Many years of dust, dirt , mud, manure and rust will jam up the shift linkages.

Not on that linkage layout.....I would first check cab mounts then lean towards top shaft issues.

Thanks can I repair the problem if it is on the top shaft without removing the cab

I do but not everyone does. I split at clutch housing/transmission then roll out from under cab. Rockshaft needs to come
off as well

How many man hours do you save by rolling trans/diff from under cab vs removing cab then splitting tractor?
Thanks,Jim

Sudden failure or gradual ?
Has someone towed or coasted the tractor down hill ?

Jim The biggest savings is in not having to break the AC system open. Also I can have the rear half rolled out in about the time it takes you to remove the cab. You just need to support the back of the cab. I have jacks that I made that do this. I would say on a complete job it saves 3-4 hours.

This only applies when doing a transmission split only. If you have to split at the cutch housing then it is quicker to lift the cab.

I do not know I bought this tractor on a farm
Sale and this is what I got thanks for any help
You can give me

You won't beat my time taking a cab off and splitting in my shop, and 90% of the time the shrader valves hold the Freon, if they don't 5 cans at 4 bucks a can is not much.I find this method much quicker and easier..

I don't understand your statement "remove cab to split at clutch housing"? I've witnessed many Newer Gen's split at clutch housing with cab still in place.
Thanks,Jim

I really cant compare the two methods as this is the way I've always done it. I agree that it saves opening an AC system
which was a touchy subject back when R12 was being phased out. The biggest reason I do it like this is because the shop I
started in didn't have clearance to lift the cab.

I couldn't beat your time on anything!
