I've been having trouble adjusting my separator clutch and the shifter.  I thought of way to ask a question about the operators manual. ( I think its the Op. Manual but the cover is missing) that has me confused.  If the have the book please turn to page 47, Separator Drive Clutch at the top left hand corner.  Mid. way says. " It should require approximately 60 -70 lbs force to the seperator drive lever for the operator to engage the seperator clutch".  This I can not do for some reason.  Does your machine require that much force?  I keep trying to find this sweet spot but then i think maybe it's a mistake in the book.  I've seen them before on stuff I know better.  But this machine is new to me.  Please check yours and let me know.  I have wasted hrs and hrs  trying and I'm about ready to give up.  Thanks

We adjusted them so it would snap over center briskley.  To much engagement pressure and it will bend the linkage and/or  not snap over center. Not enough pressuse and it will slip in heavy going.   HTH

I bought an E that was very difficult (almost impossible ) to get into reverse. Spent some time freeing up adjustment rods on shifter and now it shifts into all gears like a dream. Engaging separator doesn't take much effort (maybe around the 60 to 70 pounds you mentioned-certainly not a struggle to do). Sounds like yours may need some adjustment as well.

To me 60 to 70 lbs of force is a lot of force.  thats like 1/3 of your body weight.  A kid wouldn't be able to shift it.  Mine maybe only 10 lbs when it engages.  What I'm worried about is that it will slip under load.  But maybe not because once it engages it should have nothing to do with the lever anymore but I don't know.  And if that is true why would they want that much pressure to engage in the first place.  Thats why I think it maybe posted wrong in the book.  Just doesn't compute in my head.

Tighten the adjusting ring until it does get too difficult and back it off a little. Too loose and it may slip under a hard pull and then you'll get to rebuild the clutch!!!

what will happen if I gets it too tight?  If it's too tight will it cause it to not completely disengage and slip even though it is in the disengaged position?  Of course this will cause it to get hot even in neutral and try to spin everything while disengaged. If so I can just back off until it doesn't drag anymore and it should be set.  I hope thats the answer because thats where I'm at.  I want to thank you all for putting up with all these questions.  I have no one else to ask.  I need someone with experience. Been there done that kind of thing.
