It only had to make one more week!

Well we had about a foot of snow since yesterday, and the driveway needed it bad. This weekend I was scheduled to replace the clutch. It has not been slipping, but getting it into gear takes special attention not to grind. This is a problem that has been around for some time. "One should not look a gift tractor in the mouth".

Getting back to the story.. Was plowing this morning and I went to carefully put it into reverse, and the gearshift just kept going. It did land in reverse, but it was obvious that there was a problem. I pulled it back out of reverse with no problem, put it in 3rd and went for the barn...

Any thoughts on what the problem is.. There gears seem to be there. Seems to be an alignment problem. Can I diagnose the problem from the top-end?

Pull up the rubber boot at the bottom of shift
lever and look for a pin engaged in two slots.
On my tractor, this pin was worn and really gave
a sloppy shift action. I suppose if it broke it
could cause the problem you described. It is
very easy to just take a look.

Take the cover off and look at the gate mechanism and the shifter. The end of the shifter can get worn and it gets real sloppy in the gate. I built up mine with weld and re-ground it to the original square shape.

Also look for rusted parts, sometimes shifters become "Rusty" from "High amounts of water" from lets say..... sitting in tall grass?????

Just a thought!

later,dave

Well,

Everyone was right! Weak spring, broken pin, slopply metal on the corners of the metal bracing. I found a used cover, and I am back in business!! Thanks for reassuring me that it was not a big deal. PTL
