I am working on a John Deere 555 crawler loader for a neighbor and regretting every minute of it. At first he took the transmission apart because it only moved in reverse. Second time he took it apart because it only moved in third gear forward and reverse. Now he asked me to fix it. I have taken apart the selector valve and have gained second gear, but still dont have first. Main pressure and applied pressure are the same around 285 psi at wide open throttle. It moves for a short time when its cold but it wont move in first forward or reverse. second and third will spin tracks when driven into a pile. Most of my experience is with ag equipment not industrial, but in my past experiences is that if it doesn"t work immediately after a repair it is because something got assembled wrong or overlooked.
