ROLLER CHAIN DRIVES
All roller chain drives are tensioned by automatic spring
loaded tension blocks.
RANGE CONTROL CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
With the Range control lever set to “NEUTRAL,” the slid
-
ing splined jaw clutch should be at midspan between the
“LO” and “HI” sprocket clutch jaws on the splined gear
cluster shaft. Neither “LO” nor “HI” should be engaged.
When the lever ismoved to “LO”, the engaging jaw clutch
should mate with the “LO” range sprocket clutch and
have about 1/16" of clearance. Likewise for the “HI”
range when the lever is moved to “HI.” This engagement
is adjusted by changing the length of over-lap on the two,
slotted hole linkage bars. See Lubrication Diagram,
page 24 for location - A2.
NOTE: Pending sprocket tooth wear, the two clutch
sprockets and the sliding splined jaw clutch can be
switched from left to right and right to left on the splined
gear cluster shaft to access new wear on opposite sides
of jaw shoulders.
