Summary
The contents of this guideline includes component reusability and some salvage procedures. Most of this
guideline gives visual examples of parts that fall into the "Use again" or "Do not use again" categories. Subjects
requiring more lengthy salvage procedures are contained in other published guidelines. These guidelines are listed
in the "References" section.

Replacement of individual ring, planet, or sun gears in a planetary set is acceptable. It is recomended that all of
the planet gears be replaced together if the new gears have the same package date. Otherwise, individual gears
can be replaced.
When used in the same application, parts that meet the "Use again" specifications in this and other guidelines can
be expected to give normal performance until the next overhaul. Never install a part that this guideline shows
cannot be used again. During reconditioning, correct any conditions that might be caused the original failure.

Gear nomenclature.
Nomenclature
Crown: Slight convex outline of a gear tooth viewed from the top (see Illustration 8). The slightly rounded shape
of the tooth crown compensates for minor gear tooth misalignment by avoiding load concentration on the ends of
the teeth.
Profile: Shape or outline of the tooth as seen from the side of the tooth.
Pitch Line: The tooth location between the HPSTC and the LPSTC where there is no sliding action between
the two mating gear teeth surfaces.
Rolling/Sliding Action: When two mating gears rotate, the teeth go through a combined rolling/sliding action
(see Illustration 9).

Rolling/Sliding action.
Rolling/Sliding Action
The rolling/sliding action takes place when two teeth begin to make contact. As the teeth engage, the sliding
action stops at the operating pitch line. The rolling action continues until the tip of the drive gear tooth and the
root of the driven gear begin to make contact. At this time, sliding/rolling action resumes and the cycle begins
again (see Illustration 9).
Sliding action, plus the load placed between two teeth, is the basic operational cause of surface damage, such as
scoring, on gear teeth. Sliding action is greatest near the tooth tip and root. These areas must be inspected for
scoring and other types of surface damage.
Sliding under a high load can also cause pitting. The areas of greatest stress caused by sliding are the LPSTC of
the sun gear and the HPSTC of the planet and ring gears. These areas need careful inspection for pitting.
Pitting is a type of surface or subsurface fatigue failure of a gear tooth. Pitting is usually the result of high contact
stresses and the rolling/sliding action of two gear teeth. A pit begins as a minute crack, less the 0.13 mm (0.005
inch)deep, which causes a small amount of metal to separate from the surface of the gear tooth. This separation
then appears as a pit. There are two types of pitting: initial and destructive.
Destructive pitting usually occurs after a long period of operation and high contact stresses. Inadequate
lubrication can also cause destructive pitting. Destructive pitting can progress rapidly into either spalling, or
complete disintegration of the tooth. Each pit acts as a point of stress concentration which accelerates pit
formation until the tooth fractures.
Pitting, if not corrected, can progress into spalling (see the section on "Spalling" for additional information).

Initial Pitting
If ridges or high spots are present in high load areas, surface cracks and surface pits may begin to develop. Such
pits are generally less than 0.7 mm (.03 inch)in diameter and tend to distribute the load by progressively
removing the high contact areas. When the load is more evenly distributed, pitting slows, and the surface begins
to polish. This is called "initial pitting: or "Corrective Pitting". Illustrations 11 through 19 show initial pitting.

Crack in tooth initiated from destructive pitting.
Spalling
Spalling is a type of subsurface fatigue failure. Spalling usually begins with a small fatigue crack under the surface
of the gear tooth. The tooth surface is then weakened and metal flakes away from the tooth face. Once spalling
begins, the damage can progress quickly to gear tooth fracture.
Note: Note: While spalling is often the final stage of pitting, each can occur separately.
Abrasive Wear
Abrasive wear on gear teeth is caused by small foreign particles, such as dirt or metal, in the lubrication system.
These small particles act as a lapping compound during machine operation and wear down the gear tooth
surface.
During the early stage of abrasive wear, the gear teeth will have a satiny, not shiny, appearance. The next stage
of abrasive wear results in the appearance of flat spots on the gear tooth profile and a reduction of the tooth
crown. The advanced stage of abrasive wear results in deep grooves appearing on both sides of the gear tooth
pitch line. Abrasive wear of the gear teeth is accompanied by wear on all transmission components, including
bearing needles, cages, and races.
Note: Note: If abrasive wear is found in the gear train, correct the source of contamination.

