Have problems with my 1650. Trans not engaging.

Thanks for the info...My relief valves are automatic.

Pulled the fenders/seat off and couldn't take the snap ring off because the pliers I have are too big. Will get some smaller ones and try again tomorrow. The first link below shows the plow hooked up and the lift works well. the second link shows the slop on the brackets and the trunnion wear. Hopefully this is my only problem and I can repair it and start using my tractor.

You have to remove the rear end to work on all the linkage. You can't take it apart in the frame. There isn't room. You can get the springs out, but you can't take the cam bracket out (the one held on with the snap ring) while the rear is in the frame.

I think your looking at the wrong area anyway. Jack the tractor up so it can roll without moving, run it and look at all the linkage while operating it. See of you can see where the loose parts are before you tear it all apart. You should be able to see a lot of it without it running.... but this way you can do both.

I did my 149 in the frame but it's a Bit-h. Think I used every 4 letter word and then some. Probably could have saved time if I pulled the rear. You need small right angle snap ring pliers to be able to get the snap rings off, getting them back on is lots of fun.

Usually if the lift/lower is unresponsive during travel of the tractor, if is because of insufficient pressure/flow,
which goes back to possibly filter/oil contamination and/or relief valve.
We can see trunnion wear in the pix, but that should not affect the aux. valve

try swaping the relieve valves. maybe will move in reverse and not forward. guessing that you may have a couple of pump pistons bad in the hydro, this will cause the jerking????
