IH885XLMAN Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 hang on a minute, a 1694 was replaced by an 885 ? next time you see mr farmer kick his shins , the mans gone quite mad \ I deserve a numpty it was a DB 1690 and he only had her for 3 years he got pxxxd off with the hydro shift she was second hand so who do you blame?? the owner before or the owner after :'( :'( probebly a bit of both \ also his brother has a 1494 4wd CASEIH on a CASE loader and thats a compleatly diferent tractor to drive (lovely infact)to his old 1690 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 ah a stretched cable on the 1690 then thats usually the problem , till the engine & gearbox warms up, the cable won't pull properly on the shift control. knew of a 14 like that , spend 3 parts of an hour going super slow on the road , then just as you get into the field all gears decide to work & you go tearing off into the distance at light speed only to be told by the boss to slow down a bit \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 the 885 xl i drove today had the same problem he made his own solid TA up no problems after that i had a standard gear box 1394 some reason i prefer them I suppose hydro-shift had its stregths as allot of people praise them as many that curse them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
