I just drained the power director and hydraulic fluid. Power director - also took off small drain pan to clean (bottom of pan was nasty) - fluid was just like chocolate milk, that probably isn't good. Going to refill now with Rural King Transmission/Hydraulic oil. Hydraulic fluid - this drain had a magnet on the drain plug and it was covered in metal goo/particles but fluid didn't seem too bad but still filling with new. I stuck my finger up and scrapped the bottom of the pan and it came out black, should I try to remove this cover also? Seems like the rod connected to the snap coupler is under a lot of tension so I am wondering if I should attempt it. (seems like I should be able to measure the location of threaded rod that his hooked to the pan I want to take off and loosen things up to get that rod off)?? Thanks, Matt |

| Move TB lever to top notch, then loosen the nuts on linkage. When you go back, adjust nuts until you feel spring pressure at the last two notches. MACK |

Thanks Mack, I have never used my TB lever (or my tractor for that matter yet) but I get resistance about 1/2 way up the quadrant as it was before I took the cover off. Should readjust like you say, just tension at the top of the quadrant or the last 2 notches? (actually the very last 2 notches at the top of the quadrant I can't push the lever up that high, hard stop. Got it off! Can I use rubber/cork gasket on both covers when I put them back on? The one I just took off looks really thin and fiberous.
