I have read several posts about tractors not being able to shift into any gear or even neutral, which is what mine has done since yesterday. I took out the battery and plate underneath, as advised, and I see the three linkages. The one furthest right, for R/1st, is most out of line with the others. I was out there for three hours trying to get it more in line and couldn't get it to move. Is this what needs to be done? Why won't it move? There is a horizontal shiny shaft part of the linkage way down at the bottom that obviously needs to go inward (direction to rear of tractor) to match up with the other two. I also took of the shifting stick and didn't see the three pieces to line up, like I've seen videos of on a smaller older floor shifting tractor. It just looked like one solid piece that the one solid lever sits on. Nothing to adjust that I could see. Maybe I need a flashlight? ALso, when this all happened yesterday, the clutch pedal is all of a sudden harder to press and you can hear the springs stressing. Do you think the clutch might be the problem? If so, what do I do then? I'm just a girl learning to use my first tractor on my very first farm with all my money gone to equipment and seed. I hope I can fix this myself.
