460 TA problems

[jdp8402]

When I'm driving my 460 in road gear I notice the tractor starting to slow down. If I push the ta lever forward with my left foot I can feel the tractor start to speed up. Is there adjustment for this or is the ta starting to go out? It's not real convenient to hold the lever with my foot.

Thanks,
Jeff

There is an adjustment procedure for the TA linkage, although yours sounds fairly weak. You could try adjusting it and see if it helps. I don't have my manual on me, but can try to get it for you when I get home.

That would be great if you could do that for me. I haven't got a repair manual yet.

Try taking the pins out on each end of the t/a operating shaft, it's the cross shaft with a hole on each end and the one t/a operating handle rod goes to. If it doesn't slow down trying it like that adjusting may help. Release bearing has no free play between t/a pressure plate fingers if that's the results of trying without pins. If no change it probably needs the t/a clutch repaired.
