Re: (ET) Seem to have lost speed 3 on New Idea 150

[Dean Stuckmann <dstuck lakefield net>]

Pretty sure it should have 7 F and 3 R...

Maybe its 2nd that dropped instead of 3rd. Just trying to judge it by how far I have to move the lever to have it change speeds...

Thanx

   How many traction motor speeds is this tractor supposed to have ? I've never seen any NI tractors here in Western Pennsylvania.

Hi,
I think I dropped speed 3. 
There are only 2 speeds in reverse as well.
It will go into the higher speeds (but still seems to skip 3) if the load is small, but its reluctant to go faster when blowing snow.
Power pulse button does not want to work either.

I have the Service manual for GE but I don't know if the 150 is the same as  any of the GE models. Maybe a E-16???

Any help is appreciated.
Happy Holidays.
Dean
