international 340 popping out of gear

I have this tractor which is labeled as a 340 utility. However, when I look at pictures of 340s the mid to rear of tractor does not match up to others I have seen. The issue is that the lever 1 circled will not stay in forward, it pops out under a load. When it pops out it disconnects from transmission and moves as if it were In Neutral.

When it wasn't popping out of gear as much, if I moved lever to the rear position, the PTO would still work but it wouldn't move. what lever is 2 that is circled? PTO engagement? I honestly never messed with it. The one on the left side that is near seat , beside 2 is a differential lock, have used that one.


Could some one help identify if indeed this is a 340 if so what variation or modifications have been made.


Also what the levers are called ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Your picture if you tried to post one did not show up . But i can tell you i have never seen a 340 with a diff loc. So ya want to try again .
 

I think you need to make a few more posts here before you're allowed to post pictures. Either post a few more times or else go down to the "Site Comments" forum and ask for permission. They will help you out.
 
What you might have is a 340 Industrial or a Utility model with a shuttle shift rather than a torque amplifier. Without pictures this is just a stab in the dark.

This probably isn't something you will be able to adjust away. Most likely there are some bad bearings in the shuttle transmission that will require splitting the tractor and removing it to replace. Bad bearings cause misalignment which then causes the gears to "walk" away form each other, resulting in the "popping out of gear" behavior you describe.
 

Hey thanks for the response! I will try to post pictures soon. There is a lever near the hyd. valves that spins almost 180 degrees and thats what i thought is the diff lock. IDK, but will post pictures as soon as I am able. Thanks for the response

Thanks for the response, did you get a chance to look at the pictures I finally got loaded up? I noticed that underneath the red paint there is some yellow, so I am wondering if it is an industrial tractor.
