Benford Dumper Gear Selection Issue

I have a Benford dumper 4000, when I select gear and go to pull off it pops out of gear, does anyone know what the problem might be?

Any ideas will be great.
 
Drop the oil out of the box and check condition and quantity is as expected? Replace with fresh oil and see if it alleviates the issue.

If not, it could be shift linkage is out of adjustment or it could be a more serious problem.

Nice diagram
Are you with Kehoe's in Wexford, then @nickirl ?

We're up the other end, but have bought stuff from them in the past, very good to deal with .
 
If this is the Turner/Spicer box (aka Compact Plus family) then service manual here may help:

See entry on last page for fault diagnosis:

Fault

Possible Causes
Detent springs worn or broken.
Synchroniser or gear dog teeth worn or damaged. Synchroniser assemblies worn or damaged.
Shift forks worn, loose or twisted.
Restriction or wear in gear linkage or stub lever assy. not allowing gears to be fully selected.
Excess end float on output shaft assembly or gears.

Are they supposed to have oil in these gearboxes. I thought all constuction plant worked without oil as the operators cannot find the dipsticks.

Sorry probably completely wrong. Four shifts on the floor (I think) and mechanical forward / reverse shuttle, apparently some of the Sanderson handlers used the same box?

yes and no, the T3 sandersons did use a very similar spicer turner box but there were a couple of key differences.
firstly the sanderson didn't have a option to bolt on a 4wd box, it didn't need it as they bolted a drop box to its main out put shaft and used the drop box to split the drive front to back.

the second key difference was the valves on the top, sanderson ones had electric valves on the top with no pressure modulation, Manitou started with a cable F/R with a pressure modulation and then progress to electric F/R but again still with pressure modulation so clutches didn't go in with a bang.
