JD360 jammed in 2 gears??

[Bob Doss]

When I parked my JD350 crawler loader this past fall, it seemed to be working fine. But when I tried to use it a few days ago, the shift lever would not move (jammed in the first gear position). When I let out the clutch, the engine immediately stalls without moving the tracks at all (not even the slightest wiggle).

A couple of neighbors who "know" about crawlers said it must be "stuck in two gears at the same time".

1. Is this even possible?

2. If so, how can I fix the problem?

Don't know anything about your crawler but I've had a pickup do the same thing. Remove top of transmission if you can. Realign gears then reinstall top of trans. I'm guessing now. But should work. Good luck.
