Lee: Every 5 or 5 & 2 speed Farmall that ever had a loader for very long got stuck in two gears. Quite common for a loader tractor to shift 50 times for every shift of a deawbar tractor. If your going to use gear shift lever and those shift rails, they do wear out. Another reason they are a poor loader tractor.
My 300 had a loader most of it's 20,000 hours, gear shift lever rebuilt 6 times. My 560 probably did 2,500 hours loader time and had shift lever rebuilt once in 11,000 hours. My 656 probably saw less than 200 hours of loader work and never locked up in 15,000 hours. I did replace the pin on shift lever shaft but not the shaft.
Some day your working your tractor, count the shifts per hour doing loader work, then count shifts per hour disking or baling, etc. My 1066 never had the shift mechanism rebuilt in 15,000 hours, never had a loader. I've seen it work 24 hours on the clock, probably went to neutral dozen times, 4 speed never shifted and TA maybe 50 times. That doesn't wear out shift linkage very fast. Compare that to a loader tractor that probably gets shifted 100 times per hour.
