Adjusting Gear Set.


When replenishins the supply Of lutri-
cant In the transmission, It is a good
plan to note II the gears shift and mesh
poperly. They are shifted by means
of forks or yokes which are connected
TO rode which are operated by the hand
lever. ...
As a rule the yokes are adjustable on
the rods or other means incorporated
so that the movement may be varied.
Care should be taken to have the gears
in full mesh that is. the teeth Of one
gear should extend all the way along
the teeth Of the other. In other words,
the surfaces must be flush. II not, the
adjustment should be 30 made that the
proper mesh will be obtained. .
While inspecting the gears operate the
lever. 30 that the different gears will
be engaged such as the low, second and
reverse. Note II the shift Is made easily
when the teeth are in the proper posi-
tion to mesh. Sometimes the clashing
OF gears Is due to the bearings being
worn, allowing one gear to drop sli ght-
ly. Under such condition the gear
must be forced into mesh as the teeth
contact or strike before riding over each
other.
Fitting Cork Inserts.
In replacing worn cork inserts with
new in the dry plate form Of clutch, the
diameter Of the material should be
slightly larger than the opening in the
plate so that the cork will be a snug
fit. The width Of the cork insert should
be slightly in excess Of that OF the
plate, about the thickness Of a visiting
card when the surfaces are trued up.
A high grade cork should be employed
for the work.
