I went to back the H out today to finish mowing a field and when I put it into reverse and let up a little on the clutch it acted like it was stuck in two gears, so I took it out of reverse and let up on the clutch and it wanted to move forward with the stick in neutral. I shut off the engine, pulled the gearshift and the rails were all in neutral. I put it back together and tried it again and could feel it lock in all gears except fifth. I was able to drive it the few feet back up into the shed by slipping the clutch, but it felt like it was in 5th. I am guessing that maybe the pilot bearing has locked up, or possibly the fork has become separate from the rail and 5th is engaged. I haven't had it in 5th for a couple of weeks, so that seemed unlikely. Does the pilot bearing idea make sense, or is there something else that I have not considered? I am going away for my annual bicycle trip to the Adirondacks early Wednesday morning, so I won't be opening it up till after I get back on the 16th. I have a 53 SH parts tractor and I am thinking that if everything is in good shape in it I might put that transmission in, or if it is not good I have a complete H transmission in parts that I will put in, since it has less wear than the one I currently have in there. I would like to have the higher 2,3, 4 that the SH has, if it is in good shape. Should I replace the differential while I am in there to avoid noise, or will it not matter? Any advice will be very much appreciated. The good thing is that I don't need the H too much at this time of year since the haying is done already. I'm sorry that this is so long. Zach
