[Farmall] It Runs!!!!!! (and a few questions)

Mon May 29 19:58:07 PDT 2006

Thanks,

Everytime I fixed the alignment of the gears and put the shifter back, it happened again.  Seems the shifter was leaving the proper area and when it did, it could then push the other gear around.  That is where having two F-20's comes in handy.  I took the shifter off my other one and it had pretty much no problems.  Took it back off, compared the two and the one that works is perfectlt straight from one end to the other, whereas the one that does not angles about 15 degrees at the hinge.  I am not sure why this would matter as long as it is in straight relative to the gears, but it seems to matter.  

This one also seems to have a different gear pattern.  There is no gear pattern marked on the shifter cover like on my other F-20.  Upper left from the assembled perspective) is still reverse, lower left is still first.  Can't tell a difference between lower middle and lower right, both seem like 2nd.  But the upper right, which on my other F-20 is 2nd, really hauls.  Maybe someone changed the gearing?

Thanks,

Tony

Slide the middle shifter rod forward so that the slot in all three  
shifters lines up. Then put the top back on making sure that the  
bottom of the gear lever goes into that slot - you can check it's in  
by  moving the lever from side to side before bolting the top back down.
