(ET) Gear pops

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I usually plow snow in D1 gear.  We have a fair bit of it right now (snow, 
I 
mean); nothing like NY but still enough that I actually (finally) had to 
get 
the tractor out. 

The white stuff is pretty heavy and wet, and takes a lot of effort to 
shove 
around.  Every now and then, when I was pushing a lot of snow, the 
transaxle 
would pop out of D1.  (Good thing that's not a series motor, or I would 
have 
scattered commutator bars all over the driveway.)  I could hold it in gear 
by hand, but what a nuisance.  

I guess this is one of those things that I should know, but don't.  What 
causes this?  How do I fix it?

Thanks.
