That sounds familiar. I think it's the fuel filter. Not 100% sure though until I see it.

Hahaha. Not necessary, a very kind gesture though, but thanks anyway.

Sorry, didn't mean to leave a blister. :laughing:
Here is an update on what the Nortrac 3500B/Bradco backhoe and my 69 JD1020 Diesel have been helping me complete over the last 6-8 months.

Very nice. Good work. What a story about the cows.
Hey everyone.
It has been awhile since I have posted.
I have been consumed with working on the jd 1020D and just recently got her up and running again.
Check out my other thread below that has been a work in progress for some time now. Big shout out to Tx. Jim and others who have helped me on the old girl. Gotta love the old iron diesels.

Now back to my dozer. Over the winter I took out two of the Bradco backhoe cylinders and had those rebuilt.
They were leaking and just needed some good R&R.
It is relatively dry enough here in Western Wa. that I wanted to take it out last night into the pasture. To work the new cylinders, get to tear out some blackberry bushes, and move some rocks.
Well I made it about 15ft out of the barn before my hi-gear selector shaft sheared at the bottom. This was around 6 p.m. last night. Needless to say I was pissed, but I decided to well look into what the **** just went wrong.
I took the top cover plate off, after disassembling both gear selector shafts. The springs, boots, etc.
I then had to drain all of the transmission fluid to find the end of the shaft that obviously was gone. I needed a long magnet stick to get to it.
Please see the photos below. Can someone help me source this part? Or can I have it welded back up? If I can have it welded/fixed does it need to have that same shape as the low-gear shaft? That tapered end?
What material is this shaft made of?
Thanks for the help in advance!!!
