Farmall 300 - Fifth Gear

Posted by GooseCreek Farms on March 10, 2006 at 16:42:56 from (152.163.100.65):

I just finished replacing a couple of transmission gears in our Farmall "300". While putting the tractor back together and moving the gears by hand, I noticed that the fifth gear teeth just barely engaged into the transmission drive shaft. The gear actually hits on the lower counter shaft "constant mesh gear" and only engages about a 1/16 of an inch into the drive shaft. There is no doubt that if I finished putting the tractor back together it would NOT stay in fifth gear. My question is; is there a (optional) spacer that can be put in front of the bearing cage on the counter shaft assembly? When I tore the counter shaft apart to replace the gears there was no spacer. My I&T shop service manual shows what looks a spacer, but does not spell it out in the parts listing below. I see no other adjustment I can make and it appears to me that a 1/8 inch spacer in front of the counter shaft bearing cage would move the complete counter shaft forward and allow fifth gear to completely engage. I would appreciate your thoughts and feedback on my problem.
