1952ar John Deere shift fork replacement

[1952ar]

Hello! I need to replace the shift fork on my 1952ar John Deere. I removed the clutch assembly bet the clutch cylinder won稚 come off. What痴 the secret?

Would it be possible for you to add some pics of what you are running into, and the "clutch cylinder" that won't come off? tks

Not good at recalling how to get at the shift fork, but maybe someone will chime in shortly that has a better answer for you.

I'd think you would go inside by removing the tranny cover.. or maybe not.

Can't help without good pics. First I've seen reference to a shift fork in many moons. The shift fork came loose on my wife while she was driving it to work on our 1969 Alfa Duetto Jr. She called me about it. I went to get the car, leaving her the lowly Fiat 124S sedan. Had to drive back in 3,4,5 only. Luckily, it would corner fast and all. The bolt holding the shift fork in place just unscrewed. Found it against the magnet in the bottom of the transmission case.

Thank you for replying. I’m posting 2 pictures, the cylinder and the broken shift fork I’m trying to replace.

Shift forks are in the transmission. You are changing the clutch fork.

Here is a great resource.

My apologies. Yes it is the clutch fork. Still can’t figure out how to take the clutch cylinder/drum off to change the broken fork.

It’s the clutch SHAFT fork replacement

So go over to YT and ask there. That’s why I linked you to that resource. Most guys here wouldn’t know an AR if it ran over them. I haven’t had a two cylinder clutch apart in 25+ years so I am not gonna tell you something I can’t remember correctly. You will have to ask the correct questions. You will not be able to post pics there right away.

Take your pick. They are all over ebay for under $25 free shipping. entire assembly or just the shaft. Plug and play.
