Ford 2610 rear disconnect

[DSW]

Just bought a 2610 ford that needs engine work. It has two shifters on the column. I can put it in any gear and it will still roll. Seems like the trans and rear are disconnected somehow. There is a spool valve on the left side by the pto lever. Does that disengage the rear? Thanks in advance.

I hope ya didn't pay too much...

There is no disconnect on the rear end of that tractor. The box/handle pictured is the parking brake. The main reasons I can think of for the tractor rolling in any gear are a clutch that is completely defaced/gone or a rear end that has sheared it's rivets in the crown wheel. That's probably more likely than the clutch. This is just going to be a search and discovery mission until you find the problem...

Thanks. There is a parking brake on the other side of the tractor. The lever pictured is spring loaded and won't stay in one position. Also is the transmission a shuttle or just a standard gear. Thanks again for your help.

The lever pictured is a parking brake, regardless of what is found on the brake pedals.
The transmission is an 8x4 syncro meaning it has 4 syncro gears on the right lever while the left lever is a high/low/reverse. It's not a shuttle as such and is not synchronised on that lever... but the low/reverse shift should be a straight throw... so it kind of shuttles as long as you come to a dead stop to shift.

Thanks again for all the info.
