I have a 2002 Deere 5220 mfwd straddle mount tractor with a synchshuttle transmission. I bought it running but with the clutch non-functional and an issue with the front hub. I have resolved both of those issues and the new clutch works fine. I am able to use all 3 ranges and all forward gears, but it will not go into reverse in any range. It feels like the shifter will not fully engage in gear.
I intend on taking the trans top cover off this evening and inspecting the shifter pivot, the shift rod drive dogs and contact points, and seeing if I can get an inspection cam on the reverse shift fork/idler gear/driven & drive gears.
Does anyone have any experience that they could share? Anything in particular I should be on the lookout for?
