This is an older, simpler Ariens tractor but explains what is going on.
When the friction disk is where it is in the picture, you have "high" gear. Moving it into the center gives you lower ratios.
When you shift it past the center, you put it into reverse. You'll see the design allows limited travel in reverse, but yours can probably be adjusted so it is a little farther out on the disk, giving you a little more speed.
Garandman So your saying to adjust it so it travels further to the larger part of the reverse side and if you indeed do that are you also reducing your forward speed a bit? Just a thought but I'm wondering if that's so. Please advise.

Just a thought but I'm wondering if that's so. Please advise. Even if this is the case, I could loose a little forward speed...it goes faster than it can gobble when the snow is deep. Thanks all, will look into making this adjustment ASAP!
