How Sloppy Can Tractor Gears Be?

What causes a sloppy shifter?

When a shifter bushing is worn, the shifter feels loose. It’s because the worn bushing left a gap between the handle and the shift rail. Shift rails have detent notches machined into their sides. A spring-loaded ball fits into the detent notch to keep the transmission in gear.

Can you shift gears on a tractor while moving?

You shouldn’t ever shift from one gear to another while moving. Tractor transmissions do not have synchromesh like car and truck transmissions have. Just pick a gear and stick with that gear.

Depending on how many gears the tractor has, you should go no higher than 3rd gear. If the tractor has multiple ranges, use low range.

Can you start a tractor in any gear?
