    Posted: 30 Oct 2022 at 2:26pm
Am going to look at a D15 that has a power director that pops out of high range.  What is the fix for that and how extensive would it be in labor and expense?  Seems I've read something about adding shims?  Also, I'm told the clutch sticks and is slow to engage at times due to a mouse nest having been in there and apparently there is corrosion causing the problem.  Can this be resolved by spraying penetrating fluid in and working the clutch or does the tractor need to be split and clutch rebuilt?  Thanks, Dave

Power Director: Could be as easy as tightening the locking bolt on the hi-lo stick Or moving a couple "stop washers" on the stick (both 5 min tasks).

Spraying penetrating fluid into the clutch housing is not a great idea.  IF you are planning on keeping and using the tractor, do a split and see how bad things are in there. At least you could then assess where the penetrating fluid needs to go.  Good opportunity to inspect the ring gear and check the rear main seal for any leaks.

For the power director, I agree with Stan.  IF moving washers doesn't work, you can do another split and go through it.  With the service manual, they are pretty straight forward to go through.  I currently have the one out of my D17 IV diesel.

Shimming is used to make up for wear on the clutch discs and plates. It is NOT a fix for lever jump out. Changing shims to something they shouldn't be will usually make your problem even worse.
