Hi there, new to the board but hoping someone can give me some pointers before I blindly tear into the transmission.
The other day I was plowing some heavy snow and I put my 8N in reverse. The rear wheels were spinning a little in the snow and the engine was laboring (nothing too new here, been doing it like this for years). Then, the gear shift lever popped into neutral range. I pushed the clutch in real quick, made sure that it was in neutral and slowly let off the clutch. Reverse was still engaged (wheels started to spin). I pushed the clutch in again and shifted it into 1st. As I slowly let out the clutch, the engine bogged and the wheels didn"t turn (gear locked). I then shifted it back into neutral and let the clutch out and all was fine. At that point, I took it slow and worked it through all the gears and they all work (even reverse). But now, if I am in reverse and the tractor is under load, the same thing will happen - the gear shift lever jumps into reverse (even though the clutch is still out and the tractor is going along in reverse), then I have to be real gentle with the clutch and shift it into a forward gear just slightly to seemingly get the tranny to drop out of reverse. But as long as I don"t labor the tractor in reverse, it works just fine. Pulls in all forward gears without any sort of issue.
What did I do? I read a bunch of forum answers about the shift gates possibly being an issue. Any ideas if it"s this simple of a fix (new shift gates, and NOT new gears or something)?

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
