Transmission X-Control Mechanism and Pivot Pin Therefor

摘要

An X-control mechanism (200) using an improved and easily installed pivot pin (100) is provided for providing a cylindrical pivot surface (16) about which a pivot arm (8) is able to pivot in response to movement of a control block (6) that is selectively engageable by a primary shaft (3) movable by an operator. The pivoting of arm (8) is operative to slide an x control yoke (14) in an opposite direction along a fixedly secured control shaft (22) for selectively engaging mainshaft gears to a transmission mainshaft 32. Pivot pin (100) is operative to hold pivot arm (8) against the transmission housing (10) between an enlarged head (12) at one end and a snap ring (20) extending radially outwardly from an annular groove (18) adjacent the opposite end.
