I have a machine with a two speed gearbox that has a neutral position along with a high speed and low speed selectable via a handle with a linkage. I have never seen it work correctly as one of the shafts had been broken, repaired and broken again.
After having that part made, making a positive stop for the clutch fork for all three positions, it sat for a year while I worked on other things.
The gear box is driven by a belt from the off side of the cutterhead. When starting machine the gear box should be free spooling as to not cause more load on an already hard to start machine.
When I start it, the feed runs, switching from high to low doesn't change the speed at all.
Not that I expect anyone to know how to correct this issue, I am more curious to know if anyone has seen something familiar to this.
Its German and from the 60s.
