Gentlemen of the Ether Net: I think I may have stumbled onto my erroneous train of thought. I have assumed that if I were trying to push start an suto (manual tranny) or tractor by pushing it in gear the motion would transmit via the drive shaft and turn the engine sufficient to start. However, I have not factored in the reduction gear sisnce they are not present in autos or field tractors. I think the problem is in the creeper gear box and as suggested by a CC old-time mechanic the yolk which pushes the HI or LO position might be worn and it lets the gear slide into the middle position which in essence disengages the drive shaft from the engine to the input shaft of the reduction gear in the rear trans. I did take the cover off the trans at the gear selector (top rear) and found no gears stripped of broken.
Well, back to the barn...I'll keep those interested informed of progress or lack of....
Thanks Again...yours truly DinkyDau (VietNaameese for ?Nuts (Mental that is)...too much bunker time or exposure to Agent Orange.
