davedean 2 #1 Posted May 13, 2015 After tilling up my garden using my 312-8, I noticed that It would not move after shifting into ANY gear. But by chance I happened to pull up on the shifter and she went into gear.Before this happened, a couple of times the tiller pushed the tractor forward, but I don't think she went too far (I was working the clutch to get a slower forward motion to let the tiller to dig deeper). I read the thread about the fellow that had the shifter come completely out of the gear box. Could it be that the allen set screw came loose (I hope) of is it something more serious? Thanks for your comments. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,530 #2 Posted May 13, 2015 Sounds like shifter has come loose from the set screw -or sometimes the shifter ball gets worn and limits ability to shift into some gears. The set screw has a allen head on it and is difficult to reach . A longer allen wrench can do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,406 #3 Posted May 13, 2015 That's the first thing I'd check Dave. If that's all it is the fix is simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,273 #4 Posted May 13, 2015 The shifter would feel really sloppy if the set screw is loose. I am thinking it popped out of low range on you while tilling. Move it between hi and low a few times and see if any thing does not feel right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrightorchid 261 #5 Posted May 28, 2015 Can somebody post a pic or diagram where this located? Do you have to take the seat sheet metal off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,273 #6 Posted May 28, 2015 Don't know which horse you have wrightorchid, but you may not have to take any sheet metal off. The set screw is under your shifter boot. I find that taking off the seat and fenders give me a little more room. You can come at the set screw from under the horse with a long 1/8" allan wrench.
