Shifter on old Craftsman 6-speed tractor
It sometimes gets stuck in a gear. Using the clutch doesn't free it up.
It responds to force sometimes. In 17 years I've never added oil to the transaxle. The manual does not say to do it, but I wonder. Any advice? |

If you have the same 6 speed as I, there is no fill plug that I can find. After 17 years you may be reaching the end of the mower's-or transmission's- usefull life. |
