560Dennis 1,261 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Is the transmission differential locked up ? Does it shift into forward gears ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoshoe 353 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I think it might be safe to say. The problem is between the shift knob and the reverse idler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Farmall Doctor 361 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Does the shift lever go into the reverse slot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robrj1951@aol.com 0 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 The shift lever will go from park to the mid position but no further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scraglycat 282 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Simplest solution first would be dry or seized detent roller in the shift plate mechanism. Douse it down with lots of penetrating oil. I fought mine for a couple years, I'd pull the lever with one hand and hit it with the other to get it into reverse. At times when I would shift to park it would drag the high low linkage into high, so I'd be stuck in both park and high range at the same time. Started dismantling things expecting to have issues under the range cover, but after disconnecting the linkages it was obvious that all my problems were in the shifting plates. Got them lubed up good and it shifts like a dream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
