I have a problem!!!!!

[East Tn Oliver 77]

I have an Oliver 77 row crop and in order to loose weight I removed the P.T.O, made a cover for that and removed the P.T.O support there under where the mechanical lift goes. Then I removed my mechanical lift and installed a flat tranny cover from Korves oliver parts. I went to drive it around and heard a noise I hadn't heard before. I pulled out in second and then decided to run through the gears and all of a sudden it started making weird noises like it was grinding the gears or something and the only gear I could put it in was second. (No i did not drop anything in there.)What is my problem? Help is greatly appreciated!!

wonder if you don't have the shifter in the trans right, all 3 rails need to be lined up, take out the shifter and check them

Here is what happens. I get on tractor, I am able to go through 1-2-3-4-5-6-R1-R2 fine while setting steal, start tractor ( whooom whoooopppp vrmmmmm!!!!!!) and while its running and setting steal I can run through the gears again, I put it in gear and pull out, then stop, then I hear grrrrrscrrrr or something sounding like its coming from the clutch area, then the gears grind, then I get in reverse and back into parking spot, then it goes grrrrscrrr again, then I shut it off. I dont know what it is but it sounds like its coming from the clutch. After taking the P.T.O shaft out would it have loosened anything or what?

My 77 doesn't have a hydraulic pump. It had a mechanical lift.

Did you have the clutch and pressure plate rebuilt or put rebuilt/new ones in? I had a problem that sounds similar. It went away once the pressure plate fingers were adjusted to the correct height (a lot of re-builders do not take the time) and the shims removed from the springs in the pressure plate and heavier springs added in place of the shims. The shims were added by some one else to "beef up" the pressure plate but put the springs into coil bind or close to it when the clutch pedal was depressed. You might take the clutch and pressure plate in to a good local re-builder for them to check out and set up correctly for you.
