I HAVE A IH 986 TRACTOR W/CAB. IT IS HARD TO GET THE TRACTOR INTO HI OR LOW WITHOUT SLAPPING THE LEVER AHEAD OR BACK. COULD THE LINKAGE JUST BE WORN? IF SO WHAT WOULD I BE LOOKING AT COST WISE AND TIME TO REPLACE ?

Th e problem is more than likely just the Hi-Low shifter in the range cover. Take the seat and whole shifter assembly out as directed earlier, Now towards the rear of the opening you made from all the removal, there are 2 flat straps with a 5/16 bolt holding them on.The one towards the center is the HI-Low shifter the other is the reverse shifter. Now one or both of them will most likely be very loose and this is the problem sometimes you can just remove the strap and flip it over and reinstall with red locite (the way the flat sided hole was punched it is tapered turning it overmay tighten it up)If not the Cheap way is to center the strap in the slack and weld it to the shifter shaft. Which won't cost anymore to someday fix right because the shifter shaft is already worn out anyway. Don't weld the reverse shifter though, just the HI-LOW

Well first off i would start with doing a clutch adjustment along with the dump valve and tranmission brake . Next i would check and make sure that there is no damage to the intire clutch linkage . Next check the cab mounts for any setteling . THEN i would get into the linkage and i am here to tell ya that they are a real apin in the donky to work on and you will learn new works to work by . First the seat must come out then the shift cover then ya can get to the shifter mech. and remove it from the tractor and get it on the bench to work on it one thing i learned along time ago is do not use oil or grease tryen to make it move more smoothly use graphit , oil or grease will trap dust and dirt and gum up the works.
