Claim 12:
13. A method for setting bearings comprising the steps of:
setting a bearing set on a shaft of a transmission for an agricultural tractor;
positioning an inertia wheel on the shaft;
rotating the inertia wheel;
measuring a first time value at a first rotational speed;
measuring a second time value at a second rotational speed, the second rotational speed being less than the first rotational speed;
adjusting the bearing setting if the change in rotational speed is outside a predetermined rotational speed range, the predetermined rotational speed range having an upper limit and a lower limit, wherein if the change in rotational speed is above the upper limit the bearing set is in end play, if the change in rotational speed is within the predetermined rotational speed range, the bearing set is in appropriate preload, and if the change in rotational speed is below the lower limit, the bearing set is too tight.
