1988 ford 2120, shuttle shift, cable question

boatmoter · Dec 23, 2020

Hi all, Im a little confused on the clutch operation of my tractor, it has a shuttle shift and a single clutch, it has a cable from the clutch pedal to the lube valve, I have the service repair shop manual and the owners manual on it, still do not understand how the clutch operates, is the tractor supposed to stop when you push clutch pedal half way down? or is the clutch cable to lube valve for lubing the clutches when in neutral position only ?? 1 more question, is the lube valve and the dump valve the same component?? and to all a Merry & blessed Christmas

The cable is so that you can push the pedal down half way and stop the tractor from moving while leaving the clutch engaged for PTO operation. Pushing the pedal all the way down disengages the clutch which stops the PTO. Before the cable was added the only way to stop the tractor and keep the PTO turning was to move the shuttle lever to neutral.

Thanks mark.. now I know how it is supposed to work, now the problem is I can pull the cable out of the shuttle valve by hand or clutch and it keeps moving.. other than that, the trans works great, any ideas on that?

You need to check to see if the cable is moving the valve. The clutch pedal needs to have enough free play for the cable to move the valve before it disengages the clutch.

yep.. it's moving it,I have the panels off and can put my hand on the cable just where it attaches to the valve and move it manually, tractor still moves when I pull it out by hand, no difference in the travel of the tractor..
