Hi Guys
When attempting to shift gears on my WD it just grinds and won't shift gears. This happens using the foot or hand clutch. Low or high throttle. If I start it in gear with the foot clutch depressed it will operate fine so long as i don't take it out of that gear. If I do it will just grind when attempting to shift. Needless to say turning the tractor off, shifting into the gear I need then turning it on again is getting old.
I'm new to Allis Chalmers and the WD so if anyone can offer some troubleshooting advice from past experiences that would be a ton of help. I'm mechanical but not a mechanic and trying to learn as I go. So dumbing it down a bit if you can would be appreciated.
Possible helpful info:
-I have owned this tractor since the winter and it gradually started doing this. It first started as a grind but would still shift. Now it only grinds and will not go into gear when running.
-It has always been a bit difficult to get it to shift into 3rd and fourth. Even with the tractor off.
-When it grinds and I let off pressure on the shifter I can still hear something spin of a bit.
-the tractor is a 1952....tractor number WD108811
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
