Unknown function of lever(see pic)

[alorio1]

I am the new owner of a Yanmar 3110 and see this lever that I don't know it's function. I ordered a service manual from Hoye but I can't find the description of this lever in the manual and the pics aren't very clear in the service manual. I have not moved it with tractor running but did move it while engine was stopped. It moves easily but I just don't want to mess with some thing I know noting about. Can someone please tell me what the functionality of this lever is and how should it be used? It's the lever just below the gear shift decal. Thanks in advance...alorio1

Parking brake? diff lock?

That's the donglemeyer overload protection lever. If you feel as though your donglemeyer is getting overloaded you throw the switch rapidly and repeatedly.

To where is it connected? What moves when the switch moves?

Throttle tension?

1234& C for Creep I believe?

It's the lever just below the 1234&C

1234& C for Creep I believe?

I always thought it was something to do with the creeper function. I have never used mine. I have No need for it

Could it engage the 4wd or the hi- lo in the chain case.

In the Pic. it looks like it's showing that if you move the Lever in the Down Position puts the Trans in Creep Mode?

 

[kenmac]

It doesn't engage the 4 wd. That's done with another lever. I have never given mine much thought

Parking brake? diff lock?

It's not the diff. lock because I have a pedal on the left for that. Parking brake? I will have to try and see if that's what it is.

That's the donglemeyer overload protection lever. If you feel as though your donglemeyer is getting overloaded you throw the switch rapidly and repeatedly.
That makes sense, a donglemeyer overload protection lever, if that is the correct answere it will come in handy because my donglemeyer stays overloaded. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the eject button and throw my *** off the tractor.....


To where is it connected? What moves when the switch moves?

It's connected to a rod that goes straight down into the transmission cavity. I don't know what it moves because I did not move it while the tractor was running.

Throttle tension?

Nope not the throttle tension, my throttle tension has a ball and spring located on the throttle lever and it's not adjustable, that I am aware of.

Could it engage the 4wd or the hi- lo in the chain case.

No, it can't be that because it's a 2 wheel drive tractor.

operators manual = have the details / explanation of what does what.

service manual = for tearing it apart and diagnosing issues.

might help taking a few other pictures, showing all the controls of tractor, so folks can eliminate various controls

It might connect to some sort of chain , but my 3110 is 2 wheel drive.

If no one gets it right tonight, I will see if Hoye has a Operators manual. I will take more photos tomorrow. Thanks for all the replys, alorio1

The service manual / operators manual is for a US model 336. I don't believe the 336 had this feature

creeper lock out lever, if u try to shift into low gear it will feel difficult until you rotate the lever, never has to be moved, low gear is very slow

 

[grainger12002]

336d also has similar lever, similar location ..

 

[alorio1]

Thanks Grainger for putting this to rest and to everyone who made suggestions..........so now we know. Alorio1
