[AT] MF 265 multi-power

[charlie hill]

The repair on the 265 Multi-power was about as easy as it could have been. 
I took the side panels off that hide the linkage, adjusted the linkage so 
that it pushed the plunger further into the transmission by about 1/8" and 
it started working.  There seems to be some play in the plunger so I'm not 
sure how it's going to turn out long term.

Thanks for the help

Charlie
