The main difference between the Hydro-Traction drive in your model and the traction drive is there should be a T handle on the right console with a rocker switch on the the left side of the T handle for the head raise and lower a traction drive will have a round rod with a white knob which you push or pull to speed up or slow down. Cab control pictures would be nice. I remeber the the pics and I'm thinking it's a gear drive because there is no decals on the bin for Hydro-traction drive. There is a lot more to this so my e-mail is open feel free to do so. I'm doing this from memory as always so beware. [Reply]   [Send Email]

To go fast or slow I push forward or backwards on a joystick( 1st one to the right of the drivers seat). Lift or pushdown the same joystick to raise and lower the head.   [Reply]   [No Email]

F had a standard H shift pattern, the F2 gear drive (I still have one) had a two shift lever system- actually a dumb idea. Need to shift one out of gear before moving the other. I think on the F3 they went back to the single lever system. Anyway, when you are in any gear, you move the VS forward or back to adjust speed, and the same lever, moved up and down, controls the header height. Open the console door to see how that lever system works. Rods go back to the hydraulic valve stack to move various valves. If you have another lever to the right of that, it controls reel height and speed. Not a standard item.   [Reply]   [No Email]
