July 31, 1998Problem
A bracket is installed on the transmission of the above machines to protect the speed sensors during shipment of the transmission.If the bracket is not removed before the installation of the transmission into the tractor, one of the bolts holding the bracket may interfere with and damage the 6Y2103 TC Relief Valve. The 6Y2103 Valve should be removed and inspected for damage. If it has been damaged, a shorter 1481928/">148-1928 Relief Valve should be installed. This corrects the possibility of interference without the necessity to remove the transmission to remove the bracket.
