On a restored and working 8N, from routine shifting from Low to Reverse repeatedly, the shift lever where it is in contact with the shifting rails, has worn to a point where the transmission locks up in first gear and the shift lever moves freely into the neutral position.
I have taken the top cover off this tractor and I have removed the shift lever from the top cover. I can see major wear and rounding off of the corners of the shift lever where it contacts the shifting rails.
I do have access to a bone yard of 8N's but in the past 8N's I have I have restored, I have seen this kind of wear on almost all 8N transmissions I have had apart. I hate to start removing shift covers and finding more worn out levers. I can only assume that the transmission shift levers on the bone yard transmissions will show similar wear.
Is there a machine shop fix for this problem?
Anyone had luck fixing worn shift levers?
If not,
Is there an aftermarket source for a new shift lever?
