My tractor is broken

[gcp]

Talking about parts, I have a few odds and ends I'll need to purchase for my 584 (in particular I need the chock handle which broke off the cable when trying to unscrew it) so what's the best online vendor to deal with? Reasonably priced and reliable.

Thank you for the kind words guys.

In the future, if this fix doesn't hold up, I'll replace the shifter and peripherals with new parts. I suspect they wouldn't be that expensive and they should be a direct drop-in.

You must not have priced very many OEM parts. Most of them are stupidly overpriced.

gcp,
Just getting to this thread. Glad to hear that you got it figured out. I have the same/similiar problem with my IH584. All I have is 2nd, 3rd, and reverse in both the hi and lo range. Sometimes, it'll hold in 4th. I've always feared it was internal to the transmission. However, I do recall my uncle saying, before he passed, that the linkages just needed to be adjusted or repaired, (I wonder why he never got around to it). Now that I have the tractor though, I will do that once I return to the states. It has been run like that for so long however, I hope that some of the gears have not worn. I may get in touch with you later on for some advice. Thanks for posting!

hasker, I did price that's why I posted my question, they are asking absurd $ for parts.

All electrical signals are now fully functional by cleaning connectors and all connection points with elbow grease and contact cleaner spray. How do you eat a red elephant? A bite at a time :licking:

I know that some of you will call it Dupont Imron overhaul but I'm picky about such things so I just finished painting in fresh black the plastic and steering wheel, it's all falling into place rather nicely!

Looks like new!!!:thumbsup:

Not exactly new Kyle but it looks one heck of a lot better. I appreciate the kind remarks!

The chock button broke so I made a shift handle which works better than the original. Nothing but a plastic loop but perfect for the ol' finger insertion and pull :laughing:
