The high range is out on the 454 Int'l. We know part of the shifter fork is broken -found it in the bottom of the transmission a while back. My mechanic sez it will be between 3 and 4 thousand dollars to break it down and repair it. I wanted to put in used parts from a salvage yard but he sez no -the wear on the gears won't match up. Is this possible?
Is this a reasonable price? Another customer came in with a quote for his tractor from the jd dealer for a minor transmission job (won't go in reverse) for 5 thousand on a hundred h.p. tractor. My 454 is a smaller tractor - 38 h.p. and I would think a lot easier to work on.
I figure a day to break it down, a day to replace the parts and a day to put it back together at about 60 per hour. Fifteen hundred plus parts?
I wonder about this repair place - when I drove up today they were trying to push it inside the yard but couldn't- I had left the emergency brake on when I dropped it off and they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't roll in neutral.
Anybody out there have a 454 with a similar problem? Any suggestions. The tractor is about a 72 model. I have gotten by with it in the lower 4 gears but need more speed when mowing hay and moving from one field to the other down the road.

Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
