That is a Power-Director release. If you hit a big rock or root with a plow or whatever it will kick the PD into neutral.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

yup, Paul B is right ! I have one 'on the shelf, somewhere', came off 'Troy'. Only rocks that hurt me are the softball sized ones the rototiller finds.....

Has nothing to do with the snap coupler. It mounts to the hand clutch.

You can see in your picture one end of the rod is attached to the PD Lever.
What is the mechanism the other end of the rod is attached to, and how does it work?

Its attached to the traction booster spring, in the bell coupler. Idea is to stop the forward motion instead of allowing the TB to transfer weight. Gives you the option of lifting the plow to test the size of the rock, or to lift, as you reverse out of the situation...

I guess that my grade is a D- in mechanical aptitude...my picture shows the kick out in stow position and the later picture is in operating position... still do not know how it kicks out in both PD positions...Mark

If I remember right my dad said it only worked to kick it out of high range. Sort of like the clutch release on the WD. Had one hanging in the shop years ago.

The linkage clamps to the Power Director lever when you need to use the kick out feature. Mine works great in both low and high range when I use the #4 subsoiler on the D14.
