Transmisson problems

Any thoughts on where to start?
it is an 8N with the 4 speed trany.

Don't try to find any more gears.

Try to shift back into 1st gear.. then shift out to neutral. If that does it.. you are ahead of the game.

In eaither case, you will need to pull the shifter cover ( watch out for flying detent spring ), and if not in neutral, then nudge the shift forks back into neutral. Then observe the bottom nub of your shifter.. see if it is worn down.. if so you will need to braze or weld it up.. or replace it. Also a good time to inspect the shifter patter sheetmetal jig under the top cover to make sure it is not excessively worn.. and to check for wear ont he shifter forks where the nub from the gearshift rides.

If you are real lucky.. no teeth popped, and it will go back to neutrral easy.. and then you can weld up the ball on the botom of the shifter.. and then file or groind into good fitting shape, and then not mess with it for another couple decades..

So, you need to make your best guess as to which gear that is.

If the tractor is going pretty quick but is still controlable on rough ground to extent you think you could ''work'' in that gear, and you don't have to ''slip'' the clutch much to get it going from a dead halt, it is probably third.

If you have to give it a fair amount of throttle and slip the clutch quite a bit to get it going, and it is going so fast it doesn't feel safe except on a smooth surface like a road, it's probably in fourth.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
