Ric,

Big Dean and others on the forum will recommend that you always push DOWN on the gear shift when changing gear - apparently this helps to prevent jamming.

Hi,
Stuck in gear is not normally a big problem as you have found out from experience.
Make sure there is no tension in the transmission.
Block the clutch pedal down. Make sure the tractor is free to rock back and forth. You could even jack one rear wheel clear of the ground. Block the front wheel and let the brakes off.
Are you sure you are pushing on the right selector?
Looking through the oil fill it will be the furthest one that needs to be moved rearwards.
Check for wear in the gear lever pivot pin and cup.
Cheers
DavidP, South Wales

Glad to help. I keep a long screwdriver and a wrench for the plug in the fender box for this purpose. It seems mine hangs up when the front end is pointed down a steep hill and I try to go to reverse.
