SYNCHROSHUTTLE TRANSMISSIONS (F8, R8) TYPE
Three shift levers are used to select ground travel
speed and direction through different gear reductions
within the drive train. Forward and reverse travel di-
rections are also possible in all gear selections.
IMPORTANT: All range and gear change selections
require complete disengagement of
main clutch (depressing pedal).
Forward/Reverse Lever
FIG. 4-23:
Forward or reverse travel is selected by the
lever (1) on the steering column.
(A) Forward
(B) Neutral
(C) Reverse
Moving the synchroshuttle lever, 1, forward will select
forward travel. Moving the lever rearward will select
reverse travel. Reverse travel speed is slightly slower
than forward travel in the same gear speed selection.
A new travel direction should be selected whenever
the tractor is stopped.
CAUTION: Reduce engine speed before
changing travel direction. Tractors with
synchroshuttle require complete dis-
engagement of main clutch (depressed
clutch pedal) before changing shuttle
lever position.
Range And Gear Shift Levers
FIG. 4-24:
The range shift lever and gear shift lever
are located to the left of the operator’s seat.

changes within each range, from first through fourth
gear positions.
The range shift lever, 2, provides two speed ranges,
high and low.
FIG. 4-25:
In total eight forward and eight reverse
gear speeds are possible. The constant-mesh gears
allow the gear shift lever, 3, and range shift lever to
be changed with the tractor completely stopped (with
main clutch pedal and brake pedal depressed).
When you select the cleeper speed type transmission,
it is possible to select forward, 12, reverse, 12, speed.
