Thanks, but I hate bad news. I'm impressed with the way you have the pictures with writing on them.
I guess I'll rig up a bungee cord to hold it in gear till it finally quits or if I need a clutch first. Even Nascar drivers have to use a bungee cord to hold their car in gear sometimes. I don't plan on using it a great amount, (just out at my mother-in-law's farm), just to do misc. farm stuff such as move bales and some dirt work.
The ultimate question is that is it worth spending that much to fix it up? I may check around to see if there might be a gear at a tractor junk yard. Is the tranny, drive train, or rear end about to go also or do those not have much trouble?
I can deal with the regular maintenance, new brakes, fix hydraulic cylinder and valve leaks(although packing kits aren't cheap), probable engine overhaul coming up in a few years(it has plenty of blowby), probable tire replacement coming up sometime (one rear tire is cracked and has a cut going all the way around through the outer layer of rubber)(I hope it just doesn't blow out on me but it appears to have been there for a long time)
Outside of the reverser gear, are the rest of the drive trains reliable?
I may want your help on what it takes to do split the engine to do the work.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
