How does the Multipower transmission work? How do you select more gears. All i have been able to do is put it in L & H 1st through 3rd along with reverse. I do not have a operators manual yet, its in the mail.

Hey david and the rest of yall, I have a question posted in another topic, carrying on about the clutch and adjusting it.

I saw one strange thing when i was looking the tractor over. I had the tractor warmed up and it was running. When i checked the transmission dipstick (i'm assuming this is for the hydrolics also), it showed that it was over full and the fluid was a pasty white color. I'm not sure if water is mixed in, or is it supposed to be this color? I also need to do a full service on it, since it has never been done since it was picked up at auction last year. What filters and things do i need to look for or get. Also should i replace the transmission oil, and if so, with what fluid?

I will always have more questions. I have never adjusted a clutch or anything, but i'm not afraid to learn. I'll go out there this weekend and pull the plate off. If one of yall dont mind me calling if I have any questions please PM me your phone number. I live in the US, so I think my cell phone provider will kill my checkbook if I call wales.

Also correct me if i'm wrong but isnt a spanner just like a long box end wrench like this Link

The Multi-power is a shift on the go type booster. There is a lever on the dash on the left side, I think you asked about it in your other post. Up is high, down is low. You can shift that lever w/out clutching. Be careful in low, as there is no engine braking in low.

As far as your PTO question, it should be a 2-stage clutch, meaning that 1/2 way down should disengage the main clutch and stop the tractor from moving. All the way down will stop the PTO clutch and allow you to shift it in gear. Ground speed is the forward gear you found on the PTO shifter, and has no practical use anymore on farm equipment, unless you have an older PTO driven hay rake or some other equipment designed with ground related PTO speeds in mind.

Sounds like your clutch is out of adjustment. Search the archives here, or someone else can chime in.

Hi Tim,
As to the PTO engagement I think you will find that either the adjustment is completely out or your PTO plate is broken or worn out. If you remove the plate under the clutch housing and look inside with a flashlight you will see as you turn the engine by hand 3 adjustong bolts. I suspect that there will be no clearance between the metal plate and the bolt head. In fact it may well be this that is reducing the spring loading on the clutch plate hence the slippage you are having.
You will need 2 1/2 inch AF spanners in good condition. Slacken the locknut and screw each bolt in until you have a gap. You will require a gauge of 80 thou. An approximate equivalent is to grind the teeth off two hand hacksaw blades. These held together make approx 80 thou. Adjust the bolts until you can just insert the gauge. Nip the nuts up. You will see an adjusting clamp on the clutch pedal linkage. This should be adjusted so that you have a gap of approximately 3/8 " at the between the pedal in the fully up position and when you press it and feel the first pressure resistance.
These adjustments should give an approximate setting. Depending on the wear in the clutch assemble it may be necessary to tweak a little either way. When pressing the clutch you should feel a clear 'second stage'. At this point forward motion must have stopped. The Pto must disengage with the pedal at least one inch from end of travel. If the PTO does not disengage cut down the clearance inside.
Having the clutch adjustment correct will change the operation of the Multi Power system. When in a forward gear you will have a 'hill hold' feature which prevents the tractor running back and vice versa. It is normal to have to press the clutch pedal to the floor to chenge gear when this operates.
Please come back if you have any more questions.
