DIFF-0017
Rear Axle Differential & Carrier Assembly
DIFF-0017 is a differential and carrier assembly identified for the rear axle of the FL04 underground loader. It transfers drive through planetary gears to the two half shafts, allowing the wheels to turn at different speeds.

Check the current technical sheet against the configuration in the quotation. Dimensions, interfaces and operating requirements should be confirmed before planning the installation.
Identify the rear axle assembly before ordering
DIFF-0017 is the rear axle differential and carrier assembly identified in the FL04 loader reference. The part number is 5541 5291 00. Record both identifiers when requesting a replacement; a description such as ‘loader differential’ leaves the axle position and assembly version unresolved.
The source describes planetary gears, a carrier and half-shaft gears transferring input drive to the left and right half shafts. That description explains the assembly's function, but it does not supply a dimensional interchangeability drawing. A matching photograph is not enough to establish a replacement part.
Documented construction and equipment
Drive enters through the transmission shaft and turns the planetary carrier. Planetary gears then transmit movement to the left and right half shafts. During a turn, the inside wheel slows relative to the outside wheel.
What to send for a component match
Send the loader model and serial details, the axle identification, the old part reference and clear photographs of the removed assembly and its connections. If you have an original parts drawing, identify the assembly on that drawing. Measurements and connection details are useful where a tag is missing or unreadable.
State whether you need the complete differential and carrier or an individual internal component. The available document describes an assembly; it does not establish that every internal gear is offered separately. Ask for the scope of supply in the quotation.
Keep front and rear axle inquiries separate
The catalogue also contains DIFF-0018 for the front axle, with a different part number and a NO SPIN description. Do not substitute that listing for the rear assembly based on similar appearance. Keep the intended axle position in the inquiry subject and on the purchase specification.
The supplied material does not establish a gear ratio, material grade, warranty or compatibility across other loader models. If any of these details is needed for your repair decision, request it before ordering. Fitment and the installation procedure should be checked by the personnel responsible for the machine.
Selection questions
What should I include in a component inquiry?
Send the machine model, axle position, existing part number and photographs of the identification marks. Include any available installation drawing.
Which technical details need confirmation?
Confirm the part reference, axle position and installation dimensions against the existing assembly before ordering. Appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
How do I request the selected configuration?
Send the model or series reference and your project requirements through the inquiry link. Include drawings or the existing equipment reference where available.
Can the same assembly be used on the front axle?
The documentation assigns DIFF-0017 to the rear axle. The front listing is DIFF-0018, reference 5541 5290 00. Treat them as distinct parts and verify the intended axle and machine before ordering.
