TA link

Posted by Gatz on September 25, 2005 at 19:51:32 from (64.12.117.13):

I'm an AC person, but have a question for IH fans.
Today I went to a tractor show near Omaha and was asking som people about the short link that goes from the main clutch bellcrank to the TA bellcrank on the left side of the torque tube. This was on a 450, but I think it's common to a lot of 50' and 60's IH tractors.
(I used to run an anhydrous applicator behind a 560D for my cousin in the mid 60's)
The link is about 8" long and has a yoke on either end. The end that goes to the TA bellcrank is slotted to allow some free movement.
It was obvious that when in under-drive, the link came into play when the foot clutch was used.
However, in direct drive, the link didn't do anything because of the slotted end.
One person said that the purpose was to allow easier shifting of the main transmission by releasing some of the load on the gear train. (?)
Another guy said that if the link was not adjusted right, it would be very difficult to get the main transmission out of whatever gear you had it in.
Everyone agreed that the adjustment was crucial.
Can anyone shed anymore light on this subject?
Are the explanations that I was given close ?

Thanks in advance.
Gatz
