Help to identify device on L1802

[JFBlouin]

Hello. I just bought a L1802. I find a spring loaded button on floor. This button can block a rod travelling front to rear under the foot rest. The seller don't know what is it. I mark the button with blue arrow on picture. Thanks for help.

Also, I'm looking for good quality service and parts manual. Any advice will be appreciate.

I have looked at this picture 20 times........
it does not look factory! It looks like someone cut a bolt head off!
SO does that threaded rod move up and down ? Can you back off the camera shot a bit, and or show what is under the bolt?

Looks like it might thread from under the floorboard up through....your tranny fluid by the way looks fine.

I'm wondering if that is the differential lock, should be in the same area, maybe the rest of the pedal portion is broken off.

That would be my guess also.

JFBlouin, is this on the left side by the clutch pedal or on the right side by the axle? Based on the pictures I have looked at, this is next to the clutch pedal.

That was my first thought too - someone must have replaced it with threaded rod or cut a bolt head off - leaving just the threads...... strange it does not have any "top" on it.

This is not a broken part. Diff lock is on the right side. This is near the clutch. Probably related to the clutch. On the picture, I move spring to show it. Can't say any more.

Push on the clutch and at the same time push down on the spring pin, does the clutch stay locked open?

that picture changes the whole game !!!

I thought it was a rod that had threads on it - Dope! I know see clearly what you are describing.......

something for parking the tractor for a long time ....so the clutch will not cease to the pressure plate?? mmmmm........if so - nice addition! Betcha that is what it is ! Good call NIW!

If that is what it is, it looks a lot easier than the one that is on the L3901 I have.

look under the floor and see if you can get pics of what it attaches to below the floor plate. Describe the orientation of the camera when pics taken so people can better figure out what they may be looking at.

I'm sure that's what it is, to lock Clutch peddle in the disengaged position for long time storage. My L3400 has one, just configured a little differently.

Hmmm, I don't think my L3200 has that feature...

I'd use it a lot since it sits stored for 6 months at a time!

If you're concerned about your clutch face getting stuck to the flywheel cut a piece of lumber (2X4) to go from the clutch peddle depressed to something above. Leave it for the duration.

 

[ShaunRH]

Not overly concerned. If I thought it stuck I'd use the neutral function of the directional hi/lo selector and pop it while in a taller gear. That would usually break it loose (and kill the motor, but that's what restarts are for). The L3200 only has a single clutch plate so it's considered pretty weak anyway.

 

[JFBlouin]

You're right. That lever can keep the clutch depress. Thanks every body

My L1501 still has the factory block of wood in toolbox.
