john deere 820 shifting problems

[banditman]

the other day raking with a john deere 820 the right shifter wouldnt shift into park or II so i pulled the top of the trans off and found a 2 inch long by maybe 1/4 inch diameter tube laying in the shift fork which was keeping the shift lever from being able to shift. Does any body have any idea what that could be?? The trans shifts fine now but that piece of tube came from somewhere.

820 with 2 cyl only park function was locking both turning brakes. It would be interesting to see photo of tube Banditman removed from shifter rail tab.

The 3 cylinder 820, 1968-73 model we can presume?
Most likely part of a transmission lube line.

Will need to hear back from banditman to know for sure.

TT may have it pegged correctly.

yes its a 73 3 cylinder diesel

The three point arms on this tractor have never worked right. They kind of bounce and shake when you raise them could this be the cause?

Probably not related. That sounds more like the lift cylinder has a leak/bad oring or the pump has a bad piston/valve. Does the 3pt stay in the up position after the tractor has been shut off?

Poor trans shifting & hyd's on a '73 JD 820 have no affect on each other. How many hrs of use since hyd filter was changed & hyd oil suction screen che3cked/cleaned?

The screenshot doesn't mention cleaning the suction screen. That's normally done every other oil change.
