I have some clutch slippage under heavy loads (windrowing brush and trees): do I adjust the clutch or linkage? The operation and maintenance manual doesnt address linkage adjustment just clutch adjustment.

There are only two adjustments....the one for the clutch is to get the proper snap over action for engage and disengage.
The other is a linkage adjustment for the transmission brake.

If the clutch still slips with the correct adjustment you've got other issues....mainly worn parts.

like old magnet says you will have to go inside your clutch to adjust the load.
do not try to adjust your clutch with the linkage. i am not sure what the 7
has, i am familiar with the 4's and 5's. i have a 17A repair manual at work i
can scan for you if you need.

Thanks for the offer! I😊 have both the Operation/Maintenance Manual and the Service Manual: but being the thick headed Scotsman I am, sometimes I need someone to explain it to me. I guess the machine being new to me and different from my 955 I'm still getting my feet wet around it. I appreciate all the input I can get!

the service manual does not explain how to adjust the clutch. it says to look
in the ops manual. it is very simple disengauge the clutch, loosen two nuts on
the locks, you will have to turn the engine over to access the locks. turn the
inner adjusting ring clockwise i believe. you will not need to turn it very far,
a little goes a long ways. i would guess not more than 3/16 turn on the ring.
the ops manual will tell how to set it as far as pounds pull on the lever.
