4230 POWERSHIFT PARK GEAR ?

TIMAR · Sep 25, 2012

How much of a job is it to replace? My 4230 will ratchet if parked on a slope. Already tried the adjustment

IIRC parts key #16 might be broken causing the park pawl chatter.

The pawl can be changed by lifting the top cover,,but would be a nasty job with the cab on,,I think it can be done by going through the cab floor, but I never tried it,,I'm big on yanking the cab and getting it out of the way, with my Handy Dandy cab puller..

That's what I thought, but was hoping for easier. pretty sure the spring is good yet. Looks like a winter project. Better be a long winter. Have 4..... no 5 projects in the works already!!!!!!!!

A tad off topic, A little while back I was having problems with the the gear shift growling after I took it out of park. I undid the linkage, and part number 15 in that parts picture moved so hard, so I moved it back and forth a few times and it got easier to move. Now it works pretty good, just once in a while it will make a noise. If it doesn't want to go in park, I just get out and give part number 15 a little push and it locks right in. I'm not sure if the spring is weak, or the cable is stretched, or something inside the trans is bad.
The powershift itself works great.

The shaft could be just a bit sticky, the spring is for "pulling" them out of park, giving a bit of spring tension for when the load is against the pawl, when you go into park it pushes back on the lever, you may need to lengthen the adjustment a little to let it push a bit farther...the cable could be getting worn too,, they are nasty to change...I just got done tearing a 4960 transmission down the Planetary brake pack failed,,a "very" big job, cab off and 2 splits..

Is that that 10K plus part?

tim s · Sep 26, 2012

Yes, $10,700 from Deere,, The customer only used it a bit when it started to act up,,he was the victim of a bad purchase,,Darn it...

Tims that is one nice shop. I need more lights in mine. Mine looks dark compared to yours. 8)

I have 3 rows of 6 high bay lights,(18) that work out well, I spend a lot of time in here and a dark shop is like working in a cave, the work area in the picture is 75X40X14, I have 20 ft off to the side for office,parts,restroom, and my hydraulic test room.Here is an out side pic..
