10006 Deutz

Engine is tight from setting. I want to know how to get it in high gear? I am pulling
the injectors & soak it for a while. Then jack up a wheel & rock it back & forth & see
if it will free up . It has 2 shift levers side by side. Which does what? It is 2 WD.
Thanks.

The 100-06 has a deluxe ZF fully synchronised transmission. It has six gears and two ranges that you can think off as a mecanical torque amplifier.
Slowest is 1st low, then 1st high, then 2ndlow, etc....

To put it in highest gear, speed rh lever is right rear and Lhrange lever should be right rear as well.
The lowest range lever has 4 positions, because the lower range is either front of the rear range on the left or front of the fast range on the right.
This way you have either a shuttle shift or a Hilo shift, both being synchronise. I am going of 20 years ago memory, but 100-06 are among favorite Tractors for hauling trailers.

Thanks!

I will get you pictures of the shift knobs with the shift patterns on for you tomorrow from ours. Fdt860's description is pretty good. Especially for being 20 years removed from them.

1st and 2nd gears are not synchronized, but in reality rarely do you go that slow and use those gears. All the rest of the gears are. And the high/low/reverse lever is fully synchronized too. The shift pattern makes for easily knowing which gear is next, for if you think you can go one gear faster or slower doing something. The high-low shift is easy, but every other gear (if you go in exact order which you do not have too) is easily doable to by shifting both levers at same time with both hands. Example: shifting from 3rd Hi to 4th low. In reverse there are 5 gears: 6th is blocked out in reverse.

It is really a nice simple but highly effective and usable transmission (and stout!). I say one of the best. I shift regularly in the field with varying field conditions or slowing down for corners. Really nice hauling loads combined with the foot throttle. Hauling loads you can just shift the gear lever.

I assume the shift knobs are gone from your shift levers. You can still get brand new ones. I have. Landwehr Repair always has both of them in stock and will ship them anywhere. They shift even nicer when they have knobs on the shift levers! But I would get your engine running first...

Adding two pictures as promised. One shows the stickers on the dash that show the shift patterns of the two levers. Pretty straightforward. Sometimes if tractor has sat outside a while the stickers are faded and unreadable. Note on the range/reverse lever (left lever) that "Z" is low and "N" is high. German that I don't know. There are two lows in the pattern. One directly in front of high for easy hi-lo shifting, and one in back of reverse for for easy shifting from forward to reverse (it is synchronized). Both low positions are the same speed....this confuses one of my friends.

Also is a picture of the top of the shift levers also showing the shift pattern.

Please don't hesitate if you have more questions. I expect next might be question on the lever for the creeper and the lever for the PTO setting.

PTO has the knob on it showing 540 & 1000. Is the creeper the long lever on the left side of the dash? I thought it may be a TA lever? Thanks for the shifter pictures too.

The long big lever along the left side of dash is for the PTO clutch. It is what you actually use to turn on and off the PTO. Forward is on (clutch engaged). With that lever back (PTO off) there should be a little bit of a catch such that you need to pull the lever back a little and then to the right before letting it forward to engage the PTO. Sometimes this is wore off and for safety reasons I like to make sure the catch is there. The catch is on a separately bolted on piece that can be replaced or built back up.

The lever at the base of the shift levers is strictly to switch PTO speeds or put the PTO in neutral. I usually will shift the PTO speed lever with the big PTO clutch lever not engaged with the tractor stopped with the clutch pressed and idling. It will grind gears a little regardless everytime I find. Note that the pictures I took are on our 130-06 which only has 1000rpm PTO, so the lever only is for 1000 rpm or neutral.

That PTO speed selection system on the 100/80 06 is much loved by many of its owners. We more or less consider it an early "economy 540" feature. It was common (when we still milked cows) for us to haul manure in the winter with our box spreader in 1000 rpm PTO speed even though it is a 540 spreader. We would just not run the engine fast as it is a low power job, especially with the common smaller daily load from the gutter cleaner from our barn. And then when it is cold and frozen we like to run the apron fully around at least once after it was unloaded (with beater off) to get chain a little dryer and loose in hopes it doesn't freeze. The 1000 rpm feature allowed that to happen faster. But you do have to be a little smart; don't run 540 rpm equipment in 1000rpm speed at full engine PTO speed.

Back off the soap box...
You might be wondering why would that PTO speed lever have a neutral position? On the left side of the dash behind that big PTO clutch lever, there should be or was a sticker that says lever must be in forward position when not being used to disengage an implement (or something similar, going off memory). The sticker sounds a bit stricter than it really needs to be. Regardless, I cannot explain the clutch system, but I am told that with the PTO clutch disengaged it actually takes a little pressure off the main clutch. So when you are plowing, pulling heavy loads, or plainly not using the PTO for a while, you should have the PTO clutch (the big PTO lever) engaged (forward). It will help your clutch last longer and not as easily slip. If you do not like having the PTO shaft powered all the time with the PTO clutch engaged, then you can put the PTO speed selection lever in neutral and not worry about it...just don't forget about this when you want to use the PTO again. If you are really concerned about your clutch you could even put the speed selection lever in neutral when you have a PTO implement hooked up but not using and engage the PTO clutch. But it isn't that big of deal and you should not have to go to those measures, but you could.

I personally have not ever used the creeper range, but I know it is activated with the little lever on the floor back further from the shift levers closer to the seat, to the left of the differential lock pedal. You can see it in the picture I attached now. I think there are only 4 gears that work in creeper range. Now that I mentioned it and then you asked, I may have to try it out...

I hope this helps. Don't be afraid to ask more questions. I usually check the forums every evening during the work week and should catch every Deutz question. Good Luck!

Well , thanks again. I am learning more all the time. Now if I can remember it all when I get it running. I had to make a puller to get the last 2 injectors out yesterday. Got some ATF in there. Now I can't get the fitting to break loose on the oil cooler. It is plugged up so I want to take it off to clean it right. Also want to take the injection pump off before trying to turn the engine in case it would be stuck as I don't want to ruin it. The oil fitting broke loose from the engine but it is seized to the line. I heated it twice yesterday but still stuck. I am soaking with PB & atf.

Got the oil cooler off this AM. Now to get the pump off & mark it. I have a mark on the flywheel already.

Good luck with getting the engine free and running. I have not and probably would not tackle that on my units. I would likely take that work to professionals. That is why I am not providing any advice on those tasks but wish you the best. Sounds like you have everything marked for maintaining timing of the fuel pump so you should be good. I have heard that one thing on them that confuses people is the cylinders are numbered backwards. Deutz considers cylinder 1 to be at the back of the engine and 6 is the front cylinder. Not sure why.

If you run into trouble and need help/advice and no one on the forums is helping you, don't hesitate to call Landwehr Repair. They sold 100-06's new back in the 70s and continue to sell new Deutz tractors. They know 100-06's inside and out. Very small family operation on gravel road in middle of Wisconsin. Dale is in charge now and he could answer any question you have on your repair and likely has any part you might need in stock...whether new or used part. He has a large salvage yard of retired Deutz tractors and actually has most commonly needed used parts on shelves. He is very reasonable with prices on used parts and his advice is always free. I have added a link to their website and their phone number is on there.

Best wishes!

I knew how the cylinders are numbered. I have the pump loose but it won't pull out. I will contact Landwehr tomorrow. Thanks much for the advise.
