Just wondering if any of you guys here are familiar with this. My brother has the tractor and has the shifting fork broke on it, and has the cover off, the fork is right in front on a shaft, can't figure out how to get the shaft out, there was a mention of some devil rings or other that hold it in there, the shaft slides back and forth about 3/8 in or so, but can't see the ends. Also wonder if anybody knows a good place to buy a replacement cheap, or if it can be welded and replaced, the local IH dealer wants $309.

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. My interest in this is tied to the fact that it has a loader on it, and I want him to move some snow for me.

Ya must be talken about the shifting fork in the range transmission . If ya have the cover off it can be changed by just sliding it back enough to lift out the fork . Did ya pull the cover off the side to expose the reverse shifting fork or is that the fork that is broken . Ya have to be more clear on what fork is broken for me to help .
 
There are two top shifting covers on the 706. The front one and the rear one. The front one is the 1,2,3,4 gears and the rear is High,Low, Reverse.
 
Well ya had best pull the side cover as well , now keep in mind here that you will loose about a gallon of hy tran when this cove is pulled . Ya have to pull it to get the rev. shift fork back on when going back together . Now to remove the shift fork on the H-L-N- shifter remove the bolt that goes thru the shift fork then place the shifter forward so that the collar engages the ft. gear and with a pair of vice grips work the shaft reward JUST ENOUGH to remove the shift fork. Then do everything in reverse when going back together. Now here is a word to the wise here check thru the archives on the way to adjust the clutch dump valve and trans brake. As i would venture to say that 706 is a weeeeeee BIT hard shifting and this is what caused the problem.
 
IF he was working on the speed trans. it is simple as the shift rails are held in with just two screw each and a impact driver a #4 phillips and a hammer will remove them .
