DK-45 Clutch adjustment

[Barrettseq]

Remove the drain plug closest to the clutch and check the magnet for 3 little keys. You do not have to drain all of the oil out, just pull the drain plug and put you finger in the hole and look for the keys on the plug. If you see 2 or 3 keys like Jon said you need to split the tractor. One tip, when you install the syncho pack use 2 rubber bands to hold the keys in place and then remove them after installation. Good luck.

So the keys would have broken off, I assume?

Today I found that if I shift my 4 speed shifter into neutral, then there is less if any grinding when I engage the shuttle shift, especially if I go easy. Does that make sense?
Thanks!

Well, yes, it makes sense, but it defeats the purpose of having a shuttle shift. If one must shift the gear to neutral, then it stands to reason that one could just go ahead and shift to revers and forward with the gear shift and eliminate the shuttle altogether. If the shuttle is grinding, fix the problem and enjoy using the shuttle as it was meant to be used.
