    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Hard to tell but if I actuate the lever from outside the bell housing and watch it there is some slop, I can visibly see a gap between the hole the pin goes through and the pin itself as I move the lever back and forth. If I had another 1/8th of an inch it would likely lift out like it is...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Best picture I could get, but I think you can see it - it won't clear the housing above it. It needs to come a bit further in but that's as far as it wants to go.

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    No steel line at all in there. I guess someone removed it at some point. The linkage pin is also proving to be an issue - I lifted the steering box and fuel tank where I can access from the topside and there is no room to take the pin out. For whatever reason no matter what position I have the...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Awesome thank you, can probably locate something local then. Is this the plug for the test port? If so should I be prepared for oil to come streaming out when I take the plug out?

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Oil changed to a higher grade, filter changed, Took the blocker valve off - looked ok although I couldn't pull one of the pins out with the magnet. Changed those o-rings on the lines going in to the filter. No change. Time to pressure test like you said - just need to see what sizes I need to...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Ok so I may have found the problem - but now I am super confused... So I drained all the oil out of the case so I could change the filter and put better oil back in and you will never guess what I found stuck to the magnet on the drain plug... A blocker valve pin. How in the world did that get...

    Thank you for your response. I will go ahead and order a new pin as well. Hopefully my son may can change it from underneath, lot smaller hands and arms. Will give it a go. O-rings came in today so I will be replacing those and the filter/oil as well.

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    I unpinned the linkage at this point that I circled. With the engine off I attempted to cycle through the 3 positions. In between each position engaging there was for sure what I guess would be slack before it engaged to the next spot. You can definitely wiggle it back and forth quite a bit...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Yes sorry I missed that - you are correct it acts completely fine AFTER it engages. I was even pulling a trailer with 8 round bales on it without any issue at all down the road after it started happening.

    Good to know, I will take them out and replace the o-rings and put them back in then. Afterwards change the filter and oil and see where we stand. Will grab a pressure gauge as soon as I can climb off the baler in the daylight for a bit.

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    I took a look and I didn't see a head on the end of these lines, they appear to just go into the housing. There is a bracket above them held with a screw. I am assuming maybe take the bracket off and these just lift out? I may have unbolt the filter bracket from the frame by the looks of it to...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    I do have the manual for it - I will obtain a pressure gauge and attempt to run a test on it. I assumed, and assumed incorrectly when the mechanic did the split he replaced the filter with the fluid. However I took off the front grill and shielding tonight and the entire area was covered in...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Would it be possible the oil itself I have in there is an issue? Going to check the bucket for the correct numbers but just a thought. Checked - says it meets 134D. This post was edited by RedBarnFarm on 06/13/2022 at 02:43 pm.

    Ford 420 Shuttle Shifting Help

    Hoping someone can guide me to another possible answer on a long-term reoccurring problem with my shuttle shift. So the history is the tractor developed an issue where it was slow to engage in reverse or would only engage at high rpm after 10 or 20 seconds, forward was fine. Had a mechanic work...

    Ford 420 Shuttle Issue

    I did order new seals for the blocker valve, new pins, and 2 new springs as well. Just waiting on those to arrive. I don't have all of the shuttle shift linkage back up to the steering column hooked back up but I did try moving the shift linkage right where it comes out of the housing and...
