Creeper gear shifter wont move

[Teg1928]

My shifter for the creeper gear range wont budge. The tractor runs fine otherwise but the shifter lever is in high range and I'd like to use the creeper range for some tilling. All other hydraulic functions are fine, loader, 3point, forward and reverse in the 8 gears for high range are fine. Although I've had the tractor awhile I never had a need to use the lower creeper range til now. Any pointeres would help. I'm going to change out the hydraulic fluid soon so figured now would be a good time to get this corrected.

Most likely if it's never been shifted, it's rusted up, get to the linkage and spray it down with penetrating oil to get the lever to move.

Thanks Wolfman I'll give it a good soaking and see how it goes.

Thanks Wolfman that did the trick. Works great. Can't wait to get the tiller on and see the difference in performance.
