8N Transmission

MARK	Today I picked up a 52 8N was driving off the trailer when I shifted it into reverse the gearshift pulled out of the transmission. It took me a couple of minutes and was able to reinsert back in and drove it around shifting gears for another 30 minutes. My question is Is this normal? How do I fix? I noticed when putting it in nuetral it makes a funny noise, I assume it has something to do with the gearshift being able to come out. Thanks for any info.
Larrh	You'll need to take the top cover plate off and see what came loose in there. You need to get a manual and see how it is put together. I read an article on another website the other day. Some guy who works on these old tractors explained how they get worn. When shifting you should take your time and realize your not driving a sports car ha. Several posts I've read about tractors getting stuck in two gears is a result of this he explained. Get the manual and you should have an easy fix I would think.
Mark	The guy gave me a couple of manuals that he had photocopied off the net. Is there a specific manual I would need to get? I have not had time to go through all the stuff he gave me with the tractor yet.
Larry	Just get the I&T FO-4 service manual. It isn't real expensive. If your going to keep this tractor it will come in handy later on. I've never had my trans. cover off but it doesn't look to bad.
