shifting gears without stopping
Original Message   Dec 31, 2009 11:31 am
I have a JD 1130 . My wife was using today and I noticed her shifting forward gears without stopping. Will it hurt the machine?  In the manual it says not to do it. She said she had done it several times  and it always worked . I just hope she hasn't caused any damge.

The friction disk drive is brilliant in it's simplicity.  When I first took apart a snow blower, I didn't get it until I move the gearshift lever and watched what happened. 

What really made me smile is when I shifted into reverse and it's so obvious what happens that you can't believe it at first.
