With the impending storm in the North East I went to start my 7610s and I started fine. Let it warm up but apparently not enough. Pushed clutch done was having trouble shifting gears grinding a little ( it would not disengage ). Well I got the tractor into gear and then could not get it out. I panicked yanked on the shifter and now the shifter is in neutral , but the tractor is stuck in first gear. The high / low is still moving freely. It appears that I should be able to remove 10 bolts and remove the top plate on the trans and remove the shifter and fix the problem. Am I correct ?

it's REAL uncommon for that 8spd crashbox to do that.. but the 4 speeds of older vintage did it easilly.. usually due to wear in a shift pattern or on the nub.

you will need to put the range in neutral and pull the cover and pop her gates back to N for the main tranny, then look at the shift pattern and nub for wear.

I'm WAY surprised something as new as an 'S' model did it.. those trannies ( design anyway ) date to 65.. my 3000, 4600, 5000 have that twin stick tranny. course my 7610s does too.. etc..

post back what ya find..

if it was locked.. I'd have rocked the tractor a bit.. ort drove foreward some and then double clutched it and shifted it out with a lil momentum vs meathooking it. remember... it weas made to shift easy.. if it don't.. find out why before you slide the pipe on.

good luck.. hopefully nuttin has been damaged now.. or bent.

After removing the shield for the steering column , I pulled 11, 7/16 bolts out of the top plate. The shifter had popped out of the rail. Put it back in neutral, and reassembled. Thanks again Sound Guy for your help !

I have a thick NH tech manual for a 5610S,6610S,7610S I'd sell if you're interested. I owned a 5610S that a wire under cab shorted out and the tractor turned into toast.

Sorry it's taking me so long to reply. I'll take $125 plus shipping. I checked with Messicks and they stated a new one was $276. Mine has a few grease stains on a few pages but is very legible.
Thanks,Jim
