Sorry for the repost, came back to the thread once again just in case some poor sod in the future struggles like i did lol Fixed? Yeah for 10 minutes. Few weeks later, same thing straightaway. Takeaways: 1. The guy who said, tie a cord to the plate and run it up into the cab as an 'emergency...

For completeness & to help anyone comes searching, a fresh M10 bolt about 50mm or so long in that hole, followed by jiggling the 2 gate/interlock plates behind it, fixed the problem and released it from low forward range. Got all the gears back now. Thanks a million for your help guys.

If you hadn't found that diagram I wouldn't have known quite what I was looking at, grateful in the extreme for that The mechanism for the left lever works in an extremely similar manner. Turns out, if you have the wheel turned just right, you can see through the side quite well with a decent...

- Slept on it & yep, it does, I have a good solid idea how its supposed to work now.. thanks All that side of things does feel like it's working ok though. Going to go out now it's dry and light & see if I can verify those plates are really engaging and disengaging as they should on the right...

Mine has the two-speed power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears 1, 2, 3 and 4 low forward (tortoise) 1, 2, 3 and 4 low forward (hare) 1, 2, 3 and 4 high forward (tortoise) 1, 2, 3 and 4 high forward (hare) 1, 2, 3 and 4 reverse (tortoise) 1, 2, 3 and 4 reverse (hare) The...

Think I have the same problem with my 885XL..? Was trundling around yard all OK everything working as normal. Left hand gear lever with H gate was over to the left and forward, engaged in 'forward low speed' Right hand gear lever with H gate was over to the left and forward (1st gear?)...

Sausage correct. Pivot ball snapped. Turns out I have odd cables, no balls, it's got holes.

Used to get my bottles on contract from BOC too, but it got too expensive that way for 3 jobs a year. Now I just go to the motor factors down the road, they do a decent sized oxygen bottle for something like a £100 fully returnable deposit with no rent to pay, the gas itself is very cheap. Then...

Winkle out the rust with electricity? Worth a try if no access to decent heat https://www.instructables.com/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-aka-Magic/ (Link above does it very well with loads of decent new equipment, it works equally well rigged up in hick fashion with whatever bits and bobs you can...

Thanks. Yellow lever doesn't seem to make any difference no matter what position it's in. Spanners and head scratching time I guess :)

Just been reading about pivot balls.. Maybe that's the problem. Will nip out & have a look. Don't think there is a rubber boot anymore, you can see quite a lot inside straight off.. What's the little yellow lever for at the base of the housing?

The lever that operates the loader, mounted to the right of the steering wheel, suddenly went all sloppy today. The hydraulics all still work, but the lever's lost most of its self-centring action. Has anyone had one of these apart? What's inside that might have broken?

Few weeks later & I still haven't got round to following through the proper bleeding procedure but, thought it worth mentioning that after a few weeks just doing the odd days work now and again, the reservoir did fill up by itself & the brakes came back ok by themselves. No doubt ive still got...

Turned out to be alternator leaking back & battery + terminal gone bad. The cable was inside the battery terminal's bore, but the bore had somehow widened and the conductor was floppy in there giving rise to intermittent high resistance. Packed it out with extra pieces of 2.5mm twin and earth...

Thanks, should be able to pick my way through it with the meter now. Much appreciated.

Can't seem to keep the battery charged, even though once started the battery volts are going up quite a bit higher than the battery's resting voltage. Battery itself seems ok, it'll charge fine on the wall charger then hold a good voltage for days left by itself off the tractor. Not sure if...

I re-read the ops manual & it turns out it does have a bleeding procedure in it involving manually pumping alternate pedals. I just didn't recognise it due to my confirmation bias, expecting it to be the same as a car. The procedure you've given above is worded slightly different to that in the...

No - haven't bled them. Didn't know how & the owners manual isn't too easy to read. I went back after last post and had a look, I think the leak I saw might be a perished injector return hose. The brake reservoir was definitely 100% empty when I repaired the pipe, and 'seemed' empty when I...

The reservoir was completely empty and the metal insert on the 2nd pipe in from the offside had definitely dropped, it was sticking out the bottom about 2 inch or so. Pushed it back up ok using a spanner as a lever, it seemed to be a pretty good interference fit, not sloppy at all, didnt seem...

oh right.. I think I get it, the top of that pipe is supposed to be up inside the reservoir acting like the overflow on a toilet cistern? It drops down and then there's nothing stopping the reservoir totally emptying..? 'stack-pipe'.. good description..
