OK, stuck shifter. Hi-Lo works OK and when that's in neutral I can start the tractor, so it's as if the main shifter is in neutral. However when the Hi-Lo is moved to Hi or Lo, the tractor drives forward. I can't tell if it's stuck in 1st or 2nd.
I've read what I could find, most of which is "stick a big ol' pry bar in thar and wiggle 'er round!". That might work, but since it already pops out of reverse all the time, I want to take the steering housing off and actually fix whatever is going on.
Can I get a simple sequence of events? I don't own a proper manual yet but really should get one, I know. I've looked at some diagrams, and it looks like parts are available, so that's all good.
My main question for starters is - what holds the springs and plungers that hold the shift rails in place, in place? If I lift off the steering box will they sproing all over?
And, any major gotchas? Or is it pretty usual work? (Background = I have restored one TEA20 and fixed several others quite a bit but this is my first Tractor Overseas). Thanks!
