Yep, & I'm betting Thor27 still has some of it all. Question is, will this be seen?

Yeah, that Thor guy is a bit of a hoarder...  that 418 was a flawless mower for me for 5 years, was looking a bit too long in the tooth so it came apart last summer for a refresh

and ended up donating it's magnum to a horse with an eaton 11..

It's going to go back together with a repower eventually. What stalled this here was I had swapped to a trans I had rebuilt and I missed something,

it is stuck between hi and low. I'm sure it will be an easy fix, but instead I just rolled it into the back of the shop so I don;t have to look at it for a while.

The magnum went onto a blackhood "ol' Roy" that is taking a COLOSSUS amount of time to go together too.

THAT'S funny.  

@Thor27 Excellent. 

The pun and the tractor.  

Pop that transmission apart and let's have a look see at it. 

Is it stuck with the shifter in ONLY or does a huge screwdriver do the same thing about not moving the shift forks?

Thanks Eric, It will be a bit before I get back on that one. It's the hi low range shifter. I thought it made sense to grab it off the shelf instead of cleaning and painting the one on it. 

Didn't notice a problem 'til after i put it together and put the pin in the shifter.

 

It's a 20 footer at best.

High low shifter forks went south I bet. Don't force it and don't ask me how I know... :hide:

Sure would like to have a M18 fall from the sky and on my Super C. 

Love that tire selection on the 418. :handgestures-thumbupright:

I'll wait to see what Thor says for sure but those look a lot like the Carlisle Tru Power I run.

Having run them for several years now on several tractors I'd agree.  

Mine are fluid filled for extra weight and traction.  

 

Here's a zoomed pic from another thread here about 2-1/2 years ago.
