My Lt1000 tractor will not shift ( 917-272670) It is stuck in one gear and I cannot get it to shift, either with the engine running, or not. It has the regular gear transmission--not a hydro. I am guessing that there is a rust issue. The tractor was briefly (1 hour) submerged last year when we had a flash flood in our neighborhood. I was able to get all the water out of the engine and get it running well again last year immediately after it happened, but did not consider anything with the transmission. it ran and cut fine, but I did notice hard shifting at the end of the season.
I have tried spraying all the exterior components of the transmission--the input shaft and input shift lever shaft with WD40 to see if it would help break something loose. No improvement.
Also, my brakes barely work.
Any ideas or suggestions? Is it worth trying to take the transmission out and open it up? Is there another possibility I am overlooking?
