I had asked you guys the value of a 40-S a few days ago . I brought it home last weekend . Now I need some more help !I was warned that the shifter would get stuck in gear and it has a couple of times . The man I bought it from told me that the end would need to be brazed up where it is worn . I took it out and it has been brazed on one side before . I cannot post any pics yet so I will describe best I can . The end of the lever has a circular boss on each side of the shaft . If you were sitting on the tractor , the boss on the right side has not been brazed and shows little wear and projects about 1/32" from the shaft . The boss on the left side has been brazed . It projects about 1/16" from the shaft and looks pretty worn . I can braze it up here at work and machine it to whatever it needs to be . The question is , how much is it supposed to project from the shaft or am I barking up the wrong tree anyway ? Please help , I really like this tractor and am ready to put it to work ! Thanks ! Ford Man
