on one side, check as follows :
(1) Remove and exchange the
location of the two valves for the
side which has the drive problem .

(5) Remove the valve and check the contact area of valve . If the contact area

of valve does not show sign of full contact around the seat area, the seat in the

valve plate has defect. The valve plate must be replaced.

3 - 5 BY-PASS VALVE REPAIR

If the "TRANS" indicator light continues to goON or OFF, and you do not notice any
poor hydrostatic performance, the by-pass valve can be the problem . The poppet
does not fit correct against seat and must be replaced. (See Parts Manual or
microfiche for parts.)
(1) Disconnect the hose from the control valve to the port block . Slide the

spring and poppet out of the port block (Fig . 3- 5).

(2) Check the spring poppet and

its seat for damage or binding.

(3) Assembly is the reverse of

(1) Make a visual check of the commutator for rough or burned surface and if
necessary, polish with a fine sand paper. Turn the commutator in a lathe if it is
rough or taper wear is over maximum.

Standard outside diameter 1.73" (41 mm)

Minimum allowable diameter 1.61" (41 mm)

B-3009

Fig. 6-27 Aramture Undercut

Measure the outside diameter of the commutator at several locations with an outside
micrometer and compare the highest micrometer indication with lowest indication to
find the amount of wear. Correction is necessary if the amount of wear is beyond
the value indication for need of servicing.

Value ind ication for need of

(3) Armature coil insulation test:

Test for insulation between the commutator segments using a growler tester (Fig. B-2990
6-2S). If the light of the growler illuminates, the coils are poorly insulated and the
arm atu re needs replacement. Fig. 6-29 Armature Coil Short Test

(4) Testing of the armature coi Is for shorts:

Put the armature on the growler and turn the armature on the growler slowly while
holding a hacksaw blade or a strip of steel over the sections of the armature core
(Fig. 6-29). If there is vibration of the hacksaw blade or a strip of steel, or if it is
pulled, the armature coils are shorted and the armature needs replacement.

(5) Armature coil continuity test:

Make a continuity test between the commutator sections using a growler (Fig.
6-30). If the light of the growler does not illuminate when the tester wires are
connected across the commutator sections, the coil circuit is open and armature
needs replacement.

SUBJECT: ENGINE CARBURETOR AND CHOKE CONTROL

PROBLEM:

Eng ine continu es t o run after the key switch is turned off.

CAUSE:

/ Carburetor does no t have a fu el shut off solenoid.

~~
CORRECTION:

Replace carburetor 6 51 2225 with carburetor 6514854 which has a fuel shut off
so len oid .

Replace the ro d c ontrolled choke linkage with a cable controlled choke (Kit PIN
6561996).

The fuel solenoid carburetor has the choke lever on the left side and cannot be
connected to the rod controlled c hoke linkage .

The cable controlled c h oke will fully open and close the choke and give better
assistance in c old weather starting.

The c able cont rolled c hoke cannot be installed on machines with carburetor part
number 651 2 225 installed because th e choke lever is on the right side of the
carburetor, and w ill result in interference with the governor control.
