Mine seems to be slipping in and out when in high, as it will be driving fine and then slow down/hesitate and then begin to pull again. It's almost like pushing the clutch in and releasing it. Works fine in low. Also, high doesn't always hold back which is probably the same issue I describe above. My question: Before I have the tractor worked on, is it possible there is a filter stopped up or something that could cause the high multi not to work properly? I just bought the tractor and it hasn't been used much for about 5-6 years, mostly just light bushhogging. I read in one of your comments that the gears would be hard to change in high. I have experienced that too while subsoiling. It stuck at the end of every row unless I was quick to get it out of gear before I completely stopped.

It seems to be sort of in between, because in the "high" possition, it works for a second then free wheels, then if I slow it with the brake it with re-engage. So, would I be better ($$$)to "lock it out" or repair it? I have just purchased a 1970 165 with multi power and it doesn’t seem to be working properly.