Illustration 36 g02336036
Advanced abrasive wear around the gear tooth pitch line. Notice that the tooth profile is altered because of the advanced
wear.
After cleaning the gear, carefully inspect every tooth completely for cracks, pitting, spalling, or any surface
damage. This inspection may be accomplished using a magnifying glass and a strong light source (sunlight is
best).It may be difficult to distinguish between small scratches and cracks. Magnetic particle, or dye penetrant
may be also used to ensure that the gear is reusable.
NOTICE
It is important to inspect every tooth of each gear. It is possible for only
one tooth to be damaged. If a gear is used again after falling within the
"Do not use again" criteria, failure may result in damage to other
transmission components.
Planet Gears
Teeth
Some planet gears may have wear or damage on only one side (face) of the teeth. Do not turn the gears around
https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisweb/mediasearch/mediaheaderinfoframeset.jsp&calledpage=/sisweb/… 24/37

to present new wear surface if the gear does not meet "Use again" criteria. Planet gears are idler gears. During
each revolution there is equal tooth loading in both directions on every tooth. This tooth loading causes a planet
gear to be unusable if wear or damage on only one side (face) of the teeth meets the "Do not use again" criteria.
Cracks
No cracks or any amount of pitting and/or spalling are acceptable on planet gear teeth. If any evidence of
cracks, pitting or spalling is visible, do not use again.
Note: Note: What appear to be small cracks may only be hob (gear cutter) marks. Inspect the gear carefully
using Illustrations 37 and 38 for reference.
It is common for shaving marks or machining marks to polish away without development of surface pits. Load
carrying surfaces may become polished until they are mirror-like as seen in Illustration 39.
Illustration 37 g02336137
Machining marks may appear to be cracks.

What appears to be several cracks on the planet gear tooth are actually hob marks.
Frosting
Illustration 39 g02336196
Surfaces of planet gear teeth have become frosted. Small pits are forming in the frosted area.
Frosting can also appear as thin surface layers of the tooth missing in bigger areas. This condition occurs when a
rough surface or tiny projections from the surface make contact and microweld. The surface metal then either
pulls out or fractures on a small scale. This results in a gray matte appearance which is not detrimental at this
stage. However, if the conditions causing "frosting" are not corrected, destructive pitting may begin. See
Illustration 40.

Planet gear teeth with small nicks may be reusable, but only if the nick can be removed with a 6V-2010 Polishing
Stone .
Indentations can result in case cracking and can result in tooth failure and result in damage to the transmission
components.
Excessive Wear
Excessive wear can cause an increased noise level and accelerates the tendency for tooth surface pitting and
spalling.
To test for excessive wear on planet gears, except those that are listed below, place a straight edge across a gear
tooth. If there is not excessive wear, the straight edge can be rocked against the tooth crown as shown in
Illustration 43. Do not use gears that show excessive wear.
Note: Note: The amount of crown is small, only 0.020 to 0.150 mm (0.0008 to 0.0059 inch). Most
measurements fall into the 0.025 to 0.030 mm (0.0010 to 0.0012 inch)range. Therefore, the amount of rocking
will be slight.

