TRANSMISSION LINKAGE
The transmission linkage controls the
transmission. It has four adjustments. They are
control rod length, forward stop, rear stop, and
pintle arm centering. These adjustments need no
regular checks. However, they should be checked
if any of the linkage parts is replaced or if the
transmission position is changed.
The control rod and ball joints between the
directional control pedal and the pintle arm should
be adjusted so that the full stroke of the
transmission may be obtained without
interference from anything other than the stop
bolts.
The forward stop bolt should be adjusted so that
the threaded end of the bolt is 0.06 to 0.12 in
(2 to 5 mm) from the bracket.
The rear stop bolt should be adjusted so that the
threaded end of the bolt is 1 in (25 mm) from the
bracket.
The centering springs should be adjusted so that
the pintle arm returns the transmission to the
“neutral” position without machine creeping.
