little lever on 1010
little lever on 1010
hi guys, I'm been going through my manuals that I bought from jd , I can't find what is the purpose of the little lever next to trans dipstick? it's wobblely loose I don't want turn it or really touch it until knowing the function of it . plus I'm ready to drop the trans and reverser fluids too . it's saying flush with fuel then move back an forth then drain . my ? is should I let run and heat all the fluids first then do the change, I figure more sludge will come out hot then cold . I really can run her yet ! waiting on my inj pump rebuild to come back that was $1000. to have rebuilt with updated internals plus cams. I was trying to do something while I was at a idle and had some time and the parts and fluids. I'm changing all and she does need it. I'm already balls deep in this thing and haven't really used it yet. it's got a hold on me.

Hi,
Sounds like the PTO engage/disengage lever. Even if there is no PTO output shaft on the rear of the machine, the internals are still present with the lever.

I don't have a pto but seems so loose ,what way should the lever be facing then since I won't be using it at all ? that it won't be engage while running the machine. thanks stan
Lever towards the center of the transmission is off. Won't hurt anything either way.

little lever on 1010
thanks stan, lavoy, that little lever was just sitting there on the pto shaft ,I picked it up , it wasn't doing nothing. the lever has a pin running through the top of it. I can't tell if part on the shaft is inside the lever housing. I felt the shaft going down in the trans feels flush . first sight when seen the pin in the lever head. lever just sittin there I'm thinking it's snapped off and the other part of the shaft is still inside the lever. things that make u go hmmmm! QUESTION can water get in or around the shaft ? the lever has no way to connect on the shaft. can I put a plastic or rubber cap over the pto shaft since it does have a hole in the center of the shaft and just do away with the lever ? since that baffled me I went and tackled and fixed the 4 sd shifter today. it was very sloppy. the pin was backed out shifts s so I banged it back in, it tighten up the sloppiness and greased it up. what ever I do... I'm further then I was....
Yes, you can cap it with something water proof, won't hurt a thing, just make sure you have the PTO completely engaged or disengaged.
