GT 1800/1848 shift linkage help

[ktowndave 5]

I took my seat and fender off to try to get the hydro lever to work correctly, when I depress the brake fully, it doesn't want to disengage and go to the neutral position. I noticed the triangle shaped forward/reverse linkage/bracket was super floppy so I tightened it up, I didn't over tighten to where it wouldn't move. Not realizing that the pivot point was cam shaped, I put it back the way it was when I loosened it. when I put it back together, it was worse. I took the side cover off to reveal the disengage/brake linkage and tried adjust it to where when the brake linkage depresses the lever to push the forward/reverse lever into neutral but it still won't put it quite into neutral.

 I also tried to adjust the linkage that goes from the forward/reverse lever to the triangle shaped transmission bracket. Can anyone explain what causes the forward/neutral/reverse to act this way and what adjustments can be made to eliminate it?

 Can the bracket that attaches to the transmission need replaced, the slot is very worn which is probably caused by the sloppiness of the bracket that I first tightened. Also, is there a manual on here that shows/explains the adjustment procedure? I believe the tractor is a 1986, it is grey and red in color with Work Horse GT1800 on the hood.

Thank You Garry! I got my tractor out to do the spring maintenance and tried to solve the issue before I actually started putting it in service.

I am in the process  of bringing  a GT1848 back to life and the Near the back of both the GT 1800/1848 Service manual and the Eaton 1100 service manual will explain in detail adjustments  your attempting to do. These have been very  valuable  to me. The link provided  by Gary should be what you seek in knowledge.
