I got to use the 656 again today. Finally finished the little bit of plowing I had to do and then tried a couple more test to see if I can figure out this freewheeling thing. I thought the oil should be good and warm after plowing.
I started down a hill until I could feel it start to speed up. I tried holding the speed ratio lever to the right as Owen suggested but it didn’t seem to make any difference (couldn’t really move it much). I pulled the lever all the way back to neutral and while it did slow down some it continued rolling to the bottom of the hill. So I got the bright idea to try the same thing in reverse this time. Different story entirely. Slowed down and sped up under complete control with the lever in reverse. Returning to neural brought it to a complete halt as long as I held the lever to the left in align with the reverse slot. If I allowed it to move to the center of the neutral slot it would break free and start rolling backwards. So it seems the problem only exist in forward.
I also tried a stall test today but not sure if I did it correctly. My tach went crazy today so I was guessing at the RPMs but think it was close to PTO speed or just slightly below. First put it in high range and held the brakes and moved the lever forward. It loaded the engine down to the point of stalling within a few seconds, which I think is good. Tried again in low range and it loaded the engine severely but didn’t stall the engine out but then again I couldn’t hold it in place with the brakes either. Does this sound right?
I got some caps to cap the two lines off up by the starter but didn’t get to try that as it started to pour rain.
Allan, Are the capsules you refer to, those two hex plugs facing me just above the battery?
