Differential Lock Pedal
This pedal located on the R.H. side of the Operator's Seat
when depressed by heel pressure, operates a differential
lock mechanism which locks both of the axle shafts
together.
Its purpose is to overcome completely the one-wheel slip
encountered under bad field conditions, especially when
plowing or when hauling heavy trailers on slippery surfaces.
The condition where one wheel spins completely uselessly
digging itself Into the soil while the other stands idle, is
thus overcome resulting in saving fuel, brake wear and tire
abuse.
Differential lock is designed for occasional use. Do not
attempt to lock differential while,
a. The tractor is in high speed.
b. Turning tractor.
Main and IPTO Clutch
A dual clutch assembly of 12" clutch plates each is provided
for main clutch and "Independent PTO" (IPTO) operation.
Main clutch gives drive to the transmission and is operated
by clutch pedal.
Depressing the clutch pedal fully disengages the drive to
gearbox for selection of different speeds.
The Differential Lock design is solely for the use
with pneumatic tires. If steel wheels, girdles etc
are fitted, the differential lock should be
removed as a precaution.
Attempting to turn the tractor while differential
lock is engaged may result in damage to
transmission.
