Hello wesuri, can you provide a photo of the gear stick layout and badging please? Also include a photo of the levers below the draft you are not sure of.
I am aware of an 8x2 and a 12x4 gearbox but don't recall a 12x12/ What country are you in as you may have different options to new zealand.

375 12+12 is common I Europe

Hello again wesuri, I have been talking to an MF man.
With the gear stick in neutral, push the stick to the right, when you encounter resistance push firmly to the fight so you go through the detent . Shift the gearstick forward to engage H high( I believe you are in M range from your description) range, then return to regular neutral and you will have engaged H high range.
To down shift from H to M range repeat the above.
To go from M to L range , go through the detent and shift BACK to engage L low range.
The gears in the range change detent are from front to back H,high M, medium neutral, L, low.
NOTE there are H, M, L, light on the dash board to tell you what range you are in. It is quite common for these light bulbs to blow, especially with age.
Last Note, the gear linkages have a small needle bearing inside the gearbox that gets worn and falls off the shaft into the bottom of the gearbox. To fix this you will have open the gearbox up from the top.I was told it is a big job to unbolt all the stuff to get into the gearbox, and once there it is a simple job to replace the gear linkage bearing.
good luck.
and do give some feed back, that is how this site works.

I would like to thank both replies and i was trying to get photos online but couldn't work it out.
I would especially like to thank redman as after following your instructions the penny finally clicked and I got it sorted!
Once again thanks to you both

Nice to hear it was just an unfamiler gearbox and not a broken part that was stopping you.
