Tractor just stopped

[shagphil]

Today while bushhogging with my Century 2535, it just stopped. The motor runs, the front lift works, the rear lift works, bushhog works, but it won't go forward or backward. I made sure the transverse level had not sliped out and also check that it was in gear, not neutral. Everything seems to be OK, but it just won't move either forward or backward. Any suggestions?

Unless it would happen to have a coupler between the output shaft of the transmission, and pinion shaft of the differential like on my Massey 180.

It is an internally splined collar, that is only held in place by a good sized cotter pin on the 180, and goes through a hole in the collar, between the ends of the shafts, not allowing it to move. If that pin would happen to come out, it will let that collar slide, and cause the same sypmtoms.

If you have access to a exploded parts list, you may check and see if it is set up this way.

What type transmission HST or geared with a clutch?

DJ54...I have no parts list. Been trying to find repair manuals but since Bronson took over Century getting info from Bronson is like finding hen's teeth.

Dex3361...It has a clutch with a "forword" and "reverse" lever on the steering column...so that would be "clutched" right?

Thanks to all who responded. Located problem. Cotter pin on end of second gear shift lever had been pulled out apparently by a small bush.

Pin replaced, gear engaged, tractor running as before.
