B. Draft Control (Fig. 225W918A,225W919A)
By positioning the control lever (1) for position control
against the lower backstop on the sector, arm (4)
reaches the utmost position of counter-clockwise rota-
tion.
In said position the roller 1 (5) is totally lowered from
the inclined plane of the positioning cam 1 (6) allowing
the counter-clockwise rotation of lever (7) as well as
the clockwise rotation of the transmission arm (9) that
is pushed by the spring of shaft (21) which in turn will
position itself for the discharge of drawbar pull control.
By positioning the drawbar pull control lever (2) against
the back stop in the upper part of the sector, the draw-
bar pull control shaft (16), will reach its extreme of ten-
sion rod (17) will move roller 4 (11) the latter acting on
drawbar pull cam (12).

This causes the lever (7) to rotate clockwise of trans-
mission arm (9) thus setting the distributor shaft (21)
in delivery position “C” and consequently lifting the
arms. The arms will come to a stop only as soon as
the piston comes into contact with the pin of the limit
stop (22).
The axis limit stop, by means of the tension rod (23),
causes arm (9) to rotate clockwise, thereby compress-
ing the spring of the friction shock absorber (8) and
thus releasing shaft (21) which now can move to the
neutral position “N” where it is pushed outward by its
spring.
Moving the drawbar pull control lever (2) downward,
the leverage system will function in the following man-
ner.
Being an integral part of drawbar pull shaft (16), crank
(15) rotates counter-clockwise and by means of ten-
sion rod (17) causes the roller 4 (11) to slide on lever (7).
