[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 5811608, member: 718"] It is a straightforward 1234 gearbox, if its a 12x12 or 24x24, but with an unusual three ranges that are changed in the 5/6 plane when compared to a car with a six speed box. If in on of the two lower ranges then pushing forward to where you would expect fifth to be and back to neutral changes up the range. If in low range, doing so once takes you to medium range and twice to high range. Pulling back to where you would expect sixth to be on a car will change up a range at a time. Changes may be vague if bushings at the base of the lever are worn. Easy to swap bushings though. I should mention that I dislike this gearbox in 40kph configuration. For road work I prefer the non-shuttle 18x6 box if its a 40kph one. However, lots of farmers do seem to like the 4200 and 4300 tractors, so maybe I'm in the minority. [/QUOTE]
