| Can someone point me to the manual pages or give me some knowledge on how to make sure the power director is adjusted right? Neutral position acts a lot like low range. |

Might have a warped clutch, or a bad valve... Or linkage not centered? Lot of them have clutch drag, until they get warmed up, some have it even after getting hot, very few will have no drag when cold. Our first XT bought back in 1975 had all new parts in rearend (harden axles too), transmission, and two speed. It got used on the plow, disc and extensively on the round baler... and now going on 50 years, the tranny starting to jump out of 4th and the high range slips under heavy load. The hand clutch was awesome while the other 190 and XT would not sit still, had to use the brakes to stop them. Tried to adjust the linkage on the one and the other has problems in the clutch pack. Sure hope when the clutches get replaced in the slipping XT, that it doesn't start creeping or drag in neutral like the others do. A dragging 2 spd. clutch can be a real pain to deal with... if you put them on the round baler and need to step the foot clutch in every time you go to shift the transmission.  ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

| Warped or broken discs and plates can cause this. Bent ears on the clutch pistons can also contribute to it. Nothing you can really do from the outside. Your perception may also be a true neutral and with hydraulic oil temps less than 140 to 160 degrees, there usually isn't a good neutral. You got 9 driving discs flooded in oil causing drag and yes, it does still feel like low range. If it pulls a load in both ranges and doesn't slip, I'd do nothing. Cold oil temps are the most likely culprit. |
