When shredding or running the pto on a D15 or D17, when the hand clutch is in neutral to achieve live pto, is it possible to shift the gears; say from reverse to 1st, or vise-a-versa?

The gears in the transmission are stopped when the Power Director (hand) clutch is in neutral and the tractor is not moving, PTO running or not. There is some pull on the gears due to the drag in the PD clutches and if you stop between gears the transmission will start turning and you will have to clutch it and let things come to a stop before shifting. We pulled a pulltype combine for 10 years with a D-15 and shifted gears without hitting the foot clutch. You must be quick on the shift, a slow shift will grind gears every time. I am not saying that a person can do this without doing any harm, only that it can be done without immediatly damaging the transmission. If I had a D series to play with now, I would stop, shift gears with the foot clutch and go onward, not being in any hurry plus transmission parts are darn expensive.

They were not made to do that, but with age and wear, they might, especially at a low throttle setting. If you insist on doing that,next year or the year after, they'll do it that much easier!

We've shifted using the power director (D14/ D15 / D17 / 190XT / 200) and hand clutch (Wd / WD45) with the pto running an implement such as a baler or mower for years with no problems - and I mean 30 to 40 years here, not 2 or 3. Like they said, you have to shift quick!!! If it starts grinding push in the foot clutch.

Our AC dealer showed us how to shift like that some years ago. Once you get the knack it's no big deal, but you still miss it once in a while. The hard shift for me using the power director was (and still is) 2nd to reverse on the D14 / D15 tractors. You can do it but you can't hesitate...
