No reverse

[PierreV]

I have a refurbished yanmar 2210BD purchased from a local dealer in NC, and have about 30 hours on the hour meter.
Very satisfied overall witih the tractor, front-end loader and attachments, however, my Reverse on the transmission quit working. When I first got it, everything worked fine, then at about 20 hours, when I selected reverse-0n-the-fly, nothing happens.

I've removed the shift control box on top of the transmission and checked the spring and the fork that goes into the top module. Nothing loose, spring is fine, no abnormal wear in the fork and connecting rod, (some wear, but was afraid to remove it and shim it up)

Very frustrating! Anyone have any ideas that I can check next?
Oil level is fine, loader works fine, all forward gears work fine.
Thanks, Pierre

If you just purchased it you should have a warrenty, or have you gone past your 60 or 90 days? This is a VN recon i assume?

Sorry to hear that just a word of caution "reverse on the fly" doesn't apply to a powershift trany you might have done serious damage to it I hate to say it but may be true!

Good catch, i did not read into it that way at first. I just saw how new it was and just would call the dealer, unless it was bought as is at anytype of a dealer not necisarily a yanny dealer.

But i have to agree with Doc, dont think its shift on the fly. I think the only thing that may even work for is the hydrstat type drives? I know my uncles JD with power reverser you also have to stop to throw the lever for reverse, although it operates totally different than powershift.

Yup as positive and quick as those shift I bet it busted it up somewhere inside sad to say it actually could be a common problem people doing it I can only imagine?

No, with the JD power reverser you shift between forward and reverse without having to stop the tractor. But that is because there are a couple of hydraulic clutches.

Then maybe thats not what he has? He has A-B-C range and 1-2-3-4 gears in each. On the dash there is a lever orange handled i think. YOu push it foward or backward to go foward or back so i guess you have 12 foward gears and 12 reverse gears, if i remember right? I always stop the tractor and clutch to go foward to reverse, thats what i was told to do so i do it.

Yes, this is a Viet Nam refurbisment. I have surpassed my warranty period, although the dealer has been very helpful. He's just as stumped as I am about this situation.
Thanks for your reply

Not a "true" reverse on the fly feature, but, on this model, you can shift and not use the clutch; You just have to come to a complete stop before using.
