Adjusted the TA linkage on the 986 today by the book - so the snap ring just barely contacts the MCV in DD. The problem was, after that, in TA there was only about 15/16" of valve spool exposed, not the 1 1/8" the book calls for. So I took the tractor for a spin- when shifted into DD, it engaged with a thump (like it should), but when shifted into TA, it freewheeled. I found that at this point, I could reach down with the floor panel removed and manually lift the selector valve, and the TA lockup clutch would catch. After talking with the mechanic, I adjusted the linkage to achieve the 1 1/8" measurement in TA, which means the snap ring doesn't contact the MCV in DD. But it seemed to work properly on the test drive. Shifting into either DD or TA, I can feel the corresponding clutch solidly engage. Is the tractor now safe to use without damage to the TA clutches? Should I measure operating pressures to make sure? If so, how would I do that? btw it's a mechanical diode TA, less than 100 hours on it.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
