ADJUST SHIFT LEVER LINKAGE
IMPORTANT: If the shift lever and the transmission detent
are improperly aligned, the transmission may fail
prematurely. Align the shift lever and detent as carefully as
possible. The .030 in. (.8mm) clearance helps prevent
premature wear of the detent plate and shift lever.
The transmission shift lever is attached to the transmission
shift arm with two 5/16-18 bolts (Figure 12).
To adjust:
1. Stop the engine. Remove ignition key. Put PTO lever in
the "OFF" position. Put the shift lever in neutral.
2. Loosen two 5/16-18 bolts on shift lever.
3. Align the shift lever so it is centered in gear position 2
on the detent plate and is .030 in. (.8mm) from the V
(Figure 13).
NOTE: If the shift lever cannot be adjusted to tolerance with
the shift lever hardware alone, loosen the hardware holding
the detent plate to the frame and adjust the detent plate to
tolerance.
4. Tighten bolts securely.
NOTE: Before starting unit, test the shift lever to make sure
it engages all gear positions.
