Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

David Brown 1490 - Gearbox

Hi Iv a David Brown 1490, Manual Gearbox. The LOW-HIGH levers (2 small levers at the left hand side, across from the clutch) have gone solid stiff. Got progressively worse over the years, and now can hardly move them at all - nearly breaking the gear sticks at this stage Any ideas how to fix - or what the problem is?

Dive in between the floor of the cab and the g'box, check the linkage as it goes across and down on to the top of the box.

If you can't see anything wrong there take off the top where the lever goes into the box and pull it out to have a look, you'll have to disconnect the linkage to be able to pull it out into the fresh air..
