Lost forward but still have reverse. Have not had a chance to look at it yet. Any ideas? Seems like it would be in the linkage somewhere.
 
Well it could be one of the little tierods came apart up under the cowl maybe a nut fell off . Maybe the shifter cam , but doubt that . Start at the top and work down .
 
I had the same problem with my 856--found out the roll pin at the bottom of the forward shifter had broken. Punched it out and put in a new one, forward shifter works like it should now.

Thanks, that was it. What's the trick for getting the pin back in? The way the holes lined up I could not tap the pin back in. I ended up making a new pin by cutting off a drill bit and tapering the end. Now I just have to come up with a way to keep it in. By the way my pin wasn't broke, it just came out.

Instead of a pin, I have used grade 8, 1/4" bolts with a shank long enough to extend almost all the way through the parts, use a lock nut, trim off the excess threads.
