W6 stuck in reverse

Posted by Rob Johnson on February 13, 2004 at 20:59:52 from (203.87.8.105):

I lent my trusty ol' W6 to a neighbour , went to check on them a little while later , they were jammed in to a fence , stuck in reverse !.
The tractor has never given gear selection trouble before !.
I tried to get the lever out , but it looks like a "farmer repair" job , it has a bolt replacing the pin , and i can't stop it from turning , it looks like the head was ground off !.
I think I will -
1/ jack the nearside wheel up, and try to get the lever back in to the reverse position.
2/weld something on to the bolt , so that i can hold it , to undo the nut.
3/Replace it with an original gearlever and pin from an AW 6 parts tractor , that are in VGC.
My question is , the casting in the gearbox housing is very loose , how will I tighten this up , for the pin ?.
What electrics should i remove from the tractor , before I stick weld ?.
Regards Rob Johnson.
