Wow, that's a blast from the past. Had this exact same issue on our 1086 back in the '80s. I didn't know any better as a pre-teen and thought I'd ruined the entire transmission. If I recall the tractor was at the shop for several weeks.
LOL we had to do that for a few years when had a clutch put in fixed that shift linkage I feel your pain! It's a standard feature of the xx86 series lol
Have international 485 similar probs,where slipping from low to high gear the lever sometimes jams...gentle with it and loads of lubricant oil around gear levers keeps it happy.
We have the same problem with our 986. There is a triangle piece and rod under the seat floor. If the shifter gets stuck i can just pry that peice backwards and it fixes it. You have to gonin from the left side by the rear tire. Takes me about 30sec.
Had a lot of trouble with it on the 786. Trouble was the snap ring on the end of the shaft, the groove eventually wouldn't hold the snap ring. We cut a hatch in the side of the cab behind the wheel for access, put a stack of washers on the shaft to hold the lever tight, and tack welded a smaller washer to the end of the shaft. End of troubles.
Happens to my 1086 too, around once a year. We have learned to put the clutch in carefully, come to a complete stop, shift slowly into the next gear (. High low or neutral). It doesn't happen as often. Pretty frustrating. Thanks.
Got an old ford 535 tractor I think this is the issue, gonna pull the cover off and see why my tractor is such a pain in the ass to switch the gears around. Seems like I’m trying to shift through a brick full of bolts.
Just an idea. On our 1486 with 9,000+ hours what helped it not do that was making sure we clutched it when we went to neutral from hi rather than a pull. Not sayin y'all don't its just what worked for us
on our 986, with, 10,000 hours, and it was a loader tractor so it shifts hard. if we get the rear end up higher than the front, in reverse, the park,/ reverse plate will get stuck, and if you get the lever weaseled out if the reverse slot, into a another rang, it will get stuck between gears, it will happen anytime, when the rear end gets up higher than front, so that might cause something like what happened to your 1086, but that my opinion and expirences
My 1086 is doing this. I believe it is play in the linkage where it goes into the transmission(small bolt worn). Have not taken the seat out yet to know for sure. Hard to see up under there but feels loose and sloppy there.
got to push that clutch in before shifting not during and the 10&1586 were hard to find gears. ih656 is like this and jd3010 and all older case with power shift. growing up i can't remember the thousands of times my dad almost killed me always leaving tractors in gear when he shut them off. you ever bale hay small squares with a case power shift? downshifting is very jerky & dangerous on the hay wagons.
It works now when the wind blows. We took the doors off before I ever drove it, so fifteen years plus. It all worked when dad bought it. Mom made him get a cab tractor when I was born.
At least we aren't the only ones. It's been a long time since it's happened to me, mostly Dad and Brad. But I'd trade my 1466 for another 1086 just like ours.
man i'd get tired of fixing that all the time.. have u tryed oiling the moving parts so they wont lock up again? im pissed off becuz i have hay on the ground & its going 2 rain on & off 4 the next 7 days.. i hate the weather people..lol
I've already fixed it twice this season and I use that word loosely. "Fixed" is not the right word. I would greatly enjoy updating the shift linkage if someone could point me in the right direction for an updated kit for this tractor. - Brad
u can find the parts on caseih . com. i had order a book 4 my 1586, but the parts numbers r from the 1970's. but case would no the updated part numbers. i had 2 order a antenna 4 my 1586 all i had was outdated numbers but they found it..
Boehm Farm shut it off in gear if you're not trying to use the PTO while stationary you can cut you a board to put between the brake pedals and the steering wheel while it's running LOL don't get me going I'm good at rigging something even if it's wrong

The quick fix is only a few minutes, the proper repair might take a few hours.

Thank you this was extremely helpful I found it to be applicable for 1586 also!!

very good vid. my dad always crawled around under the hot tractor cab with prybars
Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Helped save a lot of time trying to fix our 3388.
I'm glad we could help.
The entire 86 series have that same problem. My 886 does it quite often and usually at the worst times........

