Just make sure the brakes work for stopping because even in gear there is no engine braking. If you put it in gear it would be like towing a car with an auto trany. [Reply]  [No Email]

Most maintenance in keeping the filter clean and full up with hydralic clean fluid. It uses CASE TCH or high quality tractor fluid. The system is simple, it is a torque converter in front of a standard transmission. There is no dry clutch. The clutch pedal is a valve that directs or interrupts (dumps) oil flow to the torque converter. Once in motion there is a lock-up for the torque converter which gives you direct drive.

The clutch valve dumps pressure and releases a clutch-pack that is inbetween the torque converter and the transmission. The direct drive is engaged by the lever to the left of the steering column and via hyd pressure and a cylinder engages a clutch locking the torque converter so there is no slippage and is therefore more efficient. Pretty good transmission systems and you'll love once you get to use it but there are some problems. Plugged filters, warped clutch packs, worn clutches, bad seals (lets hyd pressure leak off), bad pump ect. Good luck [Reply]  [No Email]

Ya if for say loading it and say less then a 1/4 mile go for it. Me I would make it run where it sits and do it that way. BTDT with one like that and was told it would not go forward and I drove it on the trailer [Reply]  [No Email]
