This is a planet kit, a critical component within the final drive or differential assembly of Volvo backhoe loaders, responsible for transmitting torque to the wheels. Manufactured to precise Volvo standards, it ensures smooth power transfer and durability, unlike worn gears that exhibit grinding or excessive play. Symptoms of a failing planet kit include grinding noises during turns, reduced drive power, or excessive heat from the axle housing.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Initial signs of a failing planet kit often include audible clicking or grinding noises when the machine is turning. If ignored, this can progress to a noticeable loss of drive power and increased heat generation from the axle. The ultimate consequence is potential axle component seizure, leading to immobilization of the equipment.
Thoroughly clean the axle housing and all mating surfaces before installing the new planet kit to prevent contamination. Ensure all thrust washers and shims are correctly oriented and seated.
Always replace the axle oil and inspect the axle seals for leaks when servicing the planet kit.
