Fantuzzi CS 45 KM: what is the minimum thickness of the optional steering-axle brake discs?
20 mm, according to the 2013 maintenance manual of the CS 45 KM, as logged by the HIT SRL technical desk. The manual says the optional brake discs on the steering-axle hubs must never go below this thickness, that no more than 2 mm per side may be removed when re-machining them, and that radial and continuous cracks are not acceptable, as recorded at HIT SRL. The steering axle section of the manual sets a check of these brakes every 200 working hours.

Fantuzzi CS 45 S: which transmission and drive axle does the handbook describe?
According to the CS 45 S handbook, published by Officine Meccaniche Fantuzzi S.p.A., the machine has a Clark 34000 powershift transmission with inching and four forward and four reverse gears, as HIT SRL's technical desk reads it. The same handbook gives a drive axle built by Officine Meccaniche Fantuzzi with oil-bath disc brakes and epicyclic hubs, and a Danfoss servo-assisted steering unit with Orbitrol distributor, as logged by the HIT SRL technical desk. These data appear in general-features pages headed CS 42, so their attribution to the CS 45 S is uncertain; they concern only the generation before the KM, KC, KS, KL and KE, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.
