Direct drive main clutch question...

Hi D6c10K,
Oz Dozer posted this on one of the BB's recently.
It answers your question for all of the machines mentioned in the article.
Hope this helps.

hi D6c10k
on the D4c the gear lever should be in neutral the Johnson bar in either forwards or reverse ,and the clutch engaged ,you will notice that if the clutch is not engaged the lever is in the way for you to exit the machine
cheers graham

happy new year to you all 👍

If you think about the trucks and tractors with a foot clutch pedal...you have to let the clutch pedal up to get off the machine,engaging the clutch.

With anything I run, when I get off (or out of) I make sure it's in neutral with the parking brake engaged. On the old Cats, it's neutral, clutch engaged and parking brake engaged and blade down unless I leave it up to change the angle. And I NEVER get me feet or anything else under the blade while it's up!!!

So if I am reading everything right when I have my D2 idling for any length of time the transmission is in neutral ( of course) and I should pull back/engage the main clutch lever . This insures the transmission is constantly sprayed with oil....thus no burned bearings and such. This applies to the oil clutch version which I have as well.
