gear shifter

[Dallerd]

does anybody know how to remove the gear shifter? farmall 544 tractor, it was stuck in 3rd gear. the rod doesnt want to release

Pull the TA rearward to see if that doesn't release stress on the lever. Jim

The rod doesn't move either way with the shifter or without. I removed all linkages but the rod won't budge. The dealership says there might be a pin.

I am pretty sure you are going to need the service manual.. I looked at the CASEIH prts site, and it is worthless. The old one was better, but nolonger on line. Jim

Yeah I'm not sure but I'm thinking there's a roll pin somewhere on shaft farthest left if your sitting in the seat. Cause the transmission is ok I got all linkages disconnected, and put each one in neutral. So the rod is binding somewhere in the housing.

See if this link to the gear shift mechanism parts diagram will help you.

Thank you! I found the actual rod has 2 pins in there. I just gotta pop those pins out and it should come out. Thanks
