2.       Repairs
For servicing and repair procedures on the drive
tube assembly see TI 32.2006.
Identifying features:
The new drive tube assembly for the HT 75 can be
identified from the previous version by the
appearance of the drive shaft at the engine end.
-     Previous drive tube assembly: the square drive
      shaft with external splines is visible.
                                                                                                                   246TI007 KN

-     New drive tube: the square end of the drive shaft
      and the flexible liner are visible.

                                                               Left: Previous drive tube 4138 710 7103
                                                               Right: New drive tube 4182 710 7110

                                                                                               TI_42_2007_30_01_01.fm

The previous drive tube assembly for the HT 75
requires an alignment hole for installation into the
engine. For this reason the new drive tube assembly
for the HT 131 will also incorporate an installation
hole (see arrow in illustration).
