In Reply to: farmall m stuck in gear, motor won't turn posted by bobby on Thursday, June 19, 2008:
John M already gave you the answer, just pull the shift lever out and line up the shift rails from above, the pin on the shift lever is held into housing with a welch plug on each side, just drive a sharp punch into plug and it will come loose so you can remove it and the pin can then be tapped through to other side. Seems like an awful lot of people are getting stuck in two gears lately. Along with the wear on the end of the shift lever, the two replaceable pins wear also but the main wear is in the housing itself. Years ago I devised a good easy repair for this wear, by using a grade 8 fine threaded 7/16 bolt and make two steel bushing 5/8 o.d. and 7/16 i.d. and 3/16 wide. As the recess where the welch plug sits in never wears, the bushing has a unworn surface to rest on and then I grind the head of the bolt off nice and round so it doesn't interfere with cap on shift lever, same to nut. M and H don't have a replacable tower so this repair works real well on them but I also do it to the ones with tower also because they are no longer available new. Some just put a bolt through but that flops around doesn't really solve the problem.
