Re: (ET) Gear pops



Take it apart, and replace the broken / worn parts. The cluster gear will have a breathtaking price.

Subject: (ET) Gear pops


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.
