My sister-in-law has an 856 International diesel tractor on which the shift lever used to go from 1st through 4th moves freely now; There is no resistance. Everything was working fine when it was shut off. She followed the linkage of the high/low/reverse lever down to the case and everything looks okay, but the 1-4 lever goes under right away. When you let the clutch out, it try to move but pulls the engine down like it is stuck in gear. What can she try? Thanks

If she removes the panel that is next to the park lock lever/in between the clutch pedal and brake pedals, she will be able to see the entire external speed transmission linkage. There's a long shaft that runs from behind the steering column down to the top of the speed transmission. This shaft turns as the lever is moved. Between this shaft and the shaft going into the speed transmission, there is a coupling. The roll pins that join this coupling to the shafts often break, causing the "lever moves free" symptom. Often, you'll find the roll pins replaced with nails or bolts or whatever the old farmer had on hand. Get the correct double roll pin from Case-IH. What doesn't sound good to me is that you say the tractor acts like it is in two gears. Be careful while engaging the clutch until you figure out what that's about. Hopfully the internal shifting parts of the speed transmission are OK, as you need to remove the whole steering column/fuel tank assembly to work on that.

KB , that pin is suppose to be a Groved tappered pin , myself i would pull the cowel first and see if the cub cadet tierod end did not take a dump first then move on down . Many times i have found that the nut came off the tierod or the end poped off then ya get a new one and go on your way.
