My Neighbor has a TO20, and there is what appers to be a 5 or S as one of the gears. The shifter wont go up in there though. Anyone know what it is? I know this is a dumb question and could probabally answer it myself if it were a Farmsome.

if its worn like mine you don't even have to pull up on the shifter,it will just go right to it.

I am not by any means an expert but here is my 2 cents - Is there a 1" dia brass button to the RH side of the tractor? (located where the transmission housing is connected/bolted to the rear section - more or less in line with the front of the seat)If so, that button must be pushed in to allow you to put the stick into "S" It is a safety feature to prevent you putting it into "S" while the tractor is already running. When the stick is in "S" the starter motor in engaged by a series of levers and rods. Please note - the stick will not automatically dis-engage out of "S" (start)when the tractor is started, you must manually dis-engage. Hope this helps. Eoin.

That is only fitted to the TEF Diesel which was not available in the USA

Eoin,

Where are you located? I am assuming Europe. I have never seen this brass button on the early TE/TEA or and TO tractors.

Perhaps it is a feature only on specific models. What tractors have you seen this on.

This sounds interesting can you provide more information?

It is fitted only on the TEF which is a Diesel model and it was never sold in the USA

The "S" position engages the starter. You have to pull up on the shifter to get it into the position. However, someone may have bypassed this and rigged up a different starting method.

Yup, pull up on shifter,--be prepared though-when you push it into position it will engage starter and try to start. Pretty cool. On my 30, I also have to lift up to get her into "R".
