I topping my field yesterday when my 1969 MF135 got stuck in 3rd gear. I could change from high to low ratio and even stop and start the machine but the gear stick would not move forward.
I left it overnight to cool down and in the morning started it and after a couple of goes managed to shift it into neutral. All other gears seemed to work fine and (fluid levels are correct) so I tried 3rd again and it got stuck. After another cool-down period it freed and so I have parked it up and will not use 3rd for the time being.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the cause is and what repair is necessary.
