550 Massey Gear shifting trouble
While unloading, I shifted my 550 gear drive from 1st to neutral.
The shift lever went to the neutral position but the transmission stayed in 1st.
I had no problem shifting nor have I been having problems shifting from gear to gear or putting the transmission into neutral.
I can not get the shift lever back into the 1st gear position.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
I’m thinking it’s the lockup balls in the shifting spool but it’s been about 15 years since I worked on a 3speed Massey gear drive transmission.
I have a so-called factory service manual and it doesn’t show the shifting spool.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
