I was fooling around with my transmission control cover the other night, dislodged a shift rod and sent, what I beleive was a  rod detent, off into the woods. Can I pick up a replacement detent and spring at any tractor parts place or is this a special order from somewhere?Thanks, TC |

Unfortunately it needs to be the correct one, so you will need to find a donor tractor, or call AGCO. Fairly often a cover will come up on ebay. You will probably be missing a spring and a ball. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

| The detent is a 3/8" steel ball. If you remove your dipstick to the left side of the dashboard ahead of the gearshift (when sitting in the seat) notice there just might be a small cotter pin located about midway on it. If so, remove the cotter pin and throw it away.....there should be a ball up inside the tube which is the correct size. You'll have to bend the dipstick to the side a bit to remove the ball out of the tube. You do not need to replace the ball. |

So Dr. Allis, where do they hide the extra third gear? :-) ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |
