I finally got a chance to sit down in the shop today and get the 7000 put back together after a bout with a water leak yesterday. I think I still have some fine adjusting to do on the inching spool, as it is slow to engage like I am riding the clutch, even if I completely dump the clutch. I adjusted everything per the manual, but the linkages have some slop that I may have been pulling against instead of pushing, like the inching spool does when it's all together, meaning it's a little on the loose side and not allowing the inching spool to completely close when the clutch is released. The shifts are much firmer and quicker for both the 1-2 and the 2-3 shifts up and the down shifts are also quicker and firmer. I won't know until it is dry enough if this fixed my leak up front and how the PTO acts (whether it kicks out or not). I did put the gauge to it and noticed that I am around 200-210 in 1st and 3rd while I am at 230ish in 2nd range from the test port on the powershift valve body. I think this may be the flyballs, as 2nd was the only clutch pack that had a flyball that sealed air from coming out of the little vent hole, where 1st and 3rd would let air come out quite a bit. But if that's all I am dealing with, I think I will hold off on tearing it down to do the powershift and PTO clutches. Thanks for all the help from everyone on here and I will keep you updated on how it works as I get to use it more with the clean valve body.
