Ya know Bob, what amazes me is this. On my M, when I had this problem, I removed the plugs, pushed out the pin, built up the lever, put back in the pin, and replaced the plugs. It was AT MOST a 30 minute fix.

Now on this H, the lever was never built up, it must have got caught in gear a lot - so they left out the plugs. So tonight as I'm flushing the antifreeze, it gets caught up in reverse. I had already built up the lever, but the stinking PIN CAME OUT! So here I am with a screwdriver and a flashlight, rocking the tractor with my shoulder while I pry it back into neutral. I spent at least 15 or 20 minutes on this. I just don't understand these "field repairs".

My pops, while he was never an educated man, was always a man of common sense. Two sayings he had come into play here. First, do it right the first time, it don't get expensive until you do it the second time. That sort of touches this, as I imagine there were plenty of times that this thing sat for that 10 or 20 minutes with the bailer behind with a rain cloud on its tail. Second, Fix it right away or pretty soon you'll end up fixing everything.

Thanks Bob for your help.
