Mornin'About not being able to spin the engine on a 966's hydraulic clutch/TA system: I had said that the feller had got the tractor rolling and dumped the clutch to free the stuck engine. Wrong, that 'taint what happended, my mistake. :>( Anyway, this morning at first light I head back into town. I wanted that darned receipt in my hand! :>) The shop owner happened to be in there and I asked him about his story as everyone was crawling my tree about this and saying that it just 'couldn't be true'. He said that, �No, I didn�t say I dumped the clutch; it took me a long time to figure this trick out and it ain�t got nothing to do with the clutch�. �With the engine NOT running and no oil pressure, the low side of this type of T/A is pure mechanical. High side is not though and it still takes pressure to operate the high side.� �What I did was let �er roll halfway down the truck ramp and then reached up and pulled that stick back. This forces the rotation to grab against the sprag clutch in the T/A/planetary. That will bump the engine, and like I say, it took me a long time to figure this little trick out.� That be the story, just as I was told within the past hour. Now, I gotta get to work on these pictures. :>) Allan
