I'm having trouble with the forward gears 2 and 4 only in an 8820 combine. Would you suggest pulling the transmission and attempting a rebuild or just buy a used one a replace it?

What do you mean by "having trouble"? Won't go in gear? Won't stay in gear?

You put it in gear and forward doesn't work. Reverse does. I would guess the collar is worn.

Had the same problem many years ago. Pull the cover and look for a split washer laying in the housing. For a quick fix we held the washer back in place and brazed it together with the rest of the transmission parts protected with a welders leather apron. We used it for a few more years with no more problems. Good luck.
