Hey everyone. So, I got a really cheap Kubota L175 out of the 1970's that runs great and really only has one main problem - the transmission is stuck in first gear. When I first got the tractor, I took the shifter cover off and discovered that at least one of the "bars" that the shift forks ride on was frozen solid from some water that got into the transmission, so I said "lucky me!" and figured this would get it shifting.
So yesterday, I took the bars, the shift forks, detents, etc all apart and cleaned everything and put some grease on them and now the shift forks ride back and fourth perfectly and move as they should in all directions. Theres only one problem. THE TRACTOR IS STILL STUCK IN FIRST GEAR!!!
I can move the shift lever around and move it through all the gears. But no matter how it is set, the tractor always moves in first gear. Its very strange, I've never seen or heard of anything like it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what it might be? I'm positive the shift forks are on their respective gears, I made sure all 3 of them were engaged when I put the transmission back together. But like I said, no matter what gear you select, the tractor moves in first gear. Sometimes it feels like something is binding in there, but I dont know what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Its a 4 speed "crashbox" transmission.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
