TJN Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have a mate of mine who has a Series 111 that is stuck in neutral on the hi-low lever. It has overdrive which is able to select and all gears but cant move the hi-low lever. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Tried rocking the truck back and forwards while pushing on the lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 If the S3 is the same as the S2 in this respect, on the front of the gearbox, near the base of the Hi/Lo lever, there is a tinplate cover with three (I think) protruding tubes (with closed ends). Water gets in here and rusts up the works. Remove the cover, clean, lubricate, and free off, replace the cover with some instant gasket to stop water getting in again. Alternatively it might be a loose nut on the end of a shaft, which I believe is accessible by removing a cover at the rear of the box. Of the two possible remedies, I'm less certain about the second one. Hoping someone else gives a more experienced second opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
