DK40 high range not working

[Coyote machine]

Yes, standing still is the ONLY way to shift from l-m-h. Sometimes you may need to tap the f or r pedal to get the shift lever to engage a particular gear, or let the tractor roll a foot or less in any direction for everything to line up.
Corrosion or a bent part or something jamming the linkage travel, where the linkage contacts the transmission is also a possible reason you can't get high, unless you live in Colorado!?:laughing:

Well I will look at DK at the dealer and check how its linkage is compared to mine. I am also going to pick his brain a bit about the issue. I will keep you guys posted, thanks for the ideas!


Maybe some of that Colorado "air" is all it needs!

Colorado Rocky Mountain (High, gear)!
Good luck- funky linkage is probably the issue....

Well I made an appointment at the dealer but he was pretty back logged. Today I was using the tractor for the first time in a week or so and the high range is now working? Not sure what changed.

Hey Jeff

I have the same issue on my DK40. What was the resolution?

Thanks,
John

Sorry for never updating. I ended up finding the problem myself once I lost all ranges and got the ok from the dealer to break the paint. It was simple the roll pin that connects the shifter to the rod going into the transmission broke. The roll pin is long and had only broke on one end is my assumption, after continued use it broke at both ends making it so the tractor would not shift at all. I used a hardened nut and bolt to replace the pin(60hrs no issues).