Place a straight edge along the pitch line of a crowned gear tooth. If the straight edge can be rocked, the amount of wear if
NOT excessive.
Bearing bores with excessive wear will not adequately guide the bearing cage and could result in premature
bearing failure.
The length of the bearing needles is not precisely controlled. If a bearing with long needles is installed in a gear
with a wear step created by shorter needles, this could result in premature bearing failure.
To determine the amount of wear on the bearing bore, use a dial bore gauge to measure both a portion of the
bore showing the most wear, and an unworn portion of the bore. Subtract the two measurements. No more than
0.013 mm (0.0005 inches) is permitted.
Note: Note: Gears with bore wear exceeding the maximum amount permitted may be sectioned and used as a
guide to compare with wear on other gears.
Use the following illustrations as aids to determine whether planet gear bearing bores fall within the "Do not use
again" criteria.

Excessive wear in the bearing path caused by cage contact with the bore.
Illustration 47 g02343136
Severe wear to bearing bore caused by bearing cage. Wear will not allow the bearing bore to guide a new bearing correctly
and will cause premature failure.
Rust
Gears with light rust on the bearing bore can be used again if the rust can be removed by light polishing with

crocus cloth and oil. Gears showing heavy rust cannot be used again because the rust will create pits.
Illustration 48 g02343161
Water inside the transmission caused excessive rust on the planet gear bearing bore.
Foreign Material
Foreign material, usually the result of another failure, can result in bearing bore indentations and pitting. Dents in
the bearing bore can greatly reduce the bearing contact area and/or create cracks in the surface, resulting in
substantially shortened bearing life.

Excessive amount of damage to the planet gear bearing bore due to foreign material.
Thrust Faces
Scratches
Light, circumferential scratches may be acceptable, but only if they do not catch a piece of tag wire or paper
passed across the top of the scratched surface. Use a 6V-2010 Polishing Stone to remove any radial scratches
or small nicks.
Wear
Gears with more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) thrust face wear cannot be used again. To measure the amount of
wear, place the gear on a surface plate. Measure the wear step with a dial indicator at several locations across
the worn area, following the wear path from the inside to the outside. Wear must be even across the wear path.

Planet gear thrust face.
Newer, green, dark gray/black, or light brown thrust washers can be used again if they are not chipped,
cracked, burned, melted, grooved, or worn. Do not reuse the older, tan color washers.

Frosting is a condition caused by inadequate oil film between mating gear teeth surfaces. It appears as a cloudy
area on the gear contact surface and is sometimes accompanied by small surface pits.
Gears with frosting can be used again provided any surface pits are small enough that they do not catch a piece
of tag wire passed along the frosted surface. Frosting accompanied by any pit that does catch a tag wire is
unacceptable and the gear should not be used again.
Frosting is different in appearance than abrasive wear or light surface rust. Abrasive wear, due to foreign
material, usually covers the entire tooth face contact surface and has a more satiny, shiny appearance.
Abrasive wear will usually appear on all gears and other transmission components. Light surface rust or
corrosion can produce a mottled appearance, which has an irregular outline.
Note: If abrasive wear is found in the gear train, correct the source of contamination. Light surface rust or
corrosion can produce a frosted appearance, but usually is of irregular shape. Gears with this type of condition
can be reused if there are no pits or other defects.
Illustration 51 g02343296
Surfaces of the sun gear teeth have become frosted and small pits have formed in the frosted area.
Ring Gears
Reusability of ring gears depends on the amount of damage or wear. Some damaged clutch ring gears obviously
cannot be used again. Other gears, with certain limitations, can be used again. Some clutch ring gears can be
reused without limitations, depending upon the location and degree of damage.

Check spool and bore for excessive wear, such as spalling, pitting, and cracking. If excessive wear is present, do
not use again. No scratches are acceptable in the bores. The metering edges of spools and bodies must be sharp
and not rounded by erosion.
Springs
No rust or pitting are acceptable on valve springs. check free length of valve spring and loaded length. Refer to
the appropriate Service manual for specifications.
Cases
Check for cracks and blocked oil passages. check pilot diameters and mounting faces for excessive wear or
fretting. Check dowel pin bores for wear and cracks. If any of the above conditions are found, do not use again.
