I pulled the cover off of trans as my 60 as been pulling itself out of gear. What I found was the shfiters are worn. I have 2 questions, first can you get these parts and also how hard is it to pull these out and what do I need to watch for. Thanks

Yes you can still get some parts but there is a catch. Some early 60's were bad about jumping out of gear and the trans shifters were redesigned. Later 60's were fixed with this new setup and JD sold a kit to fix the earlier 60's. They don't carry parts for the early 60's any more. Sorry I forgot this, hope yours is a late 60. The parts in the late 60's and/or the kit are identical to a 620. JD still carries some of THESE parts but hang on to your pocket book. The guy at Two Cylinder Plus (he advertises in Green Magazine)fixed mine up and told me of the trans fix from JD. He's got pretty good parts and his service he gave me was excellent. You will have to take the flywheel off and pull the clutch side off all the way to the frame (ie reduction gear cover.) These two items are heavy, so be careful. The shift shafts are held in the top of the trans with bolts that run thru the frame into a detent on the shaft. Pull these out and the shifting shafts will come right out of the sides, may have to tap LIGHTLY. A trick you can do on the shifting forks is some of the forks have detent followers that have pin holes in the top. Looks like a small rod sticking out of the top of the fork. Put a cotter key (or baling wire is my favorite) it then to keep them from falling out if badly worn and will also take pressure off of the shaft to help get the shafts out. A service manual can help out greatly here. This is just off the top and sorry it is so long. Hope this helps, email me if you need to, I did a complete trans last summer and IT WAS FUN. HB

The trans on the 620 will interchange with some parts on a 60, the 620 is an upgrade on a 60. The JD dealers parts book still lists parts for a 620 trans shifter, but they are high. Can still get the bearings too. Don't know about the rest of the trans. Sorry for the confusion. HB

How would I know if I have a old 60 or a new one?

da, check the serial number of the tractor and take it to your Deere dealer. One look in their parts book will give you the answer. If they can't answer then they aren't very good parts people!

Tractor serial may not work, some tractors were refitted after hitting the field.

About all I can tell you is to pull the shifters out and check the part numbers. The part I had to have was A5858R If you have that part on a shifter fork then your's is new. Order by parts numbers and you should be OK. Let me know what you find out. The guy at Two Cylinder Plus is pretty good on this stuff, don't know where you are at, he is in southewst Missouri. Sure there are some old tractor yards near you. Later. HB PS may want to check the shafts themselves to see if they are worn also.
