First gear is blocked off on my JD 430 transmission, preventing the shifter from going into the 1st gear position.
I'd like to get first gear back. How should I investigate? Take the top cover off, where the shifter is located?
Thanks,
Bill

Re: Transmission - First gear blocked
Removing the top cover of the transmission will let you look into it. Do you have the service manual (SM2019) for the 420/430 tractors? If you don't you need to get one to guide you through the inspection you endeavor to undertake. Contact Lavoy (postmaster@jdcrawlers.com), he has manuals for sale and can help get you the right ones.
The service manual for the 420/430 refers to the 40 series manual (SM2013) for some things, you should have that one as well. If you have a wet clutch reverser you will need info from a 440 manual (SM2023) for that component as only the gear type reverser is in the 420/430 manual.
The operators manual is OMT60558 for serial numbers 140001 and up.
You can use the free online parts manual at https://jdparts.deere.com/servlet/com.d ... nguage=19 . The 430s are included with the 420s in the Parts Catalog (PC505). Both reversers are shown in the parts catalog.

Re: Transmission - First gear blocked
I took the cover off and it was very easy to see the 5 speed transmission part that was worn - M4195T. Item number 7 in this link ....

I called the local John Deere dealer and they said that part is no longer available for the 430C.
Is there another source for parts?
Thanks,
Bill
