Lamborghine 674-70 // SAME Explorer II - 70hp Gear selector help needed!

Post #1 by le.maisonniau » Thu Feb 17, 2022 10:25 pm

Hi Guys,
For my 70th birthday, I treated myself to a 70horse 4 wheel drive tractor with a cab :D
(Badly needed to pull logs home from my wood :angel: )

Its an oldy but goody, its a 1987 model (Lamborghini) in very good condition, excellent motor, It just needed a mechanical regulator and fuel pump and the tank and fuel lines purged after I first drove it home, now it runs as sweet as anything (This was done under the warranty by tractor dealer), it is a very good starter even in sub-zero temps.

Issue I have is:
A: there are 3 (THREE) gear sticks :lol: :lol:
1; for Hi - lo (Hare and Tortoise) 2; 1,2,3 and 4 range selector and 3; a forward - reverse selector (including another position shift for a lower range)

B: I have got used to the gears etc. my problem is getting reverse selected, it seems a mechanical issue and has to do with the travel on the selector sticks, they all seem to have an affect on each other as I move them around :o :oops:

Is there any knowledgeable chap out there who can give me a pointer on where to start looking and what adjustments to make :wave:

Now problems putting up pictures, descriptions etc. I would like to have a crack myself before going back to dealer.

Not a particularly common marque in the UK, and particularly here in the SE. If no one can help here then perhaps someone might on The Farming Forum
(TFF).

Hi All, :wave:
An update, I popped back to the dealer I bought the tractor from, I spoke to the "chef du garage", (I live in France) he said, just bring it in I will have a look.

Took it in, he got underneath, made me waggle the 'forward - reverse' stick', said hold on, now try it, - voila, it works, he said leave it with me, it'll be ready Monday AM (This was Friday pm)

Monday 0900 :o , had a call, 'your tractor is ready' nipped back and collected it (garage is 6kms from home), It is working perfect, BUT cost a whopping 1 euro and 64 cents, this was for a retaining spring that pulls a security 'doo dah' in place so forward or reverse can be selected and more importantly de-selected, so the operator cannot go direct from forward into reverse whilst travelling at speed and crunching the gearbox.

Very impressed, a happy bunny. :D

I am currently rebuilding the roof liner and adding in a new radio console with a bank of work light switches (as you do) I will put up some pictures when its done.
Well ! I have to keep occupied haven't I :roll:
Meanwhile, I am just waiting for the brush cutter head to arrive for the digger :angel:
