Precessional corrections and stellar kinematic parameters have been derived from the proper motions of 142,171 stars in the updated version of AGK3 (AGK3U). The sky has been divided into 1332 small areas, in which mean proper motions for each component are formed for different magnitude intervals, with and without exclusion of fast stars. Solutions were performed for various kinds of the mean proper motions. Maximum-likelihood algorithm is used to take into account the ellipsoidal distribution of residual velocities. The results for precessional correction are, Δn = 0″.47 ± 0″.03 /cy, Δk = −0″.35 ± 0″.02 /cy, and the results for Oort's constants are, A = 9.5 ± 1.5 km/s/pc, B = −7.5 ± 1.5 km/s/pc.
