190 XT reverse shift lever

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Broke the lever today. It looks like these are almost impossible to find. My tractor appears to be a 64 XT gas. I see where some have been able to braze them or in some cases weld them back together. This one broke on the flat part a little above the numbers. 

I'm a little Leary of brazing it and expecting it to hold. Make I am overthinking it. I am assuming it is cast steel so welding may be a decent option. I have an Ac stick welder and A wire welder which I assume is a no. Will An old fashioned Lincoln Ac buzzbox work for the needed rod? What rod would you recommend? 

 Will another shift cover with the levers attached interchange with mine? I found a case where a guy found another lever from a yard , but it was different than his. My rails were rebuilt 6-8 years ago so I would prefer to use it if possible. 
The part number on mine is 246554  

Thank you for any suggestions

	We broke the reverse shift fork on a 185 30+ years ago on a weekend during a blizzard! Opened it up took the fork to local shop where old AC mechanic worked. He was a master with brass and a torch. 15 minutes to fix 1 hour to enjoy the bottle of dark rum payment and it is still working today. Don’t be afraid of a proper brazing repair.

	Thanks Joe . That gives me some hope if it comes down to that. I used to have to braze together 2 oil pick up tubes on Chevy race engines years ago. It has been several years since I have had to do any brazing.
