IH 186 hydro reverse problems

They just can't be fixed. Maybe ya should just wash yer hands of it and sell it to me? :>)

I want one of those gizmos so bad I can taste it. Perfect darned loader tractor to my way of thinkin'. :>)

Dunno, Owen may very well be right, but usually the thing will "jump" when that shuttle valve snap ring has come off or it's not centering right.

And again, when ya lose high pressure oil, you've lost it and it will affect both the forward and reverse directions; from either pressure regulator.

It is something that is directional. Either a pipe or a valve that only affects the one direction.

I'm still betting on the reverse check valve due to the fact that you've got problems in one direction only. Plus the fact, that this is the usual "high-wear" item on these things.

Good luck, hope ya get 'er straightened out.

Cap off those two pressure lines at the transmission, then give 'er a good road test.

This will make it a totally mechanical controlled outfit (you wanna have 'er out in the open when doing this as there is no more "clutch" and no more hydraulic buffering of the control; it's a bang-bang shifting, in/out deal).

If the problem is still there, you would then know the glitch is in the lower unit. If however, the problem disappears, you know the trouble lies upwards in the controls/hydraulics.

Be sure and let us know what you find, okay?
