I have had to pull the shift tower out of my 53 WD because it would go into reverse and 1st or reverse and 3rd or 1st and 4th at the same time anyway the pins and springs were meseed up in the rails and one of the forks ended up with a big chip missing so I found a salvage unit...it is in great shape BUT HOW THE HECK do I get that darn thing back together so that all three forks are in their correct slots on the gears????? If anyone knows FOR SURE!! what the trick is please, Please, PLEASE let me know! If you are not sure if your trick will work save it for someone else I already have about 5 hours in trying to get things right. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help!!I had to try it a few times so I used all of the aproaches you guys sent.....BY FAR the shift fork in "R", tranny in "R" is the way to go!!! put it in, started her up and gave it a shot , took it back apart put in the gasket, put it back together and did another test run through all of the gears all in less than 30 minutes. Everything in "N" did not work so well. I had tried that a few times with no luck and FYI I had better luck with the shift lever out. Thanks again!!!

I find it easier to reinstall if I put the tranny and the proper fork into reverse- then it slides down into place easier. Proper fork for reverse is on the far left. Push it forward, have the shift lever installed in the tower.

Fuzz, I just performed a repair on my WD-45 involving pulling the shift tower. The trick is to place the tractor in 2nd gear prior to pulling tower. I took digital pictures of the exact placement of the gears, shifting forks position and everything else I thought would be beneficial to replacement. The ball on the shifter handle had to be built up and ground to shape. The tower went back in smooth as silk with no issues. If you respond to this, I'll send you all the pics I have from my work PC which is much faster than this dial up I have at home.

I read your posting because I am having trouble with a WD transmission and shifter. The Lever goes in the tower, but will not move the gears. The forks are in the right slots but the shifter does not move in the forward or reverse direction. This is a late WD (53) with the second type of transmission outlined in the manual (with curved shift lever). Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated.
