The Power Director lever on my D17 does not want to keep working in low unless I hold it in. It flips back into high. Is there an adjustment to correct this and if so, how do you do it ?

When I first got my D-17 it did the same thing. I noticed that the power director lever had a push button on it with a rod going down the middle of the lever. There was nothing on the end and did notice a plate that looked like it had locking slots. So I made a little piece of metal that threaded on the end of the power director lever pushbutton that now holds the power director in either position high or low. To change positions you just push the button and move the lever and then release the button to lock the lever into position. See if you have the same thing on your lever, you may be missing the little catch like I was. Not hard to make it seems like I used about 1/2 inch round stock, even a bolt shoulder will do. Drill a hold and tap it for the threads on the push button shaft. Don't remember the thread size, it's pretty small, less than 1/4" if I remember right.

The power director uses the detent on the neutral possition only,for safety. The lever relies on proper clutch pack adjustment to (lock) the lever into high or low. I could go into more detail but as slow as I type it would take me all night to detail the process out. A service manual is the way to go on this.

That means mine probably has a problem then also. Seems like the power director is pretty hard to mess with from what I was looking at in the book I have.

Easy. Just remember when removing a shim from front or back a shim of the same size must be installed in the middle or vise versa. Use a feeler guage to measure gap between plates when clutch is not engaged. It's not as hard as it looks in the book so just read carefully and think about what you are trying to accomplish. Also might have bad rollers and ramps so might want to split tractor if shims don't do it.
