I've heard of those kits too, but I do not know what they consist of. Really, if you get yourself a manual and keep the shift linkage, clutch, transmission brake, and dump valve adjusted, they aren't that bad, but still worse than the 26/56/66 series. Getting caught in two gears is a sign of serious wear and misadjustment. It does happen quite a bit on the 86's, so if you notice that the tractor is hard to get in or out of the Range gears- Hi, Lo, and R, get it looked at right away. It happens when shifting from Hi or Lo to reverse. There is so much slop in the linkage that the lever can be moved back to N before disengaging the gear you were in. You move over to R, try to move, notice that the tractor seems bound up, try to shift back to N, but can't, because the Hi/Lo linkage is out of line. If you think this has happened, shut off the engine, as trying to move in two gears will do major damage. To get it unstuck, you need to pry the Hi/Lo linkage under the cab back to N, then do the same for the R linkage. Really got to be familiar with them to be able to identify the linkages under there, which is why it's a very good idea to get suspected problems looked at before it gets that bad. Call the dealer and tell them you want the clutch, dump valve, and transmission brake adjusted before they bring it out, and also have them check over the shift linkage.
