The trans is OK the TA is probably OK and lets go forward with advice based on things mentioned below. There are three bolts holding the shifter to the platform. Remove all three. Look in the hole with a LED light or other good flash light. There are three shift rails in the hole each has a notch. Two are aligned about in the middle (front to back) one will be out of place. (it will be either the right rail or the far left rail, the center will be OK. Push in the clutch pedal and block it down all the way with a block of wood (be sure it is all the way forward.) next use a small pry bar or a large screw driver to move the misaligned rail back (or forward) into alignment with the others. if it will not move with modest force, the tractor will need to be rocked forward and back while prying on the rail. It will move if the gear tension is removed by rocking the wheels forward and back. Put the shifter back in the hole and make sure it is in the neutral position (moves left and right all the way) the trans is temporarily fixed. There is a picture on a recent post of the specifications for the tip of the shifter, it will need to be welded up and ground down to that size. (it is the same size for M and 400 Farmalls.)
Let the clutch back off of the block. The clutch is adjusted so that when pushed down by hand pressure to the point that you feel some resistance, that there is one and 1/8 inch between the platform and the place where the clutch touches the platform. This is free play. It is adjusted with the rod attaching to the clutch pedal, and will need the pin removed to allow it to be made longer or shorter. When this is done, the TA Must be adjusted. With the tractor on level concrete, the TA clutch (internal) needs to begin disengaging just as the main clutch is completely disengaged. This spot is a by the book process and is very important for the life left in the clutch , TA clutch, and gears. When the clutch pedal is fully depressed (as it should always be when shifting) Both clutches are disengaged. This allows free shifting and no excess pressure on the lever. If you feel like it is not your thing, (by the book is not complex but requires the book) then have a helper that does feel comfortable assist. It might just get by with a minor weld job on the shifter tip to make it good to go. Jim

Today's Featured Article - The Great Escape - by Dave Hollrah. It all began Monday with a little baling of second crop on the lake shore field, and as I drove out past my sister and her hubby's place, this small calling sound could be heard from the general direction of their manure pile. Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
