Martin 2,133 #1 Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) not sure if this has been addressed before but while adjusting my direction control on the 416 i came across something that everyone should check when not getting full travel in either direction....... i removed the friction nut and washers and in the travel slot i found a bunch of compacted grass cuttings and oil/grease etc. so tightly packed in there that i had to dig it loose with a screwdriver...... now i have full travel in either direction...... both pics have the nut and 'friction' washers removed.... before...... after.... something that you should check especially if you are having speed issues..........

squonk 41,397 #2 Posted November 9, 2013 Good tip Martin! Another thing to look for is a groove worn in the adjusting cam throwing the neutral adjustment off as well as effecting the cam plate movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 617 #4 Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for the tip. I have a tractor that does not have full forward and that could do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
