So tractor is split. It appears that the same shaft and bearings I replaced previously moved and threw the alignment of the gears out. So hopefully when I get them aligned back up everything will work.
BUT! While checking all other gears and bearings I noticed the 1st/reverse rod didn’t appear to be hitting any detents. So I pulled it out and realized that the spring and ball bearing was compressed by a transmission cover bolt, therefore it wasn’t setting correctly. All good. Heres the BUT, while putting in a roll pin the rod snapped in two. So now on a holding pattern till I order this $270 rod.
I do have another question. These two bearings have a 8x1.25mm bolt that acts as a set screw. No dimples in bearings to set them in. I over torqued one the first time and cracked the race. Was a little leary in tightening them to tight and I think this is why they moved. Any recommendations?
Thanks for all the help and conversation.
