I have a 1946 W6 and fifth gear slips out as soon as there is a laod on it, i.e.- as soon as the clutch is engaged. To travel in 5th, I have to hold it in gear, which is not hard, but can be tricky when trying to negotiate the road. Is this a simple problem or does it require major work. I have a '49 Chevy 3600 which slipped out of high gear, but it turned out to be just a detent ball had slipped out. Could this be similar? I can only think it is this or either the gear is too worn. I don't have a parts manual yet, but will be getting one. The service manual doesn't offer much help(at least the IH manual doesn't). Thanks for your help.

Most Farmalls have that problem after years of service. I had that problem with an M transmission. It can be a combination of problems. The parts that wear are the shifter forks and slides, detent balls and springs, and the holes in the casting of the transmission. The holes in the casting of the transmission were worn on mine. I ended up getting a different transmission cover from the salvage yard. Balls, springs, and some of the slide parts are available from CaseIH. You can probably find some good used parts at a salvage yard. Roger

Sometimes the shift fork can be bent. You can see this through the belt pulley cover. This fork can be bent back to where it's supposed to be. It takes some imagination. My phone number is 641 847 2731 call me.
