My Newest addition - Logan 200

The pull out knob engages the back gears. Assuming it is was installed correctly pulling it out engages the back gears, pushing it in is normal drive. There are two steps to using the back gears, that knob and a lock pin on the bull gear. Normally the lock pin is engaged and the knob is pushed in. For using the back gear the lock pin is disengaged and the knob is pulled out. Note that if the knob and gear rack is not installed correctly this may get mixed up (see instruction link below).

"Sac re bleu !" My logan back gear rod is bass ackwards.......:nono: When I release the rod keeper the back gears swing into position...... but had a tendency to kick out in use. Previous owner installed a latch to keep the knob in the " In " position.Now i know why !

Consider the day 'Lost' if you don't learn something .

Thanks for the information
i can't believe it could be reversed ( but it is still wrong) but it is possible.....I proved it :whiteflag:

that is correct, in is normal, (locked) out in back gears engaged.

thats funny, the PO of mine installed a latch to keep the rod out.
The little tab in the rod was jammed up, and would not drop down.
He had modified a hasp for a door/padlock to swing up and hold the Rod out.
Pretty clever actually.
I was able to remove the rod and free up the tab.
