110 round fender transmission issue

I have a 110 round fender that actually has a couple issues going on. This was my grandpa's mower he bought new and my daughter has an interest in it, I think mostly because it looks like my 4010. Anyway, the first one is it occasionally jumps out of second gear. When I got it the trans was almost out of oil and I filled it with 80-90 gear lube. It didn't do this the first year we ran it but it does now.
The other issue is the speed variator doesn't slow the tractor down. It used to, and when I was mowing the yard with it it suddenly stopped working, I guess it just wants to go fast? The shieves move freely, belts are almost new and worked fine previously, and I don't see anything obviously broke. There is no resistance on the lever whatsoever.
Last thing is, where is a good place to get a service manual for it? I haven't started looking for one yet, but thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks, Tim
 
No resistance on the variator lever "probably" means the linkage and/or a spring is disconnected or broken
underneath the the battery base.
Jumping out of gear "probably" means the spring and/or detent ball has been broken or lost on the shift
fork inside the transmission.

You can download the 2300-series transmission manual from the Peerless Gear/Tecumseh website.
There is lots of good information on WFMachines.com and WFMfiles.com. The transmission manual available
on wfmfiles.com as well.
 
Pretty common for that detent spring to break, that would allow it to jump out of gear. There is a good video on Youtube for adjusting the variator.
 
I had one and worked for the dealer. They jump out of gear because they are shifted back between second and reverse while mowing. Pull the transaxle, take apart and replace some gears. The variator is just "dry" from sitting. Try lubing. Those drive units were too light for the use they got.
