Super 88 Shifter problems

I have a "55 Super 88 diesel that I"m trying to get running (working on mounting tires that hold air at the moment), and I have noticed that the shifter doesn"t work right. I can only get it shifted into 4th and R2 (sometimes) and I can"t get it into low neutral.

I"m guessing that this is a shifter rail problem, but I only have the I&T manual which doesn"t say hardly anything about the shifter rails.

I"ve never really done anything like this before (first tractor) and so I don"t really know how to approach it.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Take out the two bolts that hold the shift lever to the hyd. housing and raise the shift lever straight up. There is a gasket there that usually will stick. Be careful not to lose the 2 springs that go up into the shift lever collar. Take a long screwdriver or small prybar and try to move the shift rails below. If you can't move all three, you most likely have a rail or detent ball problem. You'll need to remove the hydraulic housing (assuming yours has hydraulics) and the top rear end cover. That will really open up your work area. The rails will be visable below.

I had one once that sat a long time and after driving it around it slung oil up there and it started working again.Maybe it just needs oiling.Get her running and this may work.Good luck,Jack(TN).
