7040 PD shifter, Tractor has no cable/linkage for the HI-LOW-Park Shifter. Tractor had a section of small pipe slipped over shifter lever where it comes out of Trans housing. My question is which position is HI-LOW- Park? Going to find salvage for parts to put back correct.

Thanks!! Finally got it started this summer after injection pump rebuild(s). seems to run fine. She's in pretty poor shape, a budget open station tractor. "$300.00 more and take that one too".

When one looks at that short rubber booted shift lever under the cab floor, it is clear to me they intended to have a shift lever thru the floor with no linkage. The cab engineers weren't talking to the rear end engineers ......

Interesting. So a second floor gear shift for the Hi/Low/Park could have been designed to come out of the cab floor somewhere under the operator’s seat? And if so, then could of been bent towards the right of the seat & then either shorter then arm rest and/or maybe taller with another slight bend towards the back of cab so as to be kinda out-of-the-way for operator’s right hand controlling hydraulics, 3pt, & pto levers???

Could have been, yes. A different console than what they wound up with, but when you see the same rubber shift boot like a WD45 or D-17 it makes you wonder.........Imagine the console without the Range lever even there. The rest of the console could have been moved forward 10 inches ??
