MF 35 PTO shift fork re-assembly

On a 1962 MF 35 with multi-power
I took the PTO side cover off to have access to the hydraulic pump filter assembly. Gave up for now on removing the filter due to the wire holding it in place. Thought I could not cut the wire and replace it in the time available. Do I need to replace the wire? Is this wire of a special type?
Some black sludge on the bottom: should I worry about this?
But the real problem; thought I had been careful in putting the PTO side cover back on. The shift fork is not in the right place as I have ground speed PTO all of the time regardless of the PTO shift lever position.
When you put the cover back on, how do you get the shift fork in the right position?
I have the MF owner"s manual and the MF service manual (both from AGCO).
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Hi Mark,
In 40 years of involvement with MF I have never seen a pump oil filter come loose. That said the wire is not there for the fun of it. If you don't have suitable soft locking wire find some heavy electrical cable. In the UK the suitable cable is used on a cooker circuit. As long as its single strand and substantial it should be suitable. Anchor it through the small hole in the rear pump plate and under the butterfly on the filter cup. One or two twists with a pliers should suffice.

Sounds like you have the fork forward of the coupler gear. Remove it and move the coupler rearward into the neutral position so that it can spin freely. Select netral on the side cover and carefully engage the fork. Fit two screws to the cover and nip them up. Operate the lever and check that the fork is engaged correctly.

Thanks. I will try again as soon as possible. Wish I could see inside as the cover is being moved into place.
