Adjusting reverse lever throw on 2000 Series

[diesel_nut]

Should say: 2500 Series....sorry.

If you don't have enough throw in the reverse lever here is your fix. Very easy fix. See pics below.

Pic #1 shows the adjustment hold bolts. They are located directly under the floorboard under reverse lever. Loosen both bolts with a 3/8" socket. Reverse lever can now easily be pushed upward. Set at roughly 2-3/4 inches above metal on floorboard(measured from floorboard to top of lever). Any higher and the reverse lever rod will hit the bottom of the floorboard(Pic #2) when the forward pedal is depressed. Re-tighten bolts.
You can adjust height of reverse lever to where you get roughly full throw out of both forward and reverse levers.
If you want more you can(if you wish) bend the floorboard upward and/or grind a notch in reverse lever rod. Of course you risk paint cracks on floorboard and subsequent rust. Notching lever rod might be better because you can then paint over the rod.

Easy fix.

Note: Before adjustment my reverse lever was only 2" above floorboard.

Got to try it out today and the reverse pedal is sooooooooooooooo much easier to use now. Actually I left mine at 3" up.
