I just bought a 1948 H that had been sitting for 3 to 10 years, the guy wasn’t sure. It doesn’t run currently so all of this is done obviously with no power to the transmission.
When I bought it the transmission was stuck in neutral but with some gentle persuasion I was able to get it to start shifting and was about to run through a few gears no problem. I put it in first and then it wouldn’t come out. It wasn’t especially hard to get into first, no more difficult than the other gears. But now it won’t come out.
I have pulled the shifter and I can see the rail is pushed up for first but I can’t move it back.
I have tried lifting one wheel at a time and trying to get it out of gear and that was unsuccessful. One thing to note is when I lift the right wheel it will spin (with the clutch in) no problem forward or backward. The left side however will only spin forward, it hard stops trying to go backward.
Any advice will be a huge help. Thank you!
