Old Tractor Shift Problems

If your tractor is having shift problems, you cant shift into 1 or more gears, the stick is sloppy or feels disconnected, stick will not move side to side or feels stuck or broken... then check this first!!

Hi all we are in Australia and have a david brown 885 1974 model we use on our farm, today the key broke off, ordered another one from ebay ............. then ............ the main gear shift went very loose, so if anyone has any adivice or comments please tell us, we were glad to find this video to show us a bit about what it could be, cheers :)

1977 case 680 H backhoe can't get it out of neutral. Can you help?

[@rickfoster1197]

1979 Ford 1700, 12 forward speeds, 4 reverse, range shifter locked into highest range. I've been hesitant to take the cover off but I feel a little better about it now. How similar is my transmission? I'm thinking (if it's the same setup) it's the ball/spring breakdown you talked about. Thanks for the video, BTW.

[@AtlastaFarM]

Should be a Shibaura (Japanese) Ford model. Will be very similar to the one in the video.

Great video and explanation on tractor shifter problems and hang-ups. Thanks!
Makes me wonder why they won't put a grease fitting to keep shafts shifting slick.

Will not go into high side on a 770 case

[@glorymountain6238]

I have a Ford 4000 gas that you have to hold the shifter in reverse to keep it in gear. Everything works fine if you hold it in place. If you let go of the shifter it pops out of gear and will grind. Any Ideas what is wrong? And If I need to replace parts where might I get them?

[@AtlastaFarM]

Is it the naa bodystyle or the big blue box body?

[@glorymountain6238]

@@AtlastaFarM Sorry I am not sure

[@glorymountain6238]

It has one shifter, 3 forward and one reverse. The shifter has to be pushed down or pulled up then shifted

[@AtlastaFarM]

Ok the push pull shifter is 90% on the old body style tractors. Most likely you have a bent roll pin or worst case bent shift fork. It is not hard to do either one, just intimidating looking if you have never worked on a tractor before. I highly doubt it to be the problem.. but there is a slim chance the gears have worn teeth.. doubt this is the case as you would hear some bad music in the transmission. Best place for parts honestly is an older Ford New Holland Dealer (As in , been around a while). Yes more expensive, but also the best quality. and once fixed, most likely will never need to be touched again in your lifetime.

Can you do a Ford 3000? Mine seems to be stuck in 2 gears

[@AtlastaFarM]

We have a 3000 getting alot of work done, but videos will not be available until 2022
