M6800 stuck in low range

[jkebxjunke]

Hi,
searched and didnt find anything on my problem...
Have an M6800 4wd shuttle shift with creep range.
went to shift from creep to low range and now lever is stuck in the neutral but tractor is on low range... not a good thing now because I need it yesterday... and on a time crunch right now.
looked at the parts diagram got a couple of things to check.. looks like it uses cables to shift.. going to check that out now.


Any thoughts?

Yep check the cables, anything deeper than that and your going to need to dive in to it.
It's not very common for a shift fork to break or to get misaligned, so my money would be on a broken shift cable.

good news... one of the levers had 'jumped' out of the notch on the main lever handle .. it was an easy fix... and I was back to work ...
