Oct 2007 - Dad, It won't shift out of reverse !
|
|
My son was driving the 310 loader, leveling out the 20 tons of rock just dumped on our driveway when he comes to me and says; "Dad, the tractor won't shift out of reverse, actually it won't shift at all, the lever is loose"
Ya, right. Sure enough the stick shift handle just flops around in the transmission. Based on where the tractor was sitting and the fact it was in reverse, I was able to pilot the tractor into the shop on reverse only.
I grabbed the parts book, thank God I have one, and, it looked like the easiest 1st step was to take the snap ring out and pull the shift lever out. When we compared our lever to the parts book, there was something missing.. The end of the shaft. Looking down the hole we were finally able to locate the missing piece, but our magnetic retriever was too weak to pull it out and the piece slipped further into the transmission. We had to remove the "control cover and Guide plate" from the side of the transmission to get the part out. Confirming that in fact the level has broken in two.
The lever appears to be made of cast iron and it was welded previous in a different spot before even my dad owned this tractor.
Well, a day and $15 at the local welding shop and the lever was back together.
The really fun part was that when we removed the "control cover and Guide plate" the forks that shift the gears in and out of mess pulled out and then NOTHING lined up right. After 2 hours of work, and having to take the floor pan out to get a better look at things, we finally got the forks lined up and back in place..
At least it was that simple, not like we lost a joint or gear or something.
