Range Selector Stuck in Low

[jcri]

Wondering if anyone here has experience with a problem like this? I have a Kubota L4310. I was using it last week moving some dirt and gravel with the loader and switching between low and medium range here and there. All of the sudden when I went to switch back from low to medium or high as I was ready to head back to the barn, it won’t shift into anything else but low. The lever feels really sloppy, but really always has since I’ve owned it. I’ve tried looking it over really good and even took the top metal cover off next to the seat thinking I could get a better look at the linkage, but I can’t seem to determine what is wrong. I don’t know if something on the linkage has come loose or broken or if it’s internal. I wish I had a picture of another L4310 HST linkage to compare it with to see if something looks out of whack. Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with my Kioti DK35SE HST. It turned out to be the roll (aka spring) pin for the linkage:

I checked Messicks for your tractor and it appears to be a similar setup. So that is one possibility.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that was not it. I've not resolved it yet, but I've not taken it apart to investigate further yet. If anyone else has any ideas on what might be the problem, I'm all ears. Thank you.
