Hello, after running in turtle for a few hours I went to go to rabbit and nothing happened. The engine kept running. I moved the leaver back and forth several times with no avail. I did this in forward and reverse. Still nothing. I made it back to the garage in turtle and in 4rh gear. The PTO and all the other hydraulic seem to work fine. Any ideas?

Welcome to OTT
I suggest 1st thing to do is check gear shift linkage. Does gear range control lever have an resistance when attempting to speed change ranges?

The leaver looks to be going all the way. But I'm able to push it a little past and it pops right back. The top of the leaver moves about an inch. The rabbit gear did work for a few seconds at first this morning. I was able to back it out 20 feet or so. The fluid looks at a good level. I drove it about 100 yards in turtle, may was a little low on power.

You most likely have a linkage issue.

check that the linkage is attach at both ends and even more importantly that it hasn't sheared the roll pins and is just rotating on the shaft.

If it's neither of these then you're looking at doing a split to repair internal damage.

All the linkage looks good and moving freely. Talked to a service tech he said to change the foul filter. Does this sound correct? But I'll try it tomorrow.

Foul filter??? :confused:

No birds are used or filtered with you model tractor. :p

Fuel filter will have nothing to do with it not going into gear.
Even hydraulics filters have nothing to do with it not going into gear, it's strictly mechanical.

Its gear. The power from the engine is fine. Sounded silly but the tech confident that that's what it's is.

Are you talking about the high/low range lever or the engine throttle lever?

Did a small adjustment to the clutch pedal and seems to have fixed for now. Still want to get it in and looked at. Thanks everyone.
