New to the forum. I bought a Allis Chalmers CA at the auction. The note on the tractor stated, "locked up in second gear". I removed the side shift plate and was able to put the tractor in neutral very easily with my finger. The gears look fine. When I reinstall the shift plate the transmission is locked after each attempt. I saw where someone recommended putting every thing in reverse and then reinstall the shift plate. That did not work either. An inspection of the shift looks normal. Could the shift paddles be bent? No sure how to fix this. I'm stumped!
