I had just finished baling yesterday and when I pulled the TD95D into the stack yard to park the tractor. The clutch cable failed. I was in gear and could not move the shuttle shift to neutral so I had to kill the engine to keep from hitting the fence.
I have the service manual, both PDF and paper, and there are no instructions for replacing the clutch cable. I figure I have to get into the bottom of the instrument console to get the cable disconnected from the pedal. I can find no instructions on how to do this either. Whoever designed this must have thought the clutch cable would last forever. This tractor has 389 easy hours on it and this nickel and dime crap ( leaking heater hoses for the third time, broken clutch cable, intermittent windshield wipers, etc) drives me nuts. All the big stuff seems well designed, the tractor handles like a dream, has plenty of power for a utility tractor, but the small things have little thought put into them. Must be the Fiat influence!
Rick, any help you can give me on this issue would be appreciated.
