Allen I just got in for dinner. When I go back out to the shop I'll grab my "826 transmission manual" and see how I may be able to help you if the systems are identical. I am no super mechanic but I always get a service manual on anything I work on. I hope you have one I'm sure it'll help more then I can.

I know there is alot of talk about certain repairs being "expensive", and this goes for any old tractors. I'll give you an example. I think you could apply this to most situations people have on this forum. I have a '71 John Deere 4020 with Powershift that I am currently overhauling the engine on. Since I got the thing in 2001 I've gone thru the entire tractor transmission, brakes, etc. Including the purchase price I'll have about $20,000 in it. I don't think I could sell it for that(the paint isn't shiny). It's a perfect tractor for my 50 cow dairy farm and I don't hafta share it with the bank. A new tractor like that would cost at least twice as much, more with a full powershift. Think about that next time a repair gets "expensive".
