I'm finally working on the junkyard 4x4 Satoh Beaver.
It had a clanging noise in the gearbox and would not shift so I took the shifter plate off and drained the water/oil out.
So far I've found a bolt that was missing from the plate. (OOPS! Who needs that part?)
I'm sure there will be some other parts visible by tomorrow when everything drains out.
I found the shifter broken and one of the detent ball bearings missing.
It's probably in the bottom of the gear box.
Someone had done two small spot welds on the shaft in the past which failed.
My question is it worth trying to repair the shifter?
The PTO works but the lift does not go up.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth repairing or if I should part it out.
The 3 cylinder diesel runs good.
