No insult here Rich but you guys checked the lever at the back that engages drive? I forgot that on my dads.

I recently bought one of these for my ageing dad to make maintaining his block a bit easier. A second hand unit.

I had no idea about them and rang a John Deere dealer just to query spares prices. Apparently the price of these gearboxes has dropped to respectable levels recently and they are generally they only thing that causes too many issues. Don't quote me but $700 to 800 seems to ring a bell. All speculation I know as the problem hasn't been identified yet but just thought I would mention it.

How many hours on it Rich?
