Ford 4000 (801) No First Gear
Just picked up a Ford 4000, gas, 4 cyl, 4 sp, mechanically a 801 I'm told. Tractor will not go into first gear. Doesn't grind, slips into the slot for first (I believe), let out on the clutch, nothing. I'm waiting on my manuals to arrive, but in the interim, has anyone had this happen? Can it be fixed just through the top of trams or does it need to be split? How hard is it to split these?
I'll get some pics and video when I get out there once the sun comes up.
