broadmoor lowspeed problem

[Mine19821 158]

sunday took my 717 out to mow and it poped the low speed into neutral. than i had a tough time getting it into low or high. almost like it wouldnt go far engough or went to far. anyone have any knowloage on these?

I can't say I have heard of such a thing.  I wonder if it's fully engaging?  It should have a pretty positive 'click' once it sits into one of the two gear sets.

it does not do that. its always been difficult to shift into either range. just recently starting popping out of gear. very strange setup to me.

I had my hi-lo unit come missing a "stop" piece.

Ended up making one. Just a thought. Good luck.

I forget how it is fastened on, but the whole unit might be sliding a tad .

i had that thought to but didnt seem like it was. i must have something together wrong. i put it on last year when i got it. took the best parts of 2 and made myself one nice one and made one to sell. wish id have kept the stock pulley.

Check the set screws that lock it to the shaft, they like to loosen up and then the unit slides and doesn't shift completely.

Will do that this weekend thanks for that thought. It’s never clicked into either range always been wishy washey.