If it helps I always fix the one on the family farm and it's never me that breaks it😂.. it's always my older brother or his kids😅

Most of the time it doesn't happen when I'm driving. I don't think I have special procedure to avoid getting stuck.
Thanks. Exactly what I needed. Great vid
Literally you just go under the tractor and use a pry bar and just pry gently on the linkage. Takes 2 minutes. You did it the extremely hard way

My left foot is well worked out. The issue is going from high to park, which we would be stopped, clutch in.
Hey thanks man, had this problem and this will fix it!
It's a very common problem take the seat out an remove the shift cover an rebuild it the roller an shift panel where out
That's the linkage bolt that loosens up take the seat off and stand on your head and tighten it up also a key in it should fix the problem.

Now that sounds like a predicament.
My 1086 is doing this. I believe it is play in the linkage where it goes into the transmission(small bolt worn). Have not taken the seat out yet to know for sure. Hard to see up under there but feels loose and sloppy there.
We'll probably pull the seat on ours to make adjustments. I'm sure the connectors are loose.
That's why we keep a handy crowbar in all of our internationals and we keep the shifting cover off
It'll get us once or twice a year. Usually when someone goes for park too quickly from high.
Boehm Farm yeah we'll have that. Then it'll freewheel when you have a load going up a hill and you drop the ta.
Can you describe where and what to pry on? We have the same issue. 🙏
Kinda liking that seat
It's made for sitting all day waiting to fish. Should be good for sitting all day in a tractor.
@@boehmfarm4276 damn right
The fixes that only involve labor are welcomed! Ha ha. Glad you could work it out!
Lots of labor around here. Thanks.

I used the TA when we baled a little bit with the 1086, but I watched to pull it down so I wouldn't throw Brad off the wagon.
Anyone know how to get an ig 886 trans that's stuck between park and reverse? I've tried everything but that one trick
our 15 was like that. when we did the motor we had it fixed. 684 does that to sometimes
What did you do?
Boehm Farm we didn't do the work we took it in to have it done.
thank you very much!!!!
Looks like a winter project.
Or sooner...
Don't think it has to do with the age or the hours. Those were an issue when they were new also
Well, it never happened before 10,000 hours.
My 4230 case the big gear stick stuck in 4 th cant get it out
That's a little new for my experience .
My 785xl did that today !
Hello. New to your channel. Great Great videos. What is your college degree focused on ? You are very smart guy..
Agronomy and minor in math. Thanks for watching.
Meant " you are a very smart guy".
Hang in there. Later for now.
So how many years has it been since the air conditioning worked?
It works now when the wind blows.
We took the doors off before I ever drove it, so fifteen years plus. It all worked when dad bought it. Mom made him get a cab tractor when I was born.
Just learning in case it happens to my 986
I hope this is helpful.
Our 986 does the same thing
At least we aren't the only ones. It's been a long time since it's happened to me, mostly Dad and Brad. But I'd trade my 1466 for another 1086 just like ours.
This happened to one of our tractors
It's not to rare an event I hear.
man i'd get tired of fixing that all the time.. have u tryed oiling the moving parts so they wont lock up again? im pissed off becuz i have hay on the ground & its going 2 rain on & off 4 the next 7 days.. i hate the weather people..lol

Shame it wasn't engineered or built right to start with LOL:) IH LOL:) No thanks. OL J R :)
👍👌🇨🇦❤
looks like problem solved tell him don't put it in park no more
That would be wonderful if everything was flat.
Boehm Farm shut it off in gear if you're not trying to use the PTO while stationary you can cut you a board to put between the brake pedals and the steering wheel while it's running LOL don't get me going I'm good at rigging something even if it's wrong
Park is not the issue. I just need to use the park position for the lever to help extract the linkage from high range.
Boehm Farm call good I'm just fooling around you know what to do with your stuff
