Shift Pivot Assembly Service (Hydro-Gear
0750 / 0800 Only)
The shift pivot assembly is located on the pivot shaft
behind the lockout lever, and attaches to the lockout
lever and the front shift rod.
With the lockout lever removed, the shift pivot assembly
can be visually inspected for wear, corrosion, or other
damage, and can be removed and replaced by disas-
sembling the hardware that attaches it to the front shift
rod.
See Figure C-23 for a complete parts breakdown.
1. See Figure C–21. Unscrew the hex nut and related
hardware used to connect the shift pivot assembly to
the front shift rod.
2. Inspect the shift pivot assembly for wear, corrosion,
or other damage, and replace if required.
3. See Figure C–22. If necessary, the front shift rod
may also be removed and replaced at this point. For
easiest access, remove the battery (see "Hand
Controls" section), then remove the cotter pin and
washers that secure the front shift rod to the shift
lever assembly.
4. Check the front shift rod for wear or damage, and
replace if necessary.
5. Reassemble all parts in reverse order of disassem-
bly. Apply a liberal coating of grease to the pivot
shaft before replacing linkages, and grease pivot
points at both ends of front and rear shift rods.
6. After reassembling parts, make any necessary
adjustments for proper neutral and "return-to-neutral"
operation, as shown in the "Adjustments" section of
this manual.
