        Can’t get lever to go into reverse position

          Does it make a grinding sound when you try it?

          Does it go into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd OK?

          If it is gear grinding it is probably a clutch that needs adjusting.

          If it doesn’t grind and the shift lever feels like it is hitting a block, there is probably something wrong in the transmission. Probably something wrong with the shift fork.

          Easy enough to pop the top cover off and have a look.

              Sorry for the late reply I had a family emergency and was away from home, thank you for your help. The lever on the steering column can be pushed up for forward but cannot be moved down for reverse

                ok that is a shuttle shift, I would seperate the linkages at the transmission and operate the shifter to see if there is any binding. if all is smooth the transmission forks might be at fault. Have you tryed to move the tractor forward some distance and try reverse again? also have you checked your free play on the clutch ,it should be about 1 inch.

                  the shuttle shifts have problems with the pins that hold the linkages together breaking this could be your issue also.
