Operating Co-op E3

Thanks for your reply. My tractor has the long lever behind my right foot. When you mentioned drift does that mean the PTO shaft might turn slowly even when it is not engaged and the tractor is running or after you disengage the PTO it may spin for a little while until the momentum is out? Do I have to depress the clutch before I would move the long level to engage and disengage the PTO? Am I correct in guessing that when the long lever is down or flat that the PTO is not engaged and when the lever is in the up postion that the PTO is engaged?

When the lever to the rear of the belt pulley with the two settings for the transmission is in the back position for low range, am I correct in assuming that 4th gear in this low position is lower than 1st gear when the lever would be in the front postion for high range?

Thanks again for your time answering my questions. It is a big help.

Do you know of a good place to get parts for the Coop or from what I understand a Cockshutt 30 is the same tractor? I could use a new rubber dust cover for the bottom of the gear shift lever.

Thanks

John

We have an AGCO dealer about 2 miles from our house. I will check to see if they have it. What tractor lines do you have parts for?

Thanks John

Thanks for your great replys they were a real help!

Have a great day.

I've got one of those. On mine the it has the independent PTO the lever to engage it comes out of
the PTO housing on the back of the tractor. BUT
believe it or not, there was a PTO on cockshutt
tractors that wasn't independent. My son has one.
When you start it up, just ease the lever in if it grinds the gears don't force it, push the foot
clutch in. With the independent pto it is just clutches engaging no noise. Most Cockshutt/ CO OP
tractors are IPTO. To check the other lever, with the tractor not
running, try turning the Pulley by hand with the
lever in each of the two positions. If it turns
in one position but not the other, it is to engage
the pulley. My tractor doesnt have a pulley or a two speed transmission but it does have IPTO.

What engine do you have in your tractors.

All Cockshutt 30, CO-OP E3 , Gambles Farmcrest 30 and there was another sold in Canade were the same tractor. All had the 4B153 gas engine. Diesel and other engines came out later for these
tractors. I know the CO-OP E3 had a nose strip that said
CO-OP, the Cockshutt said Cockshutt, but I don't
know about the Gambles. Check the link for Cockshutt info. The picture
is my son's Cockshutt 50 plowing last spring.
