As long as the bearings do not have excessive play the gears can be quite worn before they cause problems. [Reply]  [No Email]

After 60 or 70 years of this abuse you see problems like rounded over gear teeth, bent shifting forks and the like. Add in some normal wear and tear and you might have to do some tranny work.

The 4th 5th sliding gear is a "gear in 4th only in 5th it couples the input shaft to the output shaft for direct drive. (as in many standard transmissions.) the beating the splines take from grinding from 4th to 5th is the cause. But with a load on a wagon, that is SOP. Try bates equipment for replacement gear/and input shaft. The intermediate pilot bearing in between the shafts can also be worn/broken allowing it to walk out of gear. The ball and spring detents can also be rusted and non functional. Last item is a bent/worn 4th 5th shifter fork. Some of these can be found together contributing to the issue.
