I was using my 135 diesel last weekend and all was well. At one point I shifted into 2nd gear and now it seems stuck in gear. I can still shift the H/L range shifter and the clutch works fine. I tried parking on level ground and rocking the tractor back and forth while trying to shift back to neutral with no success. Any suggestions?

Big Dean's site has the following instructions. The previous posts are correct, but Big Dean provides a little more detail. C. T. Pull your filler plug for the transmission look inside you will see a big gear. Find a level spot shut off the tractor. Push the clutch down & put the high low shifter in neutral to relieve any pressure that might be on the gears. With a long screwdriver or a small pry bar pry the big gear forward if it is hung in reverse. Pry it back if it is hung in first gear. If you happen to go to far it will go in the other gear. You need to get it in the center. You should be able to feel the detent balls pop in the grooves in the shift rail as you move the gear. Through the years I have probably unstuck at least a 1000 of them this way. It is a common problem on the Massey tractors after they get a little wear on them

Get in the habit of pushing down(not lifting up) on the gearshift when switching gears and they won't get stuck.

my 35 will do the same thing and like he said take out off the trans filler cap flashlight and long screwdriver and line it all back up (set the brakes also and do it on level ground so there is no tension in either direction or you might have to push in the clutch while you try to line it back up)sometimes my 35 will get stuck between 2 gears on a hill and i will have to do it this way.

Same thing happened to my MF240 last fall, Through the help of this board I got it fixed. Remove the trans oil fill cap and take a long screw driver and flash light and line up the shift rails. It may take a wiggling, but it will work. Good luck, Dave
