I don’t know what that means, if it’s a hydraulic thing or what, but the tractor is operating.

Having said that, I am not interested in parting it out or hanging onto it in anyway. I want to get it into someone’s hands that will know what to do with it. That’s why I’m ok with a best offer.

Thanks again, if you know what that shifting issue might be, if appreciate an idea!
Well it's a hydro so it doesn't really have "gears". It's probably a linkage or trunion issue. Neither of which are major. A few hours and 20 bucks worth of parts will likely fix anything wrong with it, but that's just a guess without looking at it.

I'd put it up on CL or FB marketplace and ask 900 for it all. Someone might buy it up at that price, but that's a reasonable starting place to negotiate from as well.
