806 stuck in fourth gear

theponyroper · Sep 28, 2010

I found an 806 on a local website for $2,200. The seller says it starts and runs excellent but is stuck in fourth gear. It has a Schwartz loader, Cozy-Cab, block heater, rear tires are 80%, front tires are new. How much of a problem is the stuck gear? My old 560 shift was so worn it always slips out of the splines and I have to take the shift out and realign the splines to get it to shift again. Takes about 5 minutes. Is this the same problem the 806 might have or is it something much more complicated?

the 560 and 806 transmissions are completely different. the simplest cause of the problem i can think of is a roll pin worked itself loose under the steering column. if the shifter moves around loosely and feels disconnected, pull the RH battery out a little and look behind the rear end of it. or it could be more complicated and might have to look under the cover.

i guess if you want to run in 4th gear, it's no problem ;-)
