Jim A;

Everything Dan said is correct. The plates with the ridges are what we call "detents" and can be changed by removing rivets. Basically in 06/56/66 shifting it does not have to be any one item. Rather, a small amount of play in the whole linkage can add up. Usually though, I have found the best area to start is the shift levers and ball& socket connectors. On one of my 856's I changed the bushing which the shift levers actually ride on. I.H. part man said no such thing until I took a picture of it. I don't remember the part # but it is a brass bushing found on the steering colunm itself. Also the High/Low/Reverse shift lever pivots on a bolt with a shoulder and was wore pretty good.Replacling both this bolt and the bushing took most of my play out without much cost or time. So in my opinion start with the shift lever pivot areas first. Most of the wear items can be found aftermarket to keep your costs down. I believe the yard I work at can even get an overhaul kit for the shifting, but I don't know what all is included or the price.
