It goes in 1st and 2nd, but not 3rd or 4th. Must be something in the tranny? anyone has any problems like that?
 
Dosent that unit have long linkages from the shifter to the tranny? If so they are probably bent a little.... I wouldnt think that the tranny would be damaged especially in those gears

Kevin
 
maybe a little out of adjustment?

I just find it hard to see something wrong with the tranny,,, reverse working fine?

Kevin
 
Usually,, not allways, 3 and 4th share the same shaft with reverse. I am not really familiar with that particular tranny, but it sure sounds like something is wrong with either the linkage on the tranny, or with the cables somehow.... hard to tell really without being there

Kevin
 
Any noises?

Hydro or just a gear drive? I'm assuming a gear drive only, with variable speed? Possible variable speed, belt problem...like the belt or sheave won't support the torque needed for the bigger gears?

I'm a Gleaner guy, but I've seen all sorts of stupid problems;)

To be honest, and we have lots of green up here, I have never seen a 4400 before.. what vintage would that be?

Way too small to have many up there...you're in big country, where even the little guys had big combines to cover all that grain territory.

At least from what I've seen when I was up there;)

4400's are early 70's IIRC!

Chris
 
You were up here Chris, what part of the country were you in?

Yeah alot of the farmers up where I am from have the new 96xx series JD's etc. Half million dollar combines. The fellow that rents my land has the new Cat combine with tracks on it

Not near as far up as you are, I believe.

I was around Winnepeg, and Portage la Praire a couple years ago. We were touring the Buhler factory (we're dealers), and then spent a few days at an Allis Chalmers show out at Portage.

Too flat up there:D

yeah its small, we have other combines we use. I keep this one, because there isn't many others out there in this shape i have never seen any others with the Mud Hog system on

I was curious if those were rear wheel assist or not. The hub looked like it was. That is the first 00 series JD that I have seen with the 4WD on it.
 
That is quite a bit south of me,, close to the equator,,,, LOL,, where I am from we are only a hop skip and a jump to the Rocky Mountains, so not as flat... Gods land. Where I am living now is in smack dab in the middle of the borealis forest,,, no farming, trees and oil sands everywheres.

I hear ya Chris, never been green myself, we were red (international) Massey combines later on a white
