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.
