This weekend with Andy's help I loaded up the model 70 Rowcrop and brought it home. My trailer was not made for tractors so we had to move the wheels in a lot. That meant freeing up the spline hubs, and Dad and I had just given up on the idea when Andy backed in and started unloading porta-powers out of his trunk. This is the sort of episode that might justify a magazine article. Anyway we got it to fit the trailer but when I got home I found it did not want to engage reverse.

Here's what it does. You can feel the gear but it won't slip in. It's like the teeth are too fat to mesh with each other or something. I got it to back up enough to come off the trailer by pulling hard on the shifter and very gently easing it back but it's clear something's not right. Anybody have an idea what?

Thanks,
Jim
