First of all let me say I grew on the farm. I"m considered by some an expert machine operator. I have pretty good repair/ mechanic skills. I do also realize that I mostly caused my own problem.
Can"t get the JD 2555 SGB 4x4 to shift into 1, 2, 5, 6th gears. I mostly caused this problem forcing the tractor into 1st w/o clutch (I know believe me) while finishing baling a field when the clutch master cylinder failed a couple of years ago. The master cylinder was repaired back then and works fine now. I noticed extra grinding when putting in 1st or 5th initially. It eventually affected 6th/2nd. Looking as always to buy some time, corn chopping for now, if possible. There are bolts on the 4 corners of the plate where the shafts enter on the side of the trans (SGB). Has anyone out there attempted repair of this type, or am I headed to the shop?
Thanks Harvey
