tmix61 81 #1 Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Bought a used Rear end from a man changed out mine I did not have reverse. This newer rearend I had reverse and slowly went away giving up hope of having a plow tractor this winter it did have ATF in it I drained it and put 10W30. That's what my tractor was running before the rear end died I broke a bolt in it and had nothing but troubles after I replaced the bolt and some bearings inside flushed it out still didn't have reverse took that rear end out put in a newer rear end or another rear end drained the ATF out and filled it with 10w30 had reverse for about 4 or 5 minutes good strong forward gear but no reverse now.

Achto 27,571 #2 Posted December 20, 2023 Are you sure that you have full movement of the forward/reverse valve on the tranny? Might be a linkage issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
