Finished servicing the 5075M and was just about ready to bring in a 1026R to put a loader and mower on it and was sent out on an "emergency" repair. Left the shop with minimal tools to go work on a New Holland that left the farmer stranded along side the road. He was bringing it back to the shop after renting it. The problem is that everything worked except the "propulsion". It would not move. This was an "automatic" transmission and it was not going into gear. After unplugging and plugging in connections and moving wires, I called the shop and fortunately our truck driver was there he came with a lowboy trailer and winched the tractor up on it and delivered it back to the shop. One of the other technicians that had worked on this tractor came in that afternoon and "slammed" the clutch pedal down and the tractor moved. Go-figure. Anyway, brought in the 1026R and am just about done installing the mower and loader.
