Hi All,
I have been repairing a 3165s Loader in recent months.
I bought it not going,possibly in need of clutch repair.
I renewed dual clutch & ,with tractor still split,noticed that I could turn the trans mainshaft very easily from front of gearbox...with no resistance.(gear engaged)
I had noticed earlier that the H-S-L RANGE lever was very hard to move.Today I removed the lid for a look.All gears look OK,& I could easily move the 2 gear rails thru their range. The RANGE rail seems locked in "L" position.I believe this gearbox has a Planetary gearset behind the gearbox.
I have 2 questions:
1/Why can I turn the mainshaft with no resistance..should it not be under load ( wheels & are on the ground)?
2/Is there a "usual suspect" regarding my locked up RANGE lever.?
I'm not familiar with this type of gearbox,so I hope I'm making sense.
Thanks again for your ideas..
Jim
