Mahindra 6000
Yesterday out bush hogging, I stopped and shifted into first to weave in out and around a few trees. Now it won't come out of gear. I can shift between high and low, the PTO and clutch work fine. I even tried reaching through the fill hole to see if I could pry it out of gear. No luck. I even tried again the next morning after the tractor cooled down overnight. No luck still an I don't want to put needless pressure on the shifter and possible break it.

How complicated is it to pull the top off of the tranny and take a look inside? Should I plan on a half day or so for that?

I don't have any manual but have owned "vintage" cars my whole life so I'm not too worried and will take careful notes and pictures during disassembly as needed.

Any feedback on what I may run into, any advice, etc., will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Not much of a problem to pull the top off. I have had one that the detent ball got rusted up and cause the shifter to become hard to move but i believe it was the hi-low shift. Hopefully yours will be a simple fix like that.

That's what I hope to find, something fairly simple to fix. Thanks for the reply.

Good news. Tractor is shifting again. It was the detent on the rear end of the 1-2 shift rail that was hung up. Just curious, does anyone know if this is a problem that tends to reoccur or not? I did load the other detents up with PB Blaster after I go that one loose.

Thanks for the advice, especially since it led me straight to the issue... :)
