Massey 50 issues Transmission

Same tractor as before, I was bush hoging with it and got into a situation I couln't go over so i decided to back out.

When I put it in reverse, it went forward.

It seems to be stuck in second or something because when it is in neutral it still goes forward. when I put it in second it acts like its in forward and reverse at the same time because it bogs the engine.

Someone said I could put it back in gear by sliding the carriers on the three rails by looking in the oil filler, but I only see two rails.

Nothing I do gets it back in gear.

last resort is to pull the steering cloumn
whith the engine failing I am inclinded to let whoever rebuilds the engine for me to put it back in gear.

My only reluctance is that I know that's going to cost money, and I'd rather put all the money into the engine.

It's a really sweet engine that looks like someone who knew what they were doing resolved the interior cylinder wall cracks. there are two high strength torsion bolts between the cylinders. VERY NICE JOB!

any suggestions on the transmission before I turn it over to the mechanic?
 

If you look through the filler hole, you will see the rails.. If it is stuck in second, the rail closes to the hole will need to go towards the engine to the center.. make sure the shifter will slide side to side when you have it back in neutral..

The best way to make sure this doesn't happen again is to, make sure you get the rail completely to the center before you move it across to the other rail..

I have a 135 that needs a new shifter.. It will do the same thing a hundred times a day if you don't take caution to make sure the rail is in the center before going into another gear.
 
I have moved a few things around and have only succeded in getting it out of gear (not in gear while shifter appearsw to be in neutral, but I can not control reverse and probably soemthing else...still bogs in second.

I read another post about a similar problem. it says pull the pin on the shifter and remove the shifter...BUT... My shifter seems to be attached to some kind of spring...when I lift, it pulls back. I am afraid to yank it out for fear of doing greater damage.

Like the other article, my shifter is held in by a drift pin...pretty easy to remove and put back in.
