport speed.
The tractionmanifold flowdivider cannotbe engaged by
the operator during Hi speed (2WD) operation.
The gear pump section that supplies oil to the steering
and lift/lower  circuits also  provides charge oil  for the
traction circuit. This gear pump is driven directly off the
tractionpump.Itprovidesaconstantsupplyofchargeoil
to the traction circuit to make up for oil that is lost due to
internal leakage in the traction pump and motors.
Reverse Direction
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in re-
verseHispeed(2WD)asitdoes    intheforwarddirection.
However, the flow through the circuit  is reversed. The
shifted solenoid valve (SV) and directional valves PD1
and PD2 in the 4WD manifold prevent oil flow to the rear
axle motor. Oil flow from the piston pump is therefore di-
rected to only the front wheel motors. This oil drives the
front wheel motors in the reverse direction and then re-
turns to the piston pump. Oil circulation through the rear
axlemotorloopisthesameasintheHispeed(2WD)for-
ward direction.
Charge pump flow is directed through the oil filter and to
the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit.
A filter bypass valve allows charge oil flow to the closed
loop if the filter becomes plugged. Charge pressure is li-
mited to 250 PSI (17 bar) by a relief valve located in the
oil filter manifold. Charge pressure can be measured at
the charge circuit pressure test port on the oil filter man-
ifold.
