1980 TROJAN 1900 speed in 2nd gear

[BillyThePirate]

Hello, I have a 1980 Trojan 1900 model wheel loader, in first gear (2 gears) it is strong and can make wheels spin if the bucket is against a rock load, but in 2nd gear, with nothing in the bucket, just going uphill a little it slows down to walking pace. I'm not sure but I think i have seen on the net that there is an ajustment for the transmission. Anyone can help me with this issue, please...

The engine slows down proportionately? What is the engine speed when you come to a crawl?

Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for the reply,
No, the engine is at full rpm even when crawling !

Do you have a tachometer? What is the engine speed? If the engine isn't reaching rated speed, then it would be normal for the loader to move, but slow way down on a hill.

You have four speeds, right? Which two gears are we talking about?

I don't have a tachometer but I can assure you that the engine is reving at full rpm. It is a 2 speed only and we are talking in second gear
