Late WD (curved shifter) shift lever

several months ago, I posted a message and got some replies about a stuck shift tower. I got the tower back in neutral and then installed it. I went to put the lever back in and realized it slipped out of gear very easily and was loose in the tower. I have searched this forum for details pertaining to the shift lever specifications and I have not found anything conclusive. I was wondering if anybody here has any pictures, diagrams, or detailed descriptions about how to rebuild the shifter and also the dimensions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sometimes you can reduce the looseness of the shift lever in the tower, just by adding a shim under the snap ring that hold it in. Both the "ball" portion of the stick and the cup shaped "washer" that holds it down wear, but if not too bad you may be able to remedy with a machinery bushing type shim washer. A cheap and easy thing to try. In worse cases you will need to do what the others say about the bigger square heade pins and maybe even building up the ball. I have also succeeded by just building up the flat sided ball on the bottom end which is easier to do than building up the pivot ball. I don't have any dimension either, but the flat sided ball on the end should be symetrical and appear round when viewed from the side. I wish you well.

I have rebuilt a few WC / WD shifters. Here was my simplistic approach.

Most of the wear at the ball is obvious, particularily near the groove. I arc welded up as best as possible - putting enough bead to cover the worn groove. I rough ground the ball and slotted the groove with a right angle grinder. Then finished up with a large mill file to round the ball and straighten the groove. Fit the groove with the pin head - I have used a tight fit. Put a little weld on the tip too & file to size. There have been numbers published, but I eyeballed it.

Then take the shift tower off, and remove the forks. Weld and grind some more to get square slots. If you do one fork, you will have to do all 3. It makes it makes it easier to find each gear.

Reassemble with new pins from AGCO. A little more filling to make it work smoothly. Takes some time and handwork, but they shift well when done. I have not relined the tower pin holes. Doing the above tightens it up well enough.

Justin, I do not have part numbers or diagrams but i fixed mine last year. My cousin was a Allis dealer in the 70's and had what i needed. There is a larger "pin" you use to keep the shifter from turning side to side. We had to file the grove in the shift lever to make a snug fit. Some shifters have one pin, some have two. These are the pins with the square heads that your shift lever slides into. Check with your AGCO dealer. If you still need them i may be able to get a part number. Hope this helps.
