How do you replace the pin at the top of the transmission tower that keeps the gear shift lever ball from rotating. 1954 WD45
SN 185557. Just bought this tractor and getting familiar with it. Shift lever extremely loose, hard to find gears. Appreciate info.

Thanks,

Dan Glandt

Pull the rubber boot up and you'll find a snap ring. Remove the snap ring, and the lever pulls out along with a washer under the snap ring. DO NOT drop the pivot pin down into the tranny. Chances are you'll find the end of the shift lever pretty well worn too. The combination makes everything "loose as a goose" I believe a new lever is still available from Agco, but expensive. A friend of mine built his up with weld and reground it to how he thought it was originally. It worked better but not perfectly. He seemed to think the loose shifter contributed to the WD-45's habit of slipping out of third. I think the wear in the shift collar is the main reason for that problem, though. Brian G.

You can replace the Pivot pin with a oversized pin available from Agco. I drilled the hole to the proper size and then ground two parallel sides to match the groove in the shifter. The proper way is to have the grove enlarged. I did not have the grove cut as it was in good shape. I then reinstalled the shifter with a new shifter retainer, (the washer that fits over the shifter ball). I pushed the retainer as far down as possible and shimmed the gap between the retainer and the snap ring. I have not had any more trouble.
