Just drained the rear end. About a quart of water, 2
quarts of milky goo. Should I put something in there
to clean it up? If so, what. I got this tractor last
fall,(rescued from the scrap guy)when I got it, it
when into all gears.(tractor was not running). now
it doesn't want to go into any gear. Ideas?

Does it just grind when you try to get it in gear or why cant you get it in gear? It may be you just have to adjust the clutch. You could just fill the gear box with diesel fuel and then drain it that should clean it up a bit. Erik..

Erik, tractors not running yet. I had it running last fall for a few minutes just to see if it would run. I need to hook up fuel line and put a battery in it. I just thought it should be able go into gear with no trouble while engine was not running. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the reply. Should I fill the rear end full of diesel, or just leave drain plug out and flush thru?

It is possible that the rails have gotten rusty and stuck, in which case you would need to get at them and clean them up. I have never had a 140 but the principle applies to any tractor with a manual transmission.

Guess I will probably need to take the top cover of the trans off?

You may be able to see any problems by taking out the PTO. Taking the top off of the trans. would probably be the best idea, though.

I would put the plug in and fill it most of the way let it sit a while and then drain it. Maybe shake the tractor a bit before draining.I agree with the other guys take the top of the transmission and check the rails.

all those all tractors, probably have a bit of water in the reservoirs/cases, especially if they have set outside some. the steering housing is probably the worse to gather water. i drain the goop, put the plug back in when the goop clears and fill. oil floats on water and there is usually nothing wrong with that oil that is on top.

before i removed anything, i would jack up one of the rear wheels, rock the wheel or turn the wheel and try to shift through the gears.

Take the pto off and you will not see the tranny bad advise

mkirsch · Sep 3, 2012

Taking the top cover off is pretty easy. You just need to make sure the ball on the end of the shifter goes into the shifting rails when you put the cover back on.

Did you have the clutch pushed in when you tried to shift it? Just draining the oil wouldn't make a difference in how it shifts.

The transmission cover comes off in a few minutes, the PTO is harder to take out, plus you have to drain the oil, and I don't think you will see anything anyway.

The shifter rails/forks are attached to the cover. When you put the cover back on, you need to have the rails all in neutral and the slider gears all need to be placed in neutral. You need move the cover straight down and make sure the forks engage the slider gears.
