SM420 Reverse gear adjustment #55725 01/30/2006 12:56 AM

In order to do this adjustment the manual says to look through the PTO opening while adjusting the eccentric screw. The problem is I already put the PTO cover on and I'd rather not take it back off if I do not have to. Has anyone ever made this adjustment with the PTO cover in place? 1954 GMC 1/2-ton Longbed 1971 Pontiac LeMans Sport
