Ford 2000 lcg
Awhile ago an elderly neighbor of mine gave my and my brother her past husband's Ford 2000 lcg, we got it running recently but found the selecto speed cable was broken an had to open the transmission cover to get it out of gear (clutch isn't working) while running but smoke was pouring out of the transmission checking the Trans fluid there wasn't any on the stick. I was hoping to be put in the right direction on how to get this thing moving again

Welcome to TBN. There are some very knowledgeable Ford guys on here. Hopefully a couple of them will find this thread and help you. If you don't get help in a few days you might try starting another thread in the New Holland Owning Operating forum

1, pulling the trans cover without a book wasn't a great call, can damage some spendy stuff.

That aside, it has no conventional clutch.. Its a full powershift tranny. Its locked down when off. To tow/ move it you go to the rear inspection plate that has a strap shaped lever bolted in place, and throw the lever, its the traction disconnect, uncouples pinion from trans.

Unfortunately I itwas a friend who pulled the transmission cover off and I'm hoping nothing broke when he did. Now that is is in neutral it still is smoking quite a bit while running out of the Trans what could be causing this? And how should I go about repairing the Select-o-speed cable?

While what running out of trans?

Smoking. Have you changed fuel and oil? Any top cyl treatment on the rings?

I take it that the tractor is spewing smoke out of the trans case while running with the top off.

That would be.. Uh quite odd! ;)

I hope it isn't!

What my friend told me that once they got the engine running with the Trans cover off smoke was coming out of the transmission. What could be causing that?

smoke or oil vapor ( like from a low volume, high pressure leak )?

should be no SMOKE from the trans!

It mightbe oil vapor. He was saying it was looked smoke. could this be caused by low oil?
