Little story for ya:
Yesterday's project was adjust the clutch on the 806. None of the neighbors are needing my help farming, and I couldn't just sit around.
So, I looked up one of your old posts on how to adjust the clutch, TA dump valve, and transmission brake. Also consulted owner's manual for clutch free travel, and away I go. Well, all the linkages were frozen up. Figures. The threads for the adjustment of the trans. brake actually galled up and I will need to fix that before I leave work tonight. The clevis end, thankfully, cleaned up just fine after running a tap through it.
So, after cleaning up the clutch and TA dump linkage, I put them on this morning. Adjusted them to approx 7/8" free travel like book says, and set TA dump to just turn light on at full travel (pedal floor tab hitting floor) like you said previously to do. Now, I apparantly learned why those transmissions have a brake on them. I tried to shift it, and the transmission simply did not stop spinning. I did not press the issue, or shut it down and then put it in gear, because I simply did not need it today. I'll hopefully get it all squared away tomorrow morning.
Which leads me to my questions: is that normal for the transmission to "freewheel" like that? I assume so, hence the trans. brake. Older tractors don't do that, although, they don't have a brake, either. Second: Is it possible to get the trans. brake too tight? Before I started this project, I often actually had to partially let out on clutch pedal to shift gears. Couldn't do it at full extension of pedal. If that happens again to me, should I then adjust linkage so that transmission dosen't stop spinning, and then pick the mid point? Just wondering, I know that you and Owen and Pete know far more about the subjects I ask questions about. Thanks! -Andy

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
