D 17 high low

[Rod Dorn]

I have D 17 that does not want stop when the side high low clutch is in the nuetral postion. Is there any adjustments that can be made.

Rod,

That is normal for a D-17 especially before the oil warms up. The cold oil has enough friction to allow the clutch to keep turning the gears. You should be able to apply the brake and stop the tractor with no problem.

Pretty much the nature of the beast. I will be baling hay with one in an hour or so and it always does that till I'm about 1/2 way done with the baling

It is normal when cold. If you did have to make any adjustment I think it has to be done by moving shims around in the 2-speed clutch stack. You don't need to break the tractor in half or anything to do that, but you would sure want to have a manual.

Ditto, cold oil. Work her and get her warmed up and no more problem.
