Tractor forums say that you should shift gears without pulling up on the shifter to avoid this issue on an older tractor. Pulling up lets the shifter slip out of the groove and jams the shift mechanism.

Brother...Thank You! I was seeing dollar bills flying out of my pocket. I used your video that helped me realize I could stick a big screwdriver in the cap and free up the gears. Massey Ferguson 240. Thanks again!

Where did you get your spring?

Yes, this was helpful to see how the gears work with the top off. I'm trying to fix mine on MF231

Make sure no old gas in it and if there is clean it out.

JWynn That's a Shovel Head engine. Did you check for spark? I would check it for spark also recommend buying a compression gauge and check each cylinder kicking engine over see how much life that engine has left in it. I would recommend putting a little of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder let it set in the cylinders for a few weeks that help loose up the rings or anything stuck then after few weeks hook compression gauge up test the compression. The seals are most likely bad some of old Harley's leak oil because seals go bad. You can buy after market seals that are better than factory seals. Sometimes base gaskets also go bad.

Hi

You're awesome, and your attitude is great for figuring it out... Come take your time with mine and fix it... 🧐😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why does it get stuck in gear? Is there a way of not getting it stuck?

Hi, every little bit helps. Ive been stuck in a field and ended up using a long screwdriver to get going again.

My mf 375 got stuck in reverse gear yesterday. The left gear shifter would hardly move, and was in an upright position like it was in neutral, so something was blocking it from moving as it should. Saw your video and decided to give it a go myself. Found the gear lever spring broken. The widest (upper) part of the spring had slipped below the locking circlip at the end of the lever and jammed both linkages to 1st and reverse (#2 from the left) and 2nd and 3rd (#1 left). The narrow part of the spring was still in place above the circlip. Changed the spring and put some grease on the ball on the lever arm with the locking pin. Then put all linkages in neutral and aligned the lever arms carefully to slip correctly into the slots as I moved the plate with the lever arms back in place. Tractor up and running again, shifting fine through all gears. The gear lever spring is hard to compress while the fitting the circlip if you do this alone. Lock the lever arm in a bench wise or have a friend to hold the lever arm while the spring is compressed. I think the spring is the same through all series from 135, 200s, 300s and up to the 5000s. Thanks!

Awesome bike man! I wish you all the very best restoring you fathers bike.

bro how do u only have one sub I'm subscribing to u +1sub

Hi Jay! Did you get it up and running? We just got our Massey Ferguson 240 stuck also. None of the gears are locking into place, the stick gear moves very easily. Yes this video is helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for this Jay . My massy is struck in reverse I think this will help.
