Ford 3000 Select o speed

I just picked up a Ford 3000 with a select o speed. Low gears (1-4) and both reverse gears feel like they are binding (to the point of killing the motor if you let it) If I place the tractor in gear 5 before trying to use one of these other gears this binding seems to stop. If switching back and forth from a low forward gear to reverse the binding comes back in reverse only.

Haven?t adjusted bands yet, but will probably be the first start this weekend.

Any other suggestions?
 

Welcome to the forum. Band 2 is either too tight or is not releasing properly. First step is to do a band adjustment.
 

Thanks Larry!

I've been hanging around here for the last few years! It's a great place. I've ordered quite a few parts from YT for my TO30.
