6-5 FEED RAM ASSEMBLY REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
A. Removal Feed Ram Assembly
1. If machine is equipped with a polesetter attachment, it will be necessary to remove same before
proceeding to remove the feed ram assembly.
2. Loosen the clamping bolt and nut in the lower packing nut. This nut has left hand threads and can be
removed with a chain wrench. Slide nut and lower gland off end of kelly bar. Loosen the set screw that
locks upper packing nut in place. This nut has left hand threads and may be removed with a chain wrench
even though the amount of working room is limited. Allow nut and upper gland to slide down main drive
until they rest against main drive housing. Start digger engine and very slowly actuate the kelly bar valve
handle as to apply up-pressure to the assembly. This will force both the upper packing set and the lower
packing set out into the open except for possibly the last packing in each set, which can easily be removed
by hand.
3. Disconnect all hydraulic hose connections at feed ram assembly. Remove all bolts, washers, and nuts
around base of lower support.
4. Remove capscrews and nut from shaft that secures the elevating cylinder assembly to the saddle
assembly. Remove shaft using a hammer and soft punch.
5. Remove feed ram assembly by lifting it out of headache rack and towards front of truck or backing truck
away from it, depending on type of hoist setup available. Once the kelly bar is slid partially out of main
drive brass, it may be necessary to clamp kelly bar to the barrel assembly to keep the bar from sliding out.
