A - Range Shift Lever

B - Gear Shift Lever

C - FNR Lever


Range shift lever (A) provides three speed ranges: A, B and C.

Gear shift lever (B) provides four forward and four reverse travel speeds (1, 2, 3, 4).

FNR lever (C) provides travel direction (forward or reverse).

NOTE: The clutch pedal must be fully depressed one time after engine is started.

This is normally done when engaging a speed gear from neutral. When the tractor is started with speed gear engaged (FNR is in neutral), the tractor will not move when the FNR lever is set to F or R, until the clutch pedal has been fully depressed one time.

  • Twelve forward and twelve reverse speeds are available when using range and gear shift levers

IMPORTANT: Top shaft synchronizer works only on speed gears. To prevent transmission damage, do not attempt to change range while in motion. To shift into a different range; stop tractor, depress clutch pedal fully and decrease engine speed.

The clutch pedal must be FULLY depressed in order to make a gear (speed) shift. If the clutch pedal is not fully depressed, the shift lever can not be moved beyond neutral. Should this occur, depress the clutch pedal further. If the clutch pedal free travel is out of specification, see your John Deere dealer to readjust clutch pedal linkage.

To prevent unnecessary clutch wear, never “ride” the clutch by resting foot on the pedal.

FNR lever: With tractor stopped, select desired travel direction (forward or reverse). Travel direction change can be done without depressing the clutch pedal.

Range Shift: Tractor must come to a complete stop when shifting into any speed range.

  1. After the tractor has stopped, lower engine rpm to idle speed.
  2. Depress clutch pedal FULLY.
  3. Select desired speed range (A, B, C).
  4. Slowly release clutch pedal to gradually take up load.
  5. Increase engine speed once shift is completed.

Gear (speed) Shift: Changing gears can be made on-the-go, without stopping.

  1. With tractor in motion, depress clutch pedal (C) FULLY.
  2. Select desired speed (1, 2, 3, 4 ).
  3. Slowly release clutch pedal to gradually take up load.
