[Farmall] International A shifting lever problems

[ebony51 at frontiernet.net]

Jim,  That sounds about right from the parts fellow's description.  Short of oval shaped, he said.  Or ball-like but with the front and back sliced off---so it would go sidewise...as when in reverse.

Thanks

Larry

I think they all started out the same.  Sounds like yours is very worn.
