I have a Nortrac 204c with the FEL and a York Rake on the back. I have been doing some landscaping on my lot and building a dry-stacked stone retaining wall. I have been using the tractor to move stone and dirt as well as the rake to finish the ground near the wall.
I have owned this tractor for over a year and have not had any problems with the gearbox except recently, it has been popping out of 1st gear on occasion.
Today, I was loading the bucket with rocks and left the tranny in neutral. When I got back on the tractor, it would not go into Rev., 1st or 2nd gear.
I was able to tow it back into the yard and let is sit for a while. I started it back up and was able to get it into 3rd and 2nd gear. I left it in 2nd gear and drove it around the yard OK. Still couldn't get it into REV or 1st. I then put it in neutral and let it idle for a minute.
When I got back on and tried to shift, it would not go into any gear again, just like the first time.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks,
-Jim

Thanks for the advice. I am will get into it today and see what I can find. Just wondering, I have not taken the cover off of this tractor before, do I need any special tools or techniques when I go to put the cover back on?
The “auxiliary gear shift lever” is mounted on the gearbox plate. Is there anything I need to consider before removing the plate? By that I mean do I need to disassemble that shift before the plate will come off or does it come with the plate?
Any steps for removal and replacement would help me a lot.

When you unbolt the cover the shifter will come up with it, it's pretty easy to remove so you can see what's going on.

Good news, I hope.
I took the gearbox cover off and see that the spring on the shift lever is broken. I am hoping that this is the issue, correct?
I looked at the gear box and the gears look OK. I don't find any damage to the gears.
Tommy, I will check out your site and see if you have this part. Is there anything else that you would suggest that I inspect?
I tried to attach pics but am having some difficulty with this format. Can I send them to your e-mail instead?

Tommy,
Parts arrived in the mail at 4PM today and I was back to work by 4:30.
Thanks for your help and the fast shipment.
For other readers:
The spring was bent in the shifter assembly and prevented me from getting into rev. and 1st.
There is also a spring retainer washer that goes on the shift lever that was missing and needed to be replaced.
I also put a new gasket on while the top was off.
As noted above, the shift cover is very easy to remove and does not require any special tools or techniques. I replaces the spring and washer and reassembled the cover to the gearbox. After that, I was ready to go.
