BJ, great meeting you. I learned that these trucks will give you headaches, problems and WILL get scratched, dinged, dented and crunched at times. Nature of the beast. It MUST be taken in stride, otherwise it becomes too much. Truth be told I am sure part of the 1st gear broke off when the shift lever broke. It allowed the gear to engage at 55+ mph. After the tack weld the lever was fixed but the gear most likely lay in the bottom of the transmission. 2nd gear gave out about 50 miles from home and we inched her home in 3rd. I could of tried addressing the issue there at the awesome Sutter Farm, but I wanted to enjoy the day with you fine folks and let the issues catch up with me later. That being said, for a 60 year old transmission, I am blessed. Tomorrow I will remove the driver door, pull the transmission and plan for a fall trip. Thanks.

Great way of putting it! When I got home tonight my father was at my house. The first thing he did was walk right over and ask how the door got crunched. I explained that the transmission needed work and after fixing it I was backing up and left the door open. He just hung his head and walked away.... dad was not proud. lol He forgets about the time when he let his Packard take out a chicken coop because the parking brake wasn't set.

Hate to hear about your door and tranny. It sounds like the bad luck you had in getting to my place last fall continued. But I'm glad you made it back home, and you'll have it fixed in no time.

But Dad's Name is Jeff..he goes by "graygt07" here. He isn't real active on the forum, because he actually works on his projects!
And no...it is not this Jeff...my youngest is 15...two girls...both 15...stepsister's not twins...they never "debate"
I found out one really likes John Deere!!
Why do I think I am going to be made fun of?
