Allis 7060 Power Shift Question

Thanks Dr. Allis,

The serive manual is interesting to read. That makes sense why the aux fuel tank has been removed now. The tractor has shown sign of tranmission work prior to buying it. 

No to my knowledge, it should just be removing the driver's side plate on the dash by the clutch to expose the linkage. Correct me if I am wrong. The service manual came today. I will look at it when I get home. 

Tenn allis……….you start all adjustments with the inching spool (.010" to .030" from clear in) and then the brake zone, which is above the inching pedal.

Wow, Thanks for all the comments. The transmission brake on the 7060 PS also engages before I hit the increased pressure zone in depressing the clutch towards the end that you are talking about. It seems like the brake got more agressive as the transmission got warmed up and was engaging before that zone.

That's a good looking 7060!  Nice picture.  I have 2 7060 Power Shifts, 1 is a red belly, and the other is a black belly.  When you push the clutch pedal down all the way you should be able to feel increased pressure toward the bottom of the travel.  That's when the transmission brake is engaged.  My black belly 7060 is much "tighter" and "smoother" when shifting.  The red belly is "looser" shifting but has always performed very well.  If the "closest" AGCO dealer was closer than 70 miles I'd probably have a mechanic come out to adjust the red belly.  Good luck in adjusting yours!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your own 7060 PS. As I said in an earlier post, I am 42 years old and always grew up with PD transmissions on the farm. I have nothing to compare the performace of Power Shift transmission to. With my Dad passing away last year, I don't have his wisdom to pull from anymore. 

Thanks for the advice on using low range when backing up :) 

I notice the shuddering more in high side. I noticed it when I pulled up to he auger to unload and went a little to far. Maybe reverse was not meant to carry any load? It does not happening when the wagon was empty. 

Thanks everyone for the comments. I am researching and learning a lot. I still can't come across a reason why the tractor (transmission) shuttered/jolted in reverse with a 200 bushel wagon. Some comments on other posts said the clutch might be warped a little, but that didn't seem to make sense because it didn't do it in any of the forward gears. 

No dry clutch in PD in 7000 & 8000 series. It uses the hyd wet clutch pack in low speed of the 2-speed PD.

15 minutes for an old AC Tech.

Interesting with the 8070 PD. We have a small 200 acre farm, so I hope bought a good tractor, and a little worried that I might have something starting with the transmission and won't be able to afford to fix it. 

The cable doesn't do anything but shift the rack for each individual speed. All the rest is done with mechanical linkage.

Thanks for the info. I am sure when the service manual comes on Thursday this will make more sense. If I need to adjust the inching spool linkage then, how much space between the spool and the lever is normal when it is all the way out. I am still wondering if I adjust the cable in (remove the slack) will that then also adjust the transmission brake also then, or is that a completely seperate adjustment?
