RE: (ET) Transaxle Trouble

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

I have not seen this on a small tractor, but have on full-size 
farm tractors.  It usually is either worn bearings on a shaft or 
a worn shaft.  You have to re-build the transaxle.  I have seen 
people with brused hands from trying to 'hold' the gearshift 
lever in place on a farm tractor in this condition.

I have progressed(?) from a 3-speed transaxle to a single speed unit in 
the 
past two months in my E-20.  The shifter just won't stay engaged in the 
highest two gears.  It pops out when the drive motor is engaged.  Any
wisdom?

Thanks,
