Kubota B21 HST Range Shifter stuck

[dirtrover]

Hope someone can help and to what to work on. Thanks.

The clutch and forward/backward are all working.

Seems to be stuck in low range (I can drive around). I can not get the range shifter lever to move around in the H pattern from the neutral position.

Don't know what happened - maybe the range was changed while on the fly?

Pictures attached - thanks for any help.

oops - here are some smaller pictures

You are stuck in M. Look at the two brackets surrounding the shifter in your second picture. They have turn buckles for adjustment and need to line up when you are out of gear.

Currently the M bracket is engaged. You need to be able to pull the shift lever toward you while at the neutral (center) position to switch to the high / low range bracket. After you adjust the turn buckles to line up the brackets when in neutral it should shift fine.

You may be able to reach in there and manually complete the shift to see how it works.

My B21 had a similar but lesser problem that caused intermittent shifting issues.

If you have questions send me a message.

Whatever you do, don't force it. Some of the shifter forks in there are
not real strong and are known to break.

Are there a lot of hours on this unit? Has the shifting been less-than-
smooth lately?

Mine does that on rare occasions and I can normally go in and move things manually to get them lined up. Like said don't use excessive force but I don't think you will have to.
