Description of Change: An improved pivot shaft is now used on certain D6T Series LGP (non-VPAT) machines. The pivot shaft has a downward camber in order to minimize the effects of thrust bias wear.

Cambered pivot shafts should ONLY be installed on machines that have experienced thrust bias wear related failures when NEW track chain and rollers are installed.

Adaptable To: The improved pivot shafts are adaptable to the machines that are listed above.

The improved pivot shaft is effective with the following machines:

D6T KJL984-UP
D6T LKJ404-UP
