I have a chance to pick up a JD A for a very reasonable price.The problem with it is it is very hard to shift.It looks like someone cobbled shims over the spring where the shifter enters the cover.My guess is the shifter is worn or the rails may be sticky/dirty.It doesn't appear to be too bad of a job to remove the cover to repair the shift linkage.Any of you folks ever run into a problem like this?How difficult was it to fix?Does the cover come straight off the top as it appears? I'm new to John Deere so I need some expert guidance.

Diesel Don, without knowing the year & type of "A" you are working with this will have to be general. The shifter cover will just lift off [after everything is loose on top]. ~Your hard shifting could be anything from rust on the shift rails & detents [common], to lack of lubrication due to setting for a long time, to frozen water in the gear oil, to bent sliding gear shaft splines, to varnish build up on the internal parts, to someone having shimmed the detents to keep it from popping out of gear. ~The shift rails, gears & shifter forks are easy to see & access when the cover is removed, but if removal is required it becomes a pretty good job. ~Usually the hard shifting problem isn't a big deal & can be made better with the cover removed using penetrating oil & some imagination. Maybe just driving it for a while will toss enough trans oil on the shifter parts to make it shift easier. The old 2-cylinder Deere's are also known for having water in the trans oil if they sit outside.
