Hi, Buggyman.
Welkum 2 ther 4um.
So yer wanna pick me brains? Wut makes yer think I've got enny? An' how 'bout if'n I need'em sometime in the future? LOL.
Somewhere in the Graders forum there is a post of mine with fairly detailed instructions for turning the blade lift bull gears (Hi-lift gears) and for adjusting the blade lift pinions that drive those gears.
I've just done a search and found one of the places where I've posted this information:

See Post #29.
Further to the information in that post, you can also do a switch-around of the dog clutches in the control box so that you end up with less worn clutches on the blade lift control shafts. This DOES take a bit of brain work as you MUST keep correct track of which clutches are turning which way to do what so that you do get the less worn faces doing the work.
If you want/need further information, please feel free to e-mail me. Click on my name for my e-mail address. Or, if you have Yahoo Messenger and a suitable headset with microphone, we could talk for hours at little if any cost.
