jimt1971 236 #1 Posted June 1, 2009 Hello all, I have a broken shifter in one of my tractors. It is the shifter shaft not the ball at the bottom. Has anyone used PC-7 or simular to fix a shifter? And no I can't get it welded but will try it I need to. Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,561 #2 Posted June 1, 2009 PC7 is great stuff but won't hold in this situation---then the chunk of epoxy will fall down into the trani and cause more problems. Why can't you get it welded----there has to be somebody with a welder around you. Or.... mail the shifter to somebody on the forum that has a welder and let them tack it and send it back....

Raider12 13 #4 Posted June 1, 2009 Im thinking that welding this "ball" back on may not be a good idea. I stand to be corrected on this (please chime in if I am) but this ball on the bottom of the shift is hardend. Welding it back would ruin the temp on this. But Im just thinking this could be a short lived repair. I would search for a replacement first and weld as a last resort. My 2 cents Denver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #5 Posted June 1, 2009 Kelly, The shifter is for a 1054a. It broke just about an 1 inch outside the trans. I pulled the trans and put a different shifter in just to check everything out. It shifts fine I just need to replace the original shifter. Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #6 Posted June 1, 2009 If you want to mail it to Indiana I would be glad to weld it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #7 Posted June 2, 2009 I've got a tractor here that has had the ball welded on (I didnt do it, it was done many years ago) and there dont seem to be any ill effects from it. And this is the ball itself. Yours is broken an inch or so above the ball, right? I doubt any (electric) welding an inch away would affect the temper of the ball (if in fact the ball is hardened - I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt).
