3000 Series reverse speed
 

Hi,

Is there a good way to increase speed in reverse without decreasing forward speed?

My sister has a 3225 that will barely move in reverse.


Thanks,

Ike

the bushings on the pedal shafts wear and can cause that problem , there are 2 different sizes... the linkage is also adjustable for length has 2 bolts and the hole is slotted right under the foot board

There is a second adjustment located under the floor pan in between the frame rails. The last three 3000 series tractors I've bought has required this adjustment to be made since the two bolts had come loose.


Basically the best way is to replace any worn bushings and adjust the linkage at both locations.

Reach down and pull up on the forward pedal while backing up. If this increases your reverse speed then you probably have worn bushings.

Thanks for your inputs guys.

Off to the Big Apple tomorrow to see our son.

Hope to get over to my sisters next week to check It out.

Thanks again,

Ike

Pulling up on the forward pedal definitely increased the reverse speed. New bushings are on order.

Thank you for the tip.

New bushings installed. Got reverse. ;-)

Just love "happy endings" and thanks for reporting the results:beerchug:
