    Posted: 21 Jan 2023 at 12:06am
I have an 1982 6080 that used to shift easily but now is a bit stiffer to shift and if it gets in a bind like when driving through sand or pushing a bale fork into a group a round hay I can't get it out of gear on the gear shift and the range shifter.  I tried backing off the clutch a little but that had no effect.  Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it.

If it is only a problem getting out of gear, shut off the engine and if it then comes out of gear more easily, it is the clutch dragging.

It will not come out whether the engine is on or off.  I have to move the tractor forward until I can pull the transmission lever out of gear.

Are you sure it is full of oil? (check plug on right side of transmission ) Have saw shift rails gaul from lack of oil.                    MACK

Check the clutch cable that actuates it.  A friend of mine had a similar issue.  The clutch cable had stretched enough that it would not take enough pressure off of gears to shift easily.  Worth a shot.  Hope this helps.
