I know this is an old thread but still relevant. I just picked up a 1964 2606 for a very cheap price. It has a smooth running 6 cyclinder diesel engine and was upgrade with an oversized Wain-Roy loader and Wain-Roy backhoe. I have been able to get most of the work done on it (fluid/filter changes, etc). It was sandblasted and repainted by the previous owner with heavy duty case yellow paint. I've whacked on it with hammers on accident and the paint still sticks.
The only two issues that remain:
1. The tractor has a direction reverser. It also has a shifter slot to slide into reverse but the reverse doesnt work from there, it only works from the reverser (which makes sense). However, I couldn't budge the lever for the direction reverser shaft. I finally got it free and it just barely grips the gear to send it into reverse (effectively making it have all gears in reverse) and I have to hold the lever otherwise it grinds. I opened up the cover to take a look and it doesn't fully engage the gear for reverse. I tried every adjustment and it still doesn't slide any further. It has some movement but now whenever I put it back into forward it usually gets locked up again and I cannot get it free without removing the cover and manipulating it with prescision tools (hammer and drift rod haha). Could it be possible that the selector is slipping and going beyond the forward gear (on the engine side) and is preventing me from getting back to neutral or reverse? My guess is that the slide is worn on the selector, does anyone have any experience with this to confirm what I should be looking at to replace first? Or if I can even find the parts to replace it?
2. the brakes need some TLC, that is something that can be addressed in due time.

Today's Featured Article - Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market.
