 Topic: Wd 45 shifter handle
Posted: 06 Feb 2020 at 6:56pm |

Who makes the best quality shifter handles? I see a lot out there available and I wanted to get some opinions. This one has been repaired several times, guess it should be replaced.

I would guess that every aftermarket company that sells them is selling the exact same one from the same machine shop. AaronSEIA

I got one from an after market company, it did not have the knob on the end of it to hold the rubber knob on. If I were to buy another it would come from Sandy Lake.

30 or more years ago, a new gearshift from AGCO for a WD/WD45 required a new large plastic knob like later 185's and 200's. The shift lever itself was probably 5/8" diameter all the way from the shift boot to the new plastic knob, not tapered like the original. It was obvious they had a new vendor and they made them for all orange tractors at that time in history.

The one DJS shows in their catalog has a taper at the end and the ball for the rubber knob. AaronSEIA

I have one on my WD like DrAllis descibed. Bought it in the early 1990's from AGCO. I just welded the correct bolt on the end so the old knob would screw on. I ground the weld down so you can't tell and only a watchful eye will see the thicker diameter shifter.

I have a new one for a WD45 somewhere that I bought when I bought my WD one.

Lonn, If you want to let it go, let me know. Think I’ll call Sandy Lake and see if what they have are shaped the same, I am more concerned of the key ways and machining quality on the lower end. Most after market stuff in the past I have been disappointed with. Thanks for your suggestions! Kevin
