Third gear by any chance

The problem is that it won’t go into high range and the splitter doesn’t work.... it’s a very clean tractor under 8 k hours so seems right to fix it properly.
Gone to Ibbetts.....

Been fighting my forward control Merc for a fortnight trying to get it going but finally given up. Think it will need the head off and injectors refurb.

After a busy couple of months on one of the bigger girls weather has allowed things to dry enough to get the muck spread and then put the re-bladed aerator to use. The old girl did a cracking job!

Think a few of us have done that on various bits of kit over the years! Annoying and takes forever getting all the bits!School boy error. Reversed up to the drier with the rear window open, and had a glass explosion.

I’ve done it.
Reversing up to a set of vertical folding spring tines with the rear window of a JD 3640, wondering why, as I inched back, the hook ends weren’t getting closer to the link balls!!

I've done it. Get the hedge cutter top link slightly too short, and the arm will hit the back window if its open.
I also bust the Lamborghini back window when I hit a hidden stone heap with the Browns flail type pasture topper/straw chopper. Not a very profitable afternoon.

I was at a farm once where a lad was hoovering out his cab having just broken his back window.
As he came down the steps he knocked a hammer out with his boot that fell to the ground. He got down, picked it up and threw it onto the cab floor and it slid across the floor and broke glass door on the far side!

shortest span for a window here was about a minute, put a new back window in the 106 54 and as i steped of the ladder it landed around me-possible over tightened. Another time at silage a 399 got a side window broke so phoned and mum went and got it fitted it at tea time and sent he for another one as i broke it with a branch entering the next field, da broke the first and wouldnt wait to the next day to fit it even when we knew the branches would break it.
Also why is it so hard to break the bottom window at the back of the hiline mf cab but the big one breaks for fun, I mean the window fell out of our 399 and landed on concrete, big one in pieces and small one fine, man in a car seen it and it didnt break before comming loose from tractor.

Worked on a dairy farm as a student where for the first time I had a 74 series that still had a back window in it. Used to take it off if there was any danger of it getting broken while using a machine. One afternoon on a busy day I was told to put the Farmhand complete diet feeder on and put a mix in for the high yielders as they were out of food. The Leyland 272 that normally pulled it wasn't available and I didn't have time to remove my back window. Knew the handles on the feeder would catch the window if it was raised so left it down. After mixing all the bulky ingredients reversed down the slight ramp into the shed where the fish meal was and the feeder handles just made contact with the window! Almighty bang and glass everywhere. Took over an hour to sweep all the glass up off the floor and then in the evening the same trying to get it out the cab! Was heartbroken!

Something similar with the Kuhn version of the same mower stone shattered one bit broke the inside mirror an other bit went through my shirt into my back , just a small cut, could have been worse.
Had that with a kuhn too stone dropped by my feet, we fitted a guard to the back window after that
