I was using my Deuce winch to drag logs out of my back yard and things were going fine until I backed out. It was a tight space with the remaining trees & stone wall, so a few of 1st/reverse maneuvers…![Doh! :doh: :doh:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/smiley_doh.gif)
I had not heard of the reverse -1st rule and managed to lock up my transmission. The shift lever was stuck in the third gear position and would not move. After reading the SS posts and reading the Transmission manual, I jacked the rear tires to take the tension off the transfer and transmission and was able to shift the transfer to neutral. Then I took off the shifter shaft cover. First and Seconds gears were engaged- not good. The forks looked good; no bent or broken pieces. The shift lever had jumped the end of the fork and was jammed against the Interlock Plate. Even with the Cover off the transmission I could not move the shift lever from the 3rd gear position. By working the interlock plate with a flat blade screw driver and moving the forks, I was able to realign the Forks, Plate and gear shift lever to neutral.
The second/third fork shifter shaft guide (part of the cast cover) on the forward end is cracked; I probably should replace the cover…any suggestions?
Thanks for this site – it has been a godsend.
Thinking of my uncle who was a waist gunner on a B-24 shot down after a raid on Munich, July 1944. After the Munich raid he was a POW for the remainder of the war. He never spoke of it until he was in his eighties…
