I need some hands on prior experienced expert advice on this tractor and have had good luck on this forum before, so here goes.
I bought this 8N that the trans was locked up on. Went to smiths old tractors and followed his advice and I was then able to put all shifters back into neutral or so it seems.
The thing is still locked up. Nothing will move it.
I can turn the engine by hand using big screwdriver thru the timing hole in the housing. However, while it did take the pressure off enough for me to put the shifter arms all in the neutral position the tractor just will not budge.
I can turn the engine backwards or forwards by the screwdriver method but it will only turn about a half revolution before it just stops, locks up and won"t go any further.
There is zero movement of the drive shaft between the transmission and the rear end.
Jacked up rearend and the wheels will turn in opposite directions.
Pulled shifter arms out of trans and can see that the shifters all seem to be in neutral but??
Does anyone have any idea or have had such trouble before and share the solution with me.
