Drive gear 151.37.111 Z=23is used in the gearbox of HTZ wheeled tractors, including models T-150, T-156, HTZ-17221, 17021, 243K and their modifications. It is part of the gearbox input shaft (catalog number 150.37.104-4) and is responsible for engaging first gear. When this gear is engaged, the gear transfers torque from the engine to the transmission output shaft, providing maximum possible low-speed traction—especially important when starting, plowing, towing, or other heavy-duty applications.
Gear 151.37.111 has 23 straight teeth and works in constant mesh with a pair of driven gears. In the gearbox design, it is located next to the spacer sleeve 150.37.113 and the second gear gear 151.37.220-2. This placement ensures correct fixation of parts on the shaft and precise engagement when shifting gears.
The part is made of alloy steel with heat treatment, due to which it has high strength, wear resistance and can withstand significant dynamic loads. When the teeth wear out, jerks during shifting, increased noise and loss of traction are possible - therefore, timely replacement of the first gear gear is extremely important for stable and reliable operation of the gearbox.
Gear 151.37.111 is not used in HTZ tracked tractors, which use a different type of transmission. Installing an original part allows you to restore full operation of the first gear and guarantees a service life that meets the requirements of the manufacturer.
