Hey, i have a 42 Farmall H that orginally came with steel wheels. It has been converted to rubber and it will not shift into 5th gear. In a book i have seen where they locked 5th gear out. How do you unlock this gear?
Thanks

I am a new H owner that just received my shop manual and owners manual today from this website. The owners manual just happens to show exactly what your looking for. Here is a picture and a description. The book states to remove the lockout screw and replace it with a 3/8 X 3/4 inch cap screw.

The 5th gear lock bolt is on top the transmission next to the steering shaft support and fuel tank support. You do not need to remove it, you can just loosen it, or remove it and put in a very short bolt. After you do this, your 5th gear will work.

About 20 years ago Dad was servicing an H on steel, and it had the 5th gear lockout. I don't recall exactly, but I believe it was either a headless bolt or a pin that was threaded into the top case, which prevented the 5th gear shift rail from sliding and engaging 5th gear.

I believe Dad said the way to get it out was to cut a slot in the end, and use a "two-fisted" screwdriver to remove it...then put a much shorter bolt in to fill the hole.

Anybody else remember differently?
