Re: (ET) getting into high gear



        Yep. Hard to believe but true. <VBG> On earlier units it was a raised lettered plastic plate that surrounded the shift lever hole in the footplate.On later units it was replaced with a more cost effective but less durable sticker.

It contained words to the effect.......

"To facilitate gear shifting,place the gear shift in Neutral, and turn the traction motor On then Off.Quickly move the shift lever to the desired position."

     Personally I prefer to just rock the tractor back and forth with my overly upholstered body while in the seat while exerting just enough pressure on the gear shift to feed the mating surfaces together.There are some situations however where this method is neither prudent or possible. :) Like on a steep incline.
