Hiesler 9 speed shift lever

rick56 · Jul 14, 2014

Hi, new to the forum and thought it would be a good place to find out something about the Hiesler 9 speed. We have an M in the family with a Hiesler 9 speed (pretty certain it's a heisler anyway). Problem is that the lever to engage it is missing. What I'd like to know is the overall length of the shift lever and the center to center to distance between the pivot point and the hole that the actuator rod goes to so I can fabricate my own shift lever. The pivot bracket is still attached to the rear fuel tank support on our M so I at least have that much. Anyone here have a farmall with the 9 speed that could get the measurements for me? Thanks in advance!

Rick, Welcome to the forum and I obtained the measurements you asked for off of my 1951 Farmall M with the Hiesler 9 speed on the tractor. The overall length is 16" and the spacing between the pivot point hole and the one for the actuator rod near the bottom is 4.5". The lower hole is very close to the bottom of the Hiesler lever with enough surrounding metal for a sufficient edge margin around the hole. Hope this is what you are needing if something else is required my email is open, Hal.

Many thanks, I was thinking I might have to implement trial and error to fabricate a lever that would shift the unit properly. I appreciate you taking the time to measure yours and respond.
Great site and good people here.
