Figure C–18. Lockout Lever/Shift Pivot Assembly
Lockout Lever Service (Hydro-Gear 0750 /
0800 Only)
The lockout lever is located directly under the idler arm
assembly and is mounted on the same pivot shaft. The
lockout lever, which is also referred to as a "return-to-
neutral cam" (See "Adjustments" section of this manual)
connects the rear shift rod, shift pivot assembly, and
front shift rod.
When the brake pedal is fully depressed, the clutch rod
engages the arm on the lockout lever, causing the link-
age to pivot. This shifts the transmission into neutral, and
automatically repositions the shift lever into the neutral
gate. Visually inspect the lockout lever for wear, cracks,
corrosion, or other damage, and replace if necessary fol-
lowing the steps below.
See Figure C-23 for a complete part breakdown.
1. See Figure C–21. Remove the hex nut that secures
the lockout lever to the shift pivot assembly. (See
Figure C–23 for complete hardware details.)
2. Move the rear shift rod to the side, and slide the lock-
out lever off the pivot shaft.
3. See Figure C–22. If necessary, the rear shift rod
may also be removed and replaced at this point.
Remove the hex nut and related hardware that
secure the rear shift rod to the speed control lever on
the transmission (See Figure C–23).
4. If no additional service in this area is required,
reassemble parts in reverse order of disassembly,
and make any necessary adjustments for proper neu-
tral and "return-to-neutral" operation, as shown in the
"Adjustments" section of this manual. If shift pivot
assembly or front shift rod service is required, pro-
ceed to next section.
